![]() But here, he’s just falling back on old habits, even though he has more than enough reasons to trust Johnny and just go away with Erica. In the first film, and parts of the sequels, Dracula has always been an imperfect, if still genuinely loving father, driven by tragedy and a desire to keep his loved ones safe. *Even if I’d argue, no spoilers, the best jokes are back at the hotel with the zombie manservants and Van Helsing’s pet hamster. #JINGLE BELL ROCK SONG MEAN GIRLS MOVIE#In addition, while the Johnny/Dracula journey certainly plays into any number of road trip movie cliches, the jokes they get away with are solid. Particularly game is Samberg, who nails Johnny’s million-words-a-second tone, and his ever-growing monster transformation means new things are constantly being thrown at you. ![]() Speaking of the laughs, this movie knows it’s a comedy and I can totally see the humor playing to a fair number of audiences. Every walk, facial movement, and emotion still feels zanily vibrant, which allows for some of the comedy to shine through because of just how expressive every character is allowed to be. While it’s nice to see Tartakovsky’s style still at play, it’s good to see what co-directors Drymon and Kluska manage to do with the formula. The immediate thing I can praise about ‘Transformania’ is the animation which, rather surprisingly, hasn’t dipped in quality over the course of the trilogy. The only replacement for the machine is in the jungles of South America, so Johnny, Dracula and, eventually the whole team, journey across the world to fix themselves and, hopefully, settle Dracula’s doubts in the process. The experiment works, but in the process, Dracula and his monstrous cavalcade are turned into powerless humans. What’s Johnny to do but ask for help from the mad scientist, Van Helsing himself (voiced by Jim Gaffigan), whose latest inventions can turn any human into a monster. When Johnny confronts Dracula about this, the worried father-in-law lies and says there’s a real estate rule that only a monster can run the hotel. He hopes that his daughter Mavis (voiced by Selena Gomez) will be able to keep the hotel in good hands, but she overhears the news and believes that both she and her human husband, Johnny (voiced by Andy Samberg), will inherit it. All I know is that Jingle Bells sure isn't the wholesome song I remember from my youth.Īfter 125 years in the business, Dracula (voiced by Brian Hull) is looking to retire from running Hotel Transylvania to spend time with his new wife Erica Van Helsing (voiced by Kathryn Hahn). This psychotic verse seems to support kidnapping young girls, getting a "botailed bay" (this is apparently the name for a horse who's tail has been cut short) and making him go insanely fast, and then there's an ominous crack-is it a whip? Is it someone's skull? Who the heck knows. I mean, this poor horse!! "Misfortune seemed him lot / we got into a drifted bank / and then we got upsot?" Uhhh no one cares about what happens to the narrator and fricking Fanny, I want to know if the horse is okay? Did they leave the horse in the drifted bank? Did it die? I'm really concerned.Īnd don't even get me started on verse four. Watch the guys recreate “Jingle Bell Rock” below.Īnd re-live the glory of the original, here.Also, just looking past the whole Fanny thing, this verse masks some dark stuff under the cheery tune of the song. Which you’re just going to have to watch to see. The guys don’t miss any of the moves either, doing a spot-on recreation of this major dance move. ![]() It’s all here, even the moment when Gretchen screws everything up by kicking their stereo while trying to stop it from skipping. To Regina’s “cool mom” recording the dance in the audience– As the girls do their traditional, scantly-clad dance to the iconic Christmas song, “Jingle Bell Rock”, things start to go awry.Ī group of guys from Lava High School in Arkansas have now recreated that famous scene down to just about every last detail. ![]() ![]() But just in case you’re not familiar, the scene shows the movie’s protagonist, Caddy, gaining favor with Queen Bee Regina George (Rachel McAdams) just as her long-time confidante Gretchen Weiners (Lacy Chabert) finds her influence waning. If you’re reading this, chances are you remember the scene in 2004’s Mean Girls when Caddy (Lindsay Lohan) got invited to join the plastics for their annual performance of “Jingle Bell Rock” during their school’s Christmas talent show. ![]()
