Hotel Transylvania - Trailer 2

^ This film features the directive talent of Genndy Tartakovsky, as a side note. So what do you all think?

haha man i forgot about epic. i remember first hearing about it and thinking , 'what a stupid name for a movie'. it still sounds stupid. looks mildly interesting though.

i have not however heard of rise of the guardians. i like the idea behind it, but jack frost's character is... well i dunno for being around so long and looking like an american pop star tweeny boy i think is dumb. but the villain sure seems cool.

and i have been looking forward to hotel translyvania ever since it was announced that genndy was going to be behind it. not only that, but he has 2 more film deals with sony after this, the 3rd being his own original idea. he's going to make some great movies, and this one will also be great, i have no doubt about it.

I'm in the middle with the trailer for Epic. Seems kind of like it has an influence of Fern Gully and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. Looks to be an animated film with a more serious tone, but I'm not so sure at this point.

Rise of the Guardians actually looked kind of silly to me at first, but I saw a trailer for that a long time ago, didn't appeal to me much then. Jack Frost sort of looks like the kid from Bastion, at least his face does. The concept is a bit more clear to me now, and I'd most likely watch it! Although, why Santa is Russian, I'm not sure.

I'm looking forward to Hotel Transylvania. I think it plays well to Adam Sandler's strengths. :o

as long as i don't have to look at his stupid face

[ZekeySpaceyLizard]

They should have kept calling it The Leafmen.


EPiC is such a shit title I can feel the peristalsis in my colon every time I read it.

welp

i saw hotel transylvania today

and it makes me very sad to announce that it is indeed as bad as the critics say it is

i know genndy didn't have complete control over this film and it's pretty obvious - it's riddled with celebrity VO's who probably got to get their filthy hands on the screenplay which to be honest was probably already bad. you can tell when adam sandler's stupid toilet humor comes in , or pathetic attempts at masked "adult" humor to entertain the parents, while the kid humor is ultra hyper and starts to get annoying quickly.

the character designs and animation are great, and it's fun for about the first 20 minutes.. but then you get the idea and it just drags on for quite a while. there are moments of brilliance but they quickly fade away.

and then it ends with monsters singing LMFAO and dracula rapping.

I never understood the connection between dance/pop music and 3D animation.

It's something the commoners can relate to.

and producers think it's the main reason kids will go see it , same reason they hire celebrities instead of VA's to do the voices.

I actually ended up seeing Hotel Transylvania last week. It's a pretty alright 3D movie, Genndy really salvaged it. The story is so-so, but the animation is really interesting! The silhouettes of the characters and their timing is really fun to look at. I didn't expect to care too much for the story and kind of phased out at some point just to pay attention to the animation throughout. Although, some of it gets a little manic at times, there's a lot of not too awful things joke wise in the movie. Also the ending obligatory-cuz-its-3D-gais!-dancing/rapping sequence was admittedly painless and short enough for me not to mind it too much. So yeah, I'd be willing to see it again just to watch the animation. Also, saw it 2D cuz fuck wasting money on 3D. Actually, there was a pretty impressive depth of field already in the 2D version so I don't feel I missed enough to spend an extra $5.

P.S. Neither Adam Sandler or even Selena Gomez were that bad voicing their characters.

P.P.S. Fun traditionally animated ending credits PLUS shit-tons of concept art as the backdrops for the credits.

the animation was the only good part of hotel transylvania
