What do you get when you put Count Dracula, Frankenstein's creature, The Mummy, and The Wolfman together? Well aside from a killer monster mash, you might just end up with Hotel Transylvania. This is the first feature film from animation icon Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Clone Wars). Dracula is the central figure here, an aging father dealing with his daughter growing up. Like most dads, Drac has a hard time letting go. His half-human daughter Mavis is turning 118 and dreams to see the human world, which means leaving the safety of home for the first time.
