Short description

Welcome to Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up and no humans are allowed. One special weekend, Dracula has invited all his best friends to celebrate his beloved daughter Mavis's 118th birthday. For Dracula catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem but the party really starts when one ordinary guy stumbles into the hotel and changes everything!

What's left behind the scenes

The hotel address is: Romania, Umbre, Transylvania Street, house 666 (it can be seen on the back of the guidebooks that Dracula gives to guests).
The microphone at Mavis's party is exactly the same as the one in the Oscar®-winning short film Chubb Chubs (2002). Sony Pictures Animation released the short film 10 years ago.
A dishwashing sponge was used as the basis for creating Eunice's voluminous hairstyle.
Andy Samberg co-wrote and performed the song «Sweet 118». He recorded it in his Saturday Night Live studio office and played it over the phone to Michelle Murdocca during a conversation.
Wayne's watch doesn't actually show the time, but the phases of the moon.
Among the decorations on Mavis's room wall is a poster featuring a girl who strongly resembles Selena Gomez, who voices her.
Andy Samberg co-wrote and performed the song "Sweet 118." He recorded it in his Saturday Night Live office and played it for Michelle Murdocca over the phone during a conversation.
The artists were inspired by a similar technique used to create Arthur's sweater in the animated film *Santa Claus' Secret Service* (2011) when creating the technology for "knitting" sweaters for George and Gina's gremlins.
