Why I'm Glad that Hotel Transylvania is Over | Hotel Transylvania: Transformania Review

If Hotel Transylvania is going to have a finale, then I'm going to give it the ultimate send-off it deserves with one of my biggest reviews yet

Comments

Lady Helen Bio Rodriguez

If it shall end for real, well you certainly made this a memorable occasion!

Hunter O'Laughlin

Really interesting for this review, you went into a more in-depth analysis similar to your reviews of Hunchback of Dame II and Encanto and recapped your thoughts on the previous Hotel Transylvania films for this considering this is the last one. I’m glad that the franchise is over and won’t be continuing to be milked for money like another animated franchise *cough* Ice Age *cough* I wonder if you’ll bring back this style of review when reviewing the latest Ice Age film, The Adventures of Buck Wild?

Hunter O'Laughlin

He certainly did. I wonder if he’ll do this type of review again when he comes around to reviewing Ice Age: The Adventures of Buck Wild.

Justin Monti

I have to say you really went above and beyond with this review. Personally when it comes to the Hotel Transylvania movies, I've only seen the first two movies and personally while not great I do consider them flawed but still fun and enjoyable films. But I haven’t seen Summer Vacation or Transformania and honestly I really don’t have much interest. In my opinion and the films would be released they start to get repetitive, while I did enjoy the animation in the first two films I really think it got overused and eventually did not look appealing, and the humor felt like it got more juvenile with each film. Although one thing I gonna say about Transformania is that I gotta give a massive congratulations to Brian Hull and his performance in this movie and I also have nothing but respect for him for voicing the main character in a billion dollar animated franchise. But honestly it is honestly for the best that this is the last film, because now it really does feel Sony Animation has moved on to making better animated films and being more experimental so it definitely feels like it’s time to let Hotel Transylvania go. Also Mat, I really do admire how you really have matured over the years when it comes to your thoughts on Sony Animation and you expressing your opinion on their films. And while I don’t agree with you and some of your opinions, I will always respect you for expressing them, and again like I said it is for the best that this is the last Hotel Transylvania movie so now we can see Sony Animation continue to move on to bigger and better things.

I’m willing to bet Ice Age Adventures of Buck Wild will get an even worse rating

Kenneth Stoddard

Originally, I wasn’t planning on watching your review when it comes to the Hotel Transylvania movies, but after watching the fourth film and find it to be the weakest of the franchise, I have to see what your take on the fourth and final installment looked like because for once I agree that this film sucked. Look I normally don’t agree with your opinion when it comes to most of Sony Animation films especially with the Cloudy films since I do grew up with those films and considered them good movies. I even in fact avoided most of your Sony reviews because of the slandering and harsh treatment towards the studio, filmmakers, and animators since they were just doing their jobs while earning money for their families and I even find your statement at the end of the Emoji Movie of saying they should be shutdown as a real low point as a YouTuber yourself. Having opinion on certain movie is no problem, but when it comes to attacking a studio like Sony, that a real turnoff for me and I end up avoiding those videos because if I do, I’ll end up in a blind rage of giving harsh treatment of attacking a studio is shameful. In fact, that the reason of why I didn’t follow you on YouTube or on Patreon until mid to late summer of 2018 because of the treatment towards Sony. However, you were younger at the time and you didn’t know better but I am happy that you changed over the years when Yoshi Player and other people talk to you because if it wasn’t for them, I couldn’t imagine of you getting worst from there. For this review, I think you handled it surprisingly well of what works and what didn’t of the fourth film, why you never like Hotel Transylvania to begin with, and what could’ve been better if this franchise can good. Of there are some parts that I don’t agree with but overall, your video looked justifiable of why in your opinion never liked the franchise to begin with. For me, personally, I find the franchise to be harmless. I don’t see anything offensive about them but they are at least decent to get through or even at least entertaining for the kids compare to something like the recent animated Addams Family movies. For this film, I thought it was weaker than the third film and maybe because I miss Tartakovsky’s directing, but it looked liked it ran out of ideas. I thought the story was predictable, writing was poor, flat jokes that I barely laugh, stale characters, bland direction, and pretty much recycled material from the first film. Although I find the animation decent despite how much of huge downgrade it became compared to the first film, good voice acting including Brian Hull who did very well as Dracula, and I know you’re gonna disagree with me, but I thought the ending was ended on the high note after going through a very effective climax. Again, is it the worst animated movie I seen, no because at I’m happy that this movie ended with a conclusion compared to Ice Age Collision Course. Speaking of which, I’m more dreaded with Buck Wild and Minions 2 that is coming out this year more so than the last installment of Hotel Transylvania as Disney refused to let Ice Age extinct and with Minions 2 continues to go down on it downhill trend for the Despicable Me franchise ever since the first Minion movie came out. I know this is the biggest comment I ever made so far but I have a lot to say to you individually and the movie and the franchise itself so I need to let it all out so we can move past the franchise and with Sony in general for making cartoony style animated films for the last time. Sorry about all this but good job on your video and I hope I can continue in supporting your videos on Patreon.

Kim Lechman

So I watched movie, despite having the same feelings for the franchise that you have for it, only because I live Brian Hull and wanted to support the fact that he got an opportunity to do a voice in a major animated film. But before that, I decided to watch The Mitchells, Vivo, and Encanto (since I had yet to watch it and wanted more of my Lin-Manuel Miranda kick after watching Vivo) and I’m definitely glad I did, because I REALLY did not like this movie, and if I had started my day watching that first, it would’ve been a miserable day for me.

Well it’s good thing I saw BELLE instead of this “Prime” garbage. Sure everyone has their own opinions me on the other hand started 2022 with an anime that got me to cry 3 out of 5 songs in Japanese, with Beautiful Animation, & Characters while some are not the strong but breathtaking & almost relatable. Unfortunately knowing Canada I hope you can find some way to see it

Hugo Segal

Here's another computer-animated franchise worth comparing "Hotel Transylvania" to: "Madagascar." On the surface, they evoke a similar clunky, cartoony aesthetic (down to having character designers and story artists on board such as Craig Kellman, Andy Bialk, and David Feiss) and aim for their brand of zany, "Looney Tunes"-esque humor. However, the latter has an edge in its ability to balance its style AND substance as legit feature films that just so happen to be comedic. In fact, that franchise would be considered "ahead of its time" (arguably more so than "Horton Hears a Who!") for meshing 2D character physics within a 3D environment, which "H.T." was trying to emulate this whole time.

Hunter O'Laughlin

Unfortunately, even director of the Madagascar trilogy Tom McGrath, forgot to balance out the cartoony style and substance of the story when he made The Boss Baby films.

Hugo Segal

@HunterO’Laughlin That I can agree with, even if I would argue he wasn’t entirely at fault, especially regarding the source material.

Trenton Girone

I watched this with my mother. While I definitely had fun, I understand and respect your opinion, AniMat. I sure wish Adam Sandler was there as Drac, though! (Folds arms, unimpressed)

Hunter O'Laughlin

Yeah. It’s hard to make an adaptation of a short children’s book that never had much of a story.

Hugo Segal

I think that, in retrospect to Mat’s “Cloudy #1” review, he was trying to emphasize that that movie was Lord & Miller’s feature directorial DEBUT; an opportunity for them to learn from their creative missteps and improve as one of Hollywood’s most influential collaborative duos this past decade. Unlike now, however, Mat lacked the ability to articulate his thoughts in a way that was frank, yet never out of malicious intent; hence why his older Sony videos (or videos that are egregious for mentioning Sony in a negative light) should include a discretionary warning in the description box stating that some of the opinions heard by the viewer do not accurately reflect Mat as a reviewer today.

Hugo Segal

Comparing the animation of “HT1” to “Transformania” is not only night and day, but a testament to how somewhat restrained the character rigging and zaniness was.

Kenneth Stoddard

@Hugo Segal. Exactly! All of his older Sony video or videos that he mentioned Sony in a negative way should include a warning on a description to let everyone know his opinions were harsh at the time and that he has moved on as an individual. Something like Warner Bros used to do with their dated cartoons. I hope he applied that on to his videos.

Trenton Girone

OK, this was a little harsh. Brian Hull did a good job looking back, and I could barely tell the difference. I was just so used to Adam’s portrayal of the character. Sorry, everyone.

Bryce Gundy

When it comes to the hotel Transylvania movies, I’m not really that fond of how overly cartoony the animation is. I find it more annoying with how it can all feel like it’s shoved into your face.
