Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
Hotel Transylvania: Transformania is a 2022 American animated monster horror comedy film directed by Derek Drymon and Jennifer Kluska and written by Amos Vernon, Nunzio Randazzo, and Genndy Tartakovsky. Produced by Sony Pictures Animation, it is the fourth installment in the Hotel Transylvania film franchise, and stars the voices of Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, Kathryn Hahn, Jim Gaffigan, Steve Buscemi, Molly Shannon, David Spade, Keegan-Michael Key, Brian Hull, Fran Drescher, Brad Abrell, Asher Blinkoff, Tyler "Ninja" Blevins and Zoe Berri. The film follows Dracula and his son-in-law Johnny as they travel to South America to locate a crystal that can reverse a transformation spell before its effects become permanent.
Originally scheduled for theatrical release in the United States on October 1, 2021, the film's release was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sony Pictures sold distribution rights to Amazon Studios for $100 million. The film was released on Amazon Prime Video on January 14, 2022, and received mixed reviews from critics. Originally intended to be the final film in the franchise, a fifth film, titled The Haunting of Hotel Transylvania, is scheduled to be released on October 8, 2027.
During Hotel Transylvania's 125th anniversary party, Dracula plans to retire and leave the hotel to his daughter Mavis and her husband Johnny. After overhearing the news, Johnny enthusiastically shares his renovation plans, prompting Drac to warn him about a “monster real-estate law” that prohibits humans from owning the hotel. Disheartened, Johnny accepts his exclusion.
Van Helsing offers to help by using a special ray that transforms humans into monsters and vice versa. Johnny becomes a dragon-like monster, but when Drac tries to reverse the transformation, he accidentally turns himself human and breaks the ray's crystal. Van Helsing instructs them to retrieve a replacement crystal from the Cave of the Reflexión in South America to undo the effects.
Meanwhile, Drac's friends Frank, Wayne, Griffin, and Murray are transformed into humans after drinking from a fountain that previously got exposed to the ray. Upon discovering them and seeing Drac and Johnny on the news, Mavis and Van Helsing's great granddaughter Ericka confront him. Van Helsing, however, reveals the ray's effects of turning humans into monsters are unstable and irreversible if not cured in time. They join the others in traveling to South America aboard Ericka's airship.
On their journey, Drac and Johnny grow closer, but tensions rise when Drac finally admits the truth, saying that the real-estate law was all a lie. Hurt and upset, Johnny mutates further into a giant monster and flees. Mavis finds him and leads him to the cave, but the crystal initially fails to reverse the transformation because Johnny is too feral, angry and unstable by this point. Luckily, Drac allowed Johnny to capture him and expresses his acceptance of Johnny as family. This calms Johnny down enough for him to regain control, and Mavis successfully restores him.
Everyone is returned to normal, but the hotel has been destroyed by Van Helsing's transformed pet guinea pig, Gigi. After reversing Gigi's transformation, Drac decides to pass on the keys to the hotel to Mavis and Johnny, encouraging them to rebuild it as they like. One year later, Hotel Transylvania is rebuilt with a few renovations, much to Drac's amusement.
In February 2019, Sony Pictures Animation announced that a fourth Hotel Transylvania film was in development. In October of that year, Genndy Tartakovsky confirmed that he would not return to direct. In September 2020, Jennifer Kluska and Derek Drymon were announced as directors. Kluska had worked as a storyboard artist on earlier sequels, while Drymon had previously worked on series such as Rocko's Modern Life, CatDog, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Adventure Time. Tartakovsky stayed on as screenwriter and executive producer, joined by Selena Gomez, who also voiced the character Mavis. Production was carried out remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
