Synopsis
Welcome to Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's (Adam Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free to be the monsters they are without humans to bother them. But there is one tiny detail about Dracula one has to know: he's not just the Prince of Shadows, he is also a dad. An overprotective father for his daughter, Mavis, for whom he displays complicated stories of dangers in order to dissuade his daughter's adventurous spirit. On one special weekend, Dracula has invited some of the world's most famous monsters--Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more--to celebrate his daughter Mavis's 118th birthday. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem--but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.
