We're always on the lookout for a great animation here at Awesome-Robo (in case you haven't noticed...). As of late, we've been finding that most full-length features can be pretty hit-or-miss (the most recent hit being The Secret World of Arrietty). On the horizon is this old school monster inspired flick, Hotel Transylvania. The vocal cast is rounded out by Adam Sandler, Kevin James, and David Spade, among others. While I worry about this past-their-prime (in terms of talent) cast, I'll try to reserve judgement until the film comes out in September (or at least until we get a trailer). Hey, it does have the redeeming factor of Steve Buscemi, after all.
The general synopsis of the film is this: Dracula runs a monsters and ghouls only hotel, and invites the crew over for his daughter Mavis' coming of age birthday (which is 118, BTW). The motto of the hotel is "Human Free since 1898", which all changes when a backpacker named Johnny stumbles upon the hotel, and falls for Mavis. Dracula finds out, and instead of kicking him out, decides to disguise Johnny as a monster, and gives him the moniker Johnnystein. All of this is done to ensure the comfort of the other ghoulish guests, who wish to party and vacation human-free. This could be a fun near-Halloweentime flick. We'll keep you posted!
