Came on time and is a great movie

Was a bit cautious about watching this with my 2 and 4 year old girls but a friend recommended it and I'm so glad we did. It is very funny, great characters and lovely storyline.Dracula has built a Hotel (as per the title) to allow monsters to have a holiday safely away from humans (they are scared of humans in a slightly Monsters Inc style). He is a very overprotective dad to his daughter Mavis, who is about to her her 118th birthday ("I'm 118 not 83" - I could so relate with a teenage daughter myself). Drac promised her that on this birthday she could go out of the hotel to see what humans are really like and suggests she goes to the nearest village. She does and meets the zombies dressed up as humans who do their best to be awful to her and home she goes (of course this has all been set up by Drac and the village is only pretend). Unbeknown to them though, a young explorer follows the Zombies back and ends up arriving at Hotel Transylvania.Drac ends up having to disguise him as a distant cousin of Frankenstein's right arm and naturally, Mavis falls for him. A touching scene when the truth about Dracula's family emerges had us all with quivering chins. However, Drac wants him out of the castle as he feels his influence is bad (everyone is suddenly having a really good time) and he reluctantly leaves but then Drac realises that his daughter has experienced her first 'zing' of love and he has to get him back. That's when they find out that the town and people really do think that the monsters are cool as the humans help Drac. The 118th party takes place with a super song of which the Drac Rap is the highlight.If you're unsure about this for your little ones, sit with them as when Drac gets angry he goes red and shows his fangs which made mine jump a little bit the first time but by the 2nd viewing, they just laughed. Highly recommended.

I watched this when it was released and it is easily one of my favourite children's films but my son had always been too young until now to watch it and he loves it. The film has been on a near constant loop on our DVD player for at least a week and thankfully with the release of Hotel Transylvania 2 my son is now happily obsessively watching that for a change!The film run time is approximately 1 hour 30 mins and this DVD is one disc. There are also special features on the disc:-Goodnight Mr Foot Mini MovieProblem (Monster Remix) music video and behind the scenesDeleted ScenesFilmmakers' commentaryDVD-ROM link to fun games - Please note this does not work at all and takes you to a discontinued page on the Sony website and so it appears this feature link has been stopped by SonyI'm sure most people know the premise of the movie by now but it's basically about a hotel run for monsters only with no access to those terrible humans who hunt and persecute monsters. Dracula built Hotel Transylvania as a sanctuary for monsters after he lost his wife to a pitchfork wielding mob. Dracula's daughter Mavis is soon to turn 118 and so he has invited all of the monsters including his friends Frankenstein, The Mummy, The Invisible Man and The Werewolf to a special party for her. Unfortunately a human backpacker stumbles upon the hotel with hilarious consequences when Dracula has to hide his real identity from the other monsters to prevent an all out panic that there is a scary human in their sanctuary!The film is really funny and the storyline is brilliant and well thought out. Thankfully there aren't really any scary parts in the film and so this should be suitable for most children and my son and younger daughter both love watching this film.
