With its Indiana Jones-style adventure, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania combines monster powers lost and found (love those innumerable wolf cubs), pure joyous silliness, and surprisingly touching insights into family relationships. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesTracy BrownJan 16, 2022
“Transformania” delivers what most viewers would expect from a “Hotel Transylvania” film: frenetic energy, physical comedy and Dracula learning another lesson about acceptance. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeJan 10, 2022
Transformania remains sufficiently goofy-sweet to please its target demo; those who find the humor toothless should at least appreciate the distinctive animation, which can be as energetically wacky as classic Looney Tunes. Read full review

The PlaylistAsher LubertoJan 27, 2022
The pleasures of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania are both visual and script-based, as they revolve around the writers’ ability to come up with more fish-out-of-water material. Read full review

It’s heartening to see a big-ticket cartoon franchise end with the animation as its true star. Read full review

Screen RantDebopriyaa DuttaJan 10, 2022
Genuinely fun and touching in parts, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania casts familiar characters in new molds, adding more heart to the franchise. Read full review

TheWrapSimon AbramsJan 10, 2022
While many of the jokes in Hotel Transylvania: Transformania probably won’t linger in your mind, they are still fairly well-executed. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriJan 16, 2022
While there aren’t any genuine belly laughs in the new movie, there are plenty of modestly likable, chucklesome ones. That ain’t nothing in this terrible, terrible world. Read full review

The New York TimesNicolas RapoldJan 13, 2022
Despite some flourishes (such as a mirror-like crystal cave), “Transformania” feels locked into the routine rhythms of its plotting and makes one-note jokes out of its human incarnations. Read full review

SlashfilmJosh SpiegelJan 10, 2022
If there is anything new to this film, it's the sense that the series is self-aware enough to understand that it's time to wrap up. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerJan 12, 2022
It’s a fittingly mediocre end to a franchise that has always been OK with being average. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJan 14, 2022
After four films and a TV series, maybe it’s time to mothball this Hotel for a bit. Read full review

VarietyTomris LafflyJan 10, 2022
The result is yet another wearisome tale that inelegantly depicts themes like acceptance, understanding and diversity within a saga that has always been rather clumsy with its messaging around such weighty topics. Read full review

The Associated PressLindsey BahrJan 11, 2022
It’s hard to overstate just how garish and frenetic this whole endeavor is. Even with the explosion of colors it still strains to hold interest. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawJan 10, 2022
Cue all sorts of strangely tired, laugh-free goofiness, with none of the funny lines and wit that come as standard with Pixar/Disney films. I guess it would pacify very young children. Read full review
