After years of being busy with the hotel business, Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez) thinks it's time her father, Count Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler) join her, her husband, Johnny (voiced by Andy Samberg), and the rest of their friends on a monster cruise. Drac begins falling in love with the ship's captain, Ericka (voiced by Kathryn Hahn). Unfortunately for and unbeknownst to him, Ericka is continuing the legacy of killing monsters for her great-grandfather, old enemy Abraham Van Helsing (voiced by Jim Gaffigan). It's going to take all of the Drac Pack to save the famed vampire hotelier, before he ends up dying for love, literally.
Overall, I liked the film. What Sandler and his frequent collaborators lack in live-action, they make up for in computer-animation. Audiences will sense a lot more ambition in their voice acting for fun- loving, adventure-seeking monsters or humans. It was also great bringing Hahn, Gaffigan, the radiant Chrissy Teigen, and rocking Joe Jonas aboard the team. Some of the film's hilarity wouldn't have been more accentuated without musical scoring by Mark Mothersbaugh, and with songs by Jonas, Bruno Mars, and classics from the 60's-80's. Then, there's the animation that was very colorful and sparkling to highlight the marvels of the cruise and moments of action.
Tartakovsky should get an Annie Award for this. This film's is a great parody of Universal Monster characters. I think this is the director's best work since his work with Cartoon Network. Hotel Translyvania 3: Summer Vacation is wacky, crazy, and fun for the whole family. Maybe there, people can see a cool vacation from an animated point of view.
