This is Dracula’s daughter?
Hotel Transylvania, perhaps to the surprise of some viewers, is a daddy-daughter tale where the worst thing that can happen to Dracula’s (who sounds like Adam Sandler) little ghoul does. On her 118th birthday, Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez) falls in love with a human! Adding to the hilarity. she falls in love in front of some of Dracula’s best friends including Frankenstein (voiced by Kevin James) and the Mummy, his wife (voiced by Ceel-lo), the Invisible Man (voiced by David Spade) , the Werewolf family and more.
Catering to these legendary monsters is what Hotel Transylvania is famous for. It’s the one place where monsters and their families can live it up and be the monsters they are without human interference.
