a time when vampires are associated with drivel like `Twilight`, it`s always wonderful to get back to the Count- the traditional vampire who started off this entire vamp-mania.
The legendary Count Dracula has been portrayed in many different forms: the traditional scary one, the comic and clumsy version who`s "dead and loving it" and now he`s in animated 3D.
With `Hotel Transylvania`, not only does Dracula take on a fascinatingly vulnerable form, but he`s also shown as a doting father, a loving husband to his late wife and, in a rather unique twist, a hotel manager for a castle meant only for monsters, a haven where they can stay `safe` from human beings.
The movie begins with the adolescent troubles of Mavis, Dracula`s young (in `relative` terms) daughter who`s about to turn 118 and wishes to go out and explore the world, meet humans and `live her life`. The Count, on his part, harbours a fear of humans and believes his precious "Devilchops" would be prodded with pitch-forks and burnt to death by the humans, a fear that most monsters seem to hold.
