Screenit van helsing1/9/2024 The film features several monsters, which might be frightening for younger viewers. And once Dracula takes the time to get to know Johnny and understand where he is coming from, he realizes that his son-in-law might not just be good for Mavis but for their family and the hotel as well. True, Johnny’s antics are often ill-advised. (Truth be told, Drac probably would have preferred his baby Mavis never married.) However, just because Johnny isn’t everything Drac dreamed of, that doesn’t mean he isn’t a good fit for Mavis. Johnny is not the son-in-law that Dracula would have picked. If there’s one lesson the Hotel Transylvania saga has given us, it’s the importance and endurance of family, even when that family sometimes falls short of your expectations. Various subplots emphasize the goodness of marriage and family. And some even risk their lives to save each other. And though they are forgiven for their deceptions, it becomes clear that if they’d been truthful from the beginning, they could have found resolutions much quicker-an important lesson for young viewers.įriends and family put their lives on hold to help each other out. Several adult characters take on the childish strategy of “lie until I can fix it, so nobody finds out.” This doesn’t work. Eventually, the father and son-in-law reconcile their differences, apologizing for their wrongs toward each other. And even though Drac may not love every characteristic of his son-in-law, he realizes that by choosing to only see the bad in Johnny, he was missing out on Johnny’s best qualities (like his kindness). She wouldn’t change a thing about her husband. However, Dracula sees that Mavis loves Johnny just as he is. ![]() If Drac had his druthers, he’d change quite a few things about his boisterous son-in-law. (And no way are they gonna stop Mavis from finding out about this one.)ĭracula and Johnny obviously don’t see eye to eye. Because the longer Johnny stays a monster, the more beastly he becomes. ![]() So, what does can-do, never-give-up, always-optimistic Johnny do? He seeks out a way to transform himself into a monster using a device created by Dracula’s own great-grandfather-in-law, Abraham Van Helsing.Īfter transforming Johnny into a terrifying beastie, the device inadvertently turns Dracula into a human. Understandably, Mavis and Johnny are devastated.Īnd thanks to a lie told by Dracula to Johnny (who never felt like Drac truly accepted him into the family), Johnny’s under the belief that Drac can’t transfer the hotel to them because Johnny is human. So instead of giving them the hotel at its 125 th anniversary celebration, Drac announces he’s expanding the hotel instead. “I’m dizzy with hospitality creativity,” Johnny exclaims.īut while those dizzying ideas thrill Mavis, they make Dracula positively sick. Well, Johnny too, technically, since he’s Mavis’ husband. So great, in fact, that old vamp gramp Drac is finally ready to retire and pass the hotel over to his daughter, Mavis. ![]() Things are going great at Hotel Transylvania.
