Dracula

In 1895, a mob of humans kills Dracula's wife, Martha. He builds a monsters-only hotel in Transylvania and raises his daughter Mavis there, far from humans. The hotel becomes a refuge for Frankenstein, the werewolves, the Invisible Man and the Mummy, who vacation there.

On the eve of Mavis's 118th birthday, Dracula stages a fake outing with zombies dressed as humans to scare her. It works, but it also draws a human, the backpacker Johnny, to the hotel. Dracula disguises him as Frank's cousin, Johnnystein, and says he is a party planner. The monsters adore him, and Dracula burns with jealousy.

When Dracula sees that Mavis and Johnny like each other, he loses his temper and exposes the lie in front of the guests. Mavis is hurt, and her father learns what Martha wrote in a gift. He sets out with his friends after Johnny, chases the plane in bat form and apologizes. He approves of the match.

Johnny and Mavis marry, and grandson Dennis is nearly five without showing fangs. Dracula fears the boy isn't a vampire. While the parents travel, he turns babysitter and takes Dennis to the camp where he spent his youth, trying to prove he is a vampire.

Dracula's father, Vlad, hates humans and arrives for Dennis's party. Dracula shields his grandson from a scare and realizes forcing the fangs isn't worth it. He tells Vlad he's a fool for not accepting Dennis. When Dennis shows his fangs, Dracula convinces Mavis and Johnny to stay at the hotel.

On the cruise, Dracula sees Captain Ericka and falls in love at first sight, though he thought that impossible after Martha. He doesn't know she is the great-granddaughter of the monster hunter Van Helsing. At dinner on a deserted island, the two talk about the losses they have suffered, and Ericka starts falling for him.

Van Helsing plays a song that makes the Kraken attack. Dracula is hurt, and Ericka saves him. Johnny defeats Van Helsing's plan by playing upbeat songs, and the relaxed Kraken dances the Macarena. Dracula saves Van Helsing from a fall and, back at the hotel, proposes to Ericka.

On the hotel's 125th anniversary, Dracula plans to retire and hand everything to Mavis and Johnny. When Johnny wants to renovate, Dracula invents a law that would only let monsters own the hotel. Then a ray from Van Helsing turns him human, and he sets off with Johnny, who has become a dragon.

During the trip, Dracula and Johnny start to understand each other. Dracula confesses he lied about the law, and Johnny, hurt, loses control. In the end Dracula lets his son-in-law capture him and says he sees him as family, which brings Johnny back. The hotel is destroyed, and Dracula lets Mavis and Johnny rebuild it their way.

In the series, Dracula is at the Vampire Council and leaves the hotel to his sister, Aunt Lydia. His cape is purple instead of blood-red, and he is voiced by David Berni in season one and Ivan Sherry in season two. In the finale he decides to stay at the hotel for good, sensing more dangers in the Underworld.

Adam Sandler voices Dracula in the first three films. In Transformania, Brian Hull takes over, as Sandler had scheduling conflicts. Hull had already played the part in the short Monster Pets.
