Hotel Transylvania is a 2012 American Computer Animated Fantasy Comedy film produced by Sony Pictures Animation, and like more animated movies these days, it was also made in 3D. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (The creator of Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory), this would be his feature film debut (Kind of surprising really seeing how long he has worked in the animation industry). The film also features the voices of Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Fran Drescher, Steve Buscemi and David Spade.
In an effort to protect his beloved daughter and the other creatures of the night from humans, Dracula decides to construct a hotel to be used as a safe haven for monsters around the world. However when his daughter reaches the age of 118, she shares her wishes to explore the outside world much to her father's dismay, at the same time, to make matters worse, a human accidentally arrives at the hotel…
The outstanding aspect about the film's animation is how 2D animation aesthetics are blended into an otherwise typical 3D CGI animated film (That we have gotten so familiar with in the past years), the energy and exaggeration of 2D animation (Much like Tex Avery's works) is notable in several scenes.
Sure the film is pretty childish at times, but it was done so without being completely dumbed down for the younger audience, I think its nice to indulge in these types of animations once in awhile.
