Whether that be his daughter, his grandson, son-in-law or friends, I do like the core dynamic and the series has always emphasized that connection. But, at the same time, I do like the film's strong core of the connection between Dracula and the people closest to him. And, you know what, to their credit, they've made it work now for three straight movies. They're fairly one-dimensional in their approach, it's all about the slapstick, the colorful worlds and the overall silliness.

The narratives in these movies don't go as deep or explore interesting themes like Coco, Inside Out and the How To Train Your Dragon series. This has always been meant as something more of a diversion, something that you watch, have a laugh with and move on. Let's be honest, as consistently entertaining as this series has been, it's not really gonna compete with any of the major offerings from Pixar or DreamWorks.

I feel like that might sound a little condescending towards this franchise and the people that work on it. I sort of laughed at the notion that I have refined tastes and I mentioned that I liked both Hotel Transylvania movies (this was before this one's release). I remember talking to a friend about movies and what we respectively enjoy whatnot and she mentioned that I have refined tastes. And yet, even with Sandler's presence and the presences of a couple of his buddies, I've always enjoyed the Hotel Transylvania movies. Andy Samberg and Steve Buscemi, also Sandler regulars (semi-regular in the case of Samberg) are both incredibly talented, so I don't count them. Regardless, the point I'm trying to make is that Hotel Transylvania is, for all intents and purposes, very much a Sandler movie, where he gets his untalented buddies, Kevin James and David Spade, a paycheck. I mean his character, not Sandler for real, as much as I disdain him for most of his output. Would be an interesting twist to say the least if in, say, the next Sandler travesty, all of his previous families confronted him and killed him off for good. He just moves on to a new family once he's bored of the old one. God, the last word of the previous sentence got me thinking about what if all of Adam Sandler's live-action films take place in the same universe and his character is just kind of like Terry O'Quinn in The Stepfather, except less stabby and murdery. The Hotel Transylvania franchise exists in a very interesting place in the Sandlerverse.
