The top Genndy joints are Samurai Jack and Primal. Hotel Transylvania is _not_ a Genndy joint though. He was hired as an animator, and it's very clear (his specific energy is all over this animation), but he didn't write it or anything.
I amazing how this movie is able to shift from hilarious to heartfelt and back again and still have it all feel natural. Sad how the sequels decided to take a more comedic approach (which weren't even funny) while the first movie was genuinely heartfelt.
This movie is so funny and heartwarming, and a total love letter to the Universal Monsterverse. Everyone's voice performance in this is very good. Especially Dracula, able to go from hilarious to heartfelt in an instant.
@@felix3033 I liked the second one as well, I just felt that in comparison to the first one, it was more comedic. It is sad to see how everything past the second one just… sucked in my opinion. Wording it better, it couldn’t reach the same heights as the first one or second one.
As someone who worked at the front desk of hotels for almost 20 years, the scene where all the monsters are yelling at the poor zombii at the front desk after everyone knew jonathan was a human - I can relate hahaha
They didn't understand that in that universe Zing is considered pretty much binding. It is not something that can be socially reengineered and ignored. Magic is the thing in the universe.
Exactly. Those are the rules of the monster universe. Not everything needs 'modern sensibilities'. Also who says they can't explore the world and travel as a married couple.
Jonathan is a character that had the potential to be extremely annoying, granted he was mildly annoying to me personally, he had a childlike sense of wonder and charm that made him relatable.
And he was so actually cool, like yeah he's got like 10 braincells but he uses those braincells for what he believes is right. As much as "he just rolls" is a joke, he really does, it takes him like 10 minutes to acclimate to "ok monsters are real" and subsequently "monsters are pretty chill" and sure he's ignorant but they've been hiding for god knows how long so the stereotypes are all he knows, but once he gets corrected and he just fixes his behavior, no muss or fight just "oh that's not right? Cool got it!" And that's the end! He even shows a level of emotional intelligence in him not actually wanting to kiss Mavis and rejecting her all because he respects drac and his pain. And while that in the end was the wrong decision it came from a place of empathy.
The first and second movie are my absolute favorites of the series. Love the third and fourth personally, but i felt the most attatched to the first two movies.
I love the fact that this is a very kinetic movie. There are very few scenes where things are completely still, yet it doesn't feel cluttered or overly busy. They hit the sweet spot.
Ah, I've missed this duo!! This movie is so much better than I originally thought when it was released - it's spooky fun with a great voice-over cast. It's def. putting me in the mood for Halloween! :)
I always thought that it depends on what kind of garlic products he consumes. Like garlic oil makes him gassy and garlic cloves or powder makes his throat swell. Does that make sense? It's just a headcanon I thought of.
I still remember when I first watched this. I was in kindergarten when this came out and my elementary school had move nights several times a year. I distinctly remember sitting in that gym eating popcorn with all my new friends while we were all in our sleeping bags. This movie always reminds me of simpler times.
I don't see any sequel reactions, but you really should watch 2 and 3! They move the story along so smoothly and it's amazing to see the life of Dracula and Mavis continue.

I'm still coming to terms with the fact that the VA who voiced Johnny in this, is the SAME EXACT VA who's going to voice Scarlet-Spider in Across the Spider-Verse! 🤯
I’ve always loved this film, the sequels aren’t as good as many also believe, but the story still stands as a beautiful one. Also I’ll never get over how many people thirsted after the invisible man and then when they found out what he looks like when not invisible they were horrified because he wasn’t hot 💀 Like that shit had me gasping for air I was laughing so hard 😂
Though aging single guys, like myself, may not be the target audience of Hotel Transylvania - the series still appeals to the boyish and creative side of me - and remains one of my Tartakovsky favorites. - With current days sensibilities, when comes to relationships portrayed in movies and series - animated or otherwise - I dare say the 'old approach' should not be entirely dismissed. Though not something one should pursue exclusively, it should still not be considered less aspirational. Even I if I have had less success relationship wise, I still believe the 'love at first sight' trope occasionally has its merit in family entertainment. After all - Love at first sight - does not always mean the first person you encounter, but - the first time you encounter 'someone special'.
I love this franchise!!! so glad you guys enjoyed it as well, it’s everything you would want from a film like this? hope you guys react to the rest of the films
I love the whole series, in the beginning was like "eh just another comedy cartoon about movie monsters" But as it was surprisingly good kept Waiting and anticipating for each one, 4th film already and still as funny and full of heart still, rare for sequels to be just as funny 😁
It's really funny when people call traditional story of falling in love 'cringe'. Somehow you can't get a true love in short time so nobody else can't either.
Fun Fact: Adam Sandler plays Dracula in Movies 1-3 but the 4th is different than the first three Brian Hull who is a RUclipsr and Voice Actor was hired to play Dracula for Adam Sandler’s replacement
I like the 1 and 2, 3 is already a little eh imo, but the 4th is.... Not good. Again, my opinion. But this first one is AMAZING. Fran Drescher is in the cast and I love her voice, it's so iconic.
I actually like 2 and 3. They’re just a fun time. I haven’t seen 4 tho, that doesn’t have Adam Sandler or Kevin James so I’m probably not ever gonna watch it

Hell yes you should!
The Love Bug 1968, Walking with Dinosaurs The Movie 2013, Looney Tunes Back In Action 2003, Angry Birds 2016, Pixels 2015
The sequels were as good or even better than the first. 😊
Yes, the 2nd one is just as good as the first one if not better. But the 3rd one is … it’s okay I guess

I like the second one quite a bit but after that I totally agree
@@milzz8844 It is as good or even slightly better.
The 2nd one was heartfelt & comedic as well. Wym? Th whole dilemma with Dracula & accepting his grandson
Vlad
This movie is so funny and heartwarming, and a total love letter to the Universal Monsterverse. Everyone's voice performance in this is very good. Especially Dracula, able to go from hilarious to heartfelt in an instant.
I really hope you guys watch the sequels. Not everyone loved them as much as the original, but im a guy that appreciates a story as a whole.
I loved the second one

Yeah, but there is story and there is a bad cash grab.
The 4th one was pure garbage.
true 2nd one is awsome 3rd is ok and 4th not so good
Ironic how Adam Sandler did a phenomenal job voicing Dracula 😂
what's the irony ?
In latin america he was dubbed by the same actor who dubbed Dan Povenmire's Dr Doofenshmirtz and that's just iconic

Like Jacob from Twilight imprinting as a wolf.

Andy Samberg special
"legal bat lady turning 118" thats legitimately so funny
The first and second movie are my absolute favorites of the series. Love the third and fourth personally, but i felt the most attatched to the first two movies.
I'm happy to see someone else like all of the movies.
Same
I love the fact that this is a very kinetic movie. There are very few scenes where things are completely still, yet it doesn't feel cluttered or overly busy.
They hit the sweet spot.
This movie was an instant halloween classic.
This is honestly a fun kids movie if nothing else, whatever people may think of the other movies this one was genuinely exceptional
This is one of those movies that was very underrated I still love it to this day
Ah, I've missed this duo!! This movie is so much better than I originally thought when it was released - it's spooky fun with a great voice-over cast. It's def. putting me in the mood for Halloween! :)
Can’t wait for Halloween. Also, Tara is so fun and super nice.
Baby John saying the word Zing is prophetic😅.
My boyfriend is obsessed with these movies. He jumped in excitement when I suggested we watch it together lmfao
The Bride of Frankenstein('s monster) is played by Fran Dresher from The Nanny.
The garlic thing changes in 3rd movie. Instead of it causing Dracula's throat to swell, it causes him to fart.
I always thought that it depends on what kind of garlic products he consumes. Like garlic oil makes him gassy and garlic cloves or powder makes his throat swell. Does that make sense? It's just a headcanon I thought of.
Adam Sandler is fantastic in this, same with Selena Gomez.
LOL Love this series of Hotel Transylvania, I hope ypu do the rest of them. Love your reaction.
I still remember when I first watched this. I was in kindergarten when this came out and my elementary school had move nights several times a year. I distinctly remember sitting in that gym eating popcorn with all my new friends while we were all in our sleeping bags. This movie always reminds me of simpler times.
Knowing who the director is got me excited as well.
I had to come here re-watch this reaction before watching their reaction to the second one, that they released today here in RUclips. 😄
I don't see any sequel reactions, but you really should watch 2 and 3! They move the story along so smoothly and it's amazing to see the life of Dracula and Mavis continue.
I fucking lost it when I heard Fran’s voice out of Mrs. Frankenstein. I used to watch her nanny show on Nick at Night
That final song, I was obsessed with it as a kid
The director of this movie is the same man that created Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory
I think the pitchfork scene is outdated for a reason cause it shows how detached Drac is from the world.
Out of all the movies you could’ve reacted to, I did not expect this one
As a single dad of 3 amazing daughters that are my everything , I feel this movie on another level. 💜💜💜 love it!
The next one is jsut as great !
I love this trilogy. Haven’t seen 4 since it’s an amazon prime exclusive.
i always figured the wife of Frankenstein dressed like fran fine from "the nanny" since she's played by fran drescher

This is the first time I've seen Adam Sandler in a somewhat serious role.
I watched this before its release at the Ottawa Film Festival and I still remember how loudly the audience shrieked at thr Twilight reference 🤣
Considering that we’re halfway to Halloween I think it’s great to get a little spooky early
As a fluffy red headed autistic boy named Jonathan, I think it’s very unfair I don’t have a Mavis in my life
I'm still coming to terms with the fact that the VA who voiced Johnny in this, is the SAME EXACT VA who's going to voice Scarlet-Spider in Across the Spider-Verse! 🤯

The only RUclips channel that react to straight fire everytime I see y’all upload a video😂 🔥
"Frankenhooker"! 🤣🤣🤣 That's a great film idea, Guys! ❤ You guys should definitely look into that, if it hasn't already been done. Awesome reaction!❤

God I love hotel Transilvania
I love the whole series, in the beginning was like "eh just another comedy cartoon about movie monsters"
But as it was surprisingly good kept Waiting and anticipating for each one, 4th film already and still as funny and full of heart still, rare for sequels to be just as funny 😁
They took it off of Netflix a week ago! IM SO MMAADDD!!!! 😤😤
When i first watched this movie when it came out, i thought I was going to be bored to tears but i fell in love with it😂
the pouty bat face gets me every time. so freaking cute!!!!!!
I was just thinking about this one yesterday! It's destiny!
It's really funny when people call traditional story of falling in love 'cringe'. Somehow you can't get a true love in short time so nobody else can't either.
I ❤ reactions with John and Tara!!!!
I just noticed the scream of the guy with one eye when it gets revealed Johnny is a human sounds like peppino ftom pizza tower
Hotel Transylvania is an adorable family movie. The series is up with Shrek, HTTYD, Kung Fu Panda
I Love how Quasimodo is a monster cause he's french.
This film was brilliant because I like Johnny with music I was funny
Yayyy Tara is so fun in this channel ❤
I love Tara on the channel 😄
Yesss Yesss my two favorite peeps I love u guys😂😂😂

I love this movie that's very funny 😂😂😂😂
Yay Tara is back.

Uh…not really
I agree! The 3rd one is my favorite ❤
Not really but still like the ones I have seen and worth for them to watch

Think the first two are the only pretty good ones until 3 and 4 dropped the ball.
Rewatching this and STILL waiting for the next movie reaction
You should watch Hotel Transylvania 2 and 3 soon🙂 .
Umm excuse me Tara is gorgeous???
Got confused for a second there

I like the 1 and 2, 3 is already a little eh imo, but the 4th is.... Not good. Again, my opinion. But this first one is AMAZING. Fran Drescher is in the cast and I love her voice, it's so iconic.
She's back
I actually like 2 and 3. They’re just a fun time. I haven’t seen 4 tho, that doesn’t have Adam Sandler or Kevin James so I’m probably not ever gonna watch it
Love your reactions. Please do Mulan. Very funny movie
i hope you do the rrst of the movies.. love this franchise
I love the second movie a lot ❤ definitely need to watch it !!!
Mrs Frankenstein is voiced by Fran Dressher, who if you look back at her career has always warn those loud, gaudy, bright colored outfits
You should watch the sequels. 😃
Awesome movie 🔥
