About

Hotel Transylvania is Sony Pictures Animation's flagship animated comedy franchise that transforms classic monsters into lovable, relatable family characters. Centred on Count Dracula's lavish resort where monsters escape human persecution, the property has evolved from a 2012 feature into a global multimedia empire spanning four theatrical films, television, theme park attractions, and countless consumer products. With over $1.3 billion in worldwide box office revenue and a fifth film now in development, Hotel Transylvania commands exceptional loyalty across family audiences and represents one of the few non-Disney animated franchises with sustained, multi-generational staying power.
