'Hotel Transylvania: Transformania'— release date, cast, plot, and everything we know (2024)

Prepare to sink your fangs into Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, the fourth installment of the popular Hotel Transylvania franchise.

Our favorite monsters are back for an all-new exciting adventure, which presents Drac with his most horrifying task yet— but will the gang manage to race against time and complete their mission?

This vivid and lively animation became a huge hit with audiences after the first film’s release in 2012 and has an all-star voice cast returning to this upcoming installment. Sadly, Adam Sandler won’t be back to voice the iconic Drac, who he played in the first three films, and will instead be voiced by Brian Hull.

Playing on some of our best-loved monster myths once again, Sony Pictures has revealed the plot: “When Van Helsing’s mysterious invention, the 'Monsterfication Ray,’ goes haywire, Drac and his monster pals are all transformed into humans, and Johnny becomes a monster!

"In their new mismatched bodies, Drac, stripped of his powers, and an exuberant Johnny, loving life as a monster, must team up and race across the globe to find a cure before it’s too late, and before they drive each other crazy. With help from Mavis and the hilariously human Drac Pack, the heat is on to find a way to switch themselves back before their transformations become permanent."

Is there a trailer?

Yes! You can watch the trailer below, where we see the monsters turn into humans using Van Helsing’s Monsterfication Ray! Unfortunately, they all hate their new transformations, so they go on a mission to turn themselves back to how they were.
