Why people love it

Hotel Transylvania (2012) stuck because it commits to its animation premise without apologizing—viewers remember set pieces and momentum as much as plot. Genndy Tartakovsky's control of tone keeps the ride coherent. The animation and comedy blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
