Hotel Transylvania

As I love both Halloween AND cartoons, I had high expectations for this movie.  I left feeling a little disappointed.

I'd only seen a couple of previews, and hadn't looked up the cast, but pretty early on I realized that the voice of Dracula was totally Adam Sandler, and then I couldn't stop HEARING/SEEING Adam Sandler.  It ended up being distracting, and sometimes obnoxious.

That being said, this movie had cute moments, and several laugh-out-loud funny ones, but it still relied far too much on fart jokes (seriously, within the first 5 minutes!)  Apparently kids these days aren't savvy and still love fart jokes.  I put this cartoon solidly in the middle of the pack.  I was mostly entertained and didn't hate it, but it had the potential to be so much better.
