Hotel Transylvania

Welcome to Hotel Transylvania, a majestic and extravagant haven nestled deep within the heart of the forest, where creatures of the night can revel in their monster-ous splendor without fear of judgment or persecution. Dracula, the infamous vampire lord, has spared no expense in creating this luxurious getaway, a place where he can let his guard down and be himself, surrounded by like-minded friends who understand the perils and privileges of immortality. This exclusive resort caters to the most discerning monsters, providing a tranquil and protected environment where they can live life to the fullest, away from the prying eyes and terrified screams of humanity. As the sun sets on a crisp autumn evening, Hotel Transylvania transforms into a vibrant celebration of all things monstrous. The creatures of the night gather to toast Dracula's beloved daughter, Mavis, on her 118th birthday – a remarkable milestone for any mortal, let alone a vampire. With a reputation for being one of the most unforgettable parties in the monster kingdom, Dracula has roped in an A-list of his closest friends, all vying for a spot at the reception. Frankenstein's monster, the lovable but lumbering giant, is busy in the kitchen, whipping up a culinary storm with his infectious enthusiasm. The Invisible Man, a sly and suave trickster, is regaling the guests with hilariously terrible jokes, always more 'invisible' with each subsequent rendition. Even the legendary werewolves, siblings Drac and Eunice, have flown in from Transylvania's mist-shrouded forests to join the fun. With so many legendary monsters in attendance, it seems that nothing can possibly go awry. Enter Jonathan, a pleasant and rather dim-witted young tour guide from the nearby human town. Jonathan's picture-perfect smile and daredevil spirit do little to shield him from the monsters at play within Hotel Transylvania's walls. Inadvertently stumbling upon the secret resort while on a 'hike,' Jonathan unwittingly defies the primary rule of the hotel: that humans are strictly forbidden from setting foot within its hallowed halls. Little does he know, this chance stumble will ignite a chain reaction of unpredictable and extraordinary events that threaten to shatter the very foundations of Dracula's cherished sanctuary. Upon his arrival, Dracula swiftly recognizes the break in hotel protocol and summons his trusty henchmen – the hilariously loud and slobby, gym-loving, werewolf henchmen named Griffin and Wayne, more comedy relief added with their scenes bursting with well paced antics that capture that perfect weird tone Dracula wants his hotel to feel like. To the initial dismay of Dracula's posse, the tour guide proceeds to innocently blend in with the monstrous revelers, displaying a bewildered but uncomplaining attitude that would make even the most seasoned among them proud. Unbeknownst to Jonathan, however, he has caught the eye of the birthday girl, the enchanting Mavis herself. The moment these two encounter ensues an enchanting whirlwind of curiosity and enchantment which quickly rewrites the entire Hotel Transylvania rulebook. The potential consequences? Jonathan's unexpected presence will turn out to shatter the decades-long tradition of no humans allowed at the Hotel. As the sun slowly dips below the horizon, Jonathan, unaware of the enormous consequences of his presence, continues to experience the carefree freedom that Hotel Transylvania offers its monstrous patrons. Under the tutelage of Dracula and with Mavis by his side, he learns more about what it truly means to be a creature of the night. He discovers an insider's look into the fantastical world of monsters, experiencing wonders he could have never previously imagined. As Mavis shows Jonathan around the hotel, their bond fortifies with each ever-lasting memorable, laughter-filled moment, turning their chance encounter into a relationship so deep she'd have to ask permission to leave it. However, not everyone at the hotel shares the idea of allowing humans and monsters to mix. This very divergence of opinion turns out to challenge one strong element – Dracula's sense of protectiveness towards a daughter who, much like her father, harbors a dark heritage to take control of her very existence. His anxiety peaks – concern for her protection starts to battle out against this internal moral debate; allow humans into the sanctuary and risk losing forever what is rightfully hers or keep his secret safe and turn his world upside down. As a string of precarious complications arises due to the unexpected human's unexpected strolls through the hotel's grand halls and the sudden passion brewing between Mavis and Jonathan sparks and erupts into endless chaos – does the monstrous sanctuary's great leader possess the heart to abide by a brave decision that could potentially bring warmth and inclusiveness to the castle?
