What's your favorite Genndy Tartakovsky joint?

The top Genndy joints are Samurai Jack and Primal. Hotel Transylvania is _not_ a Genndy joint though. He was hired as an animator, and it's very clear (his specific energy is all over this animation), but he didn't write it or anything.
I amazing how this movie is able to shift from hilarious to heartfelt and back again and still have it all feel natural. Sad how the sequels decided to take a more comedic approach (which weren't even funny) while the first movie was genuinely heartfelt.
This movie is so funny and heartwarming, and a total love letter to the Universal Monsterverse. Everyone's voice performance in this is very good. Especially Dracula, able to go from hilarious to heartfelt in an instant.
As someone who worked at the front desk of hotels for almost 20 years, the scene where all the monsters are yelling at the poor zombii at the front desk after everyone knew jonathan was a human - I can relate hahaha
@@felix3033 I liked the second one as well, I just felt that in comparison to the first one, it was more comedic. It is sad to see how everything past the second one just… sucked in my opinion. Wording it better, it couldn’t reach the same heights as the first one or second one.
Jonathan is a character that had the potential to be extremely annoying, granted he was mildly annoying to me personally, he had a childlike sense of wonder and charm that made him relatable.
And he was so actually cool, like yeah he's got like 10 braincells but he uses those braincells for what he believes is right. As much as "he just rolls" is a joke, he really does, it takes him like 10 minutes to acclimate to "ok monsters are real" and subsequently "monsters are pretty chill" and sure he's ignorant but they've been hiding for god knows how long so the stereotypes are all he knows, but once he gets corrected and he just fixes his behavior, no muss or fight just "oh that's not right? Cool got it!" And that's the end! He even shows a level of emotional intelligence in him not actually wanting to kiss Mavis and rejecting her all because he respects drac and his pain. And while that in the end was the wrong decision it came from a place of empathy.
They didn't understand that in that universe Zing is considered pretty much binding. It is not something that can be socially reengineered and ignored. Magic is the thing in the universe.
Exactly. Those are the rules of the monster universe. Not everything needs 'modern sensibilities'. Also who says they can't explore the world and travel as a married couple.
I love the fact that this is a very kinetic movie. There are very few scenes where things are completely still, yet it doesn't feel cluttered or overly busy. They hit the sweet spot.
The first and second movie are my absolute favorites of the series. Love the third and fourth personally, but i felt the most attatched to the first two movies.
Ah, I've missed this duo!! This movie is so much better than I originally thought when it was released - it's spooky fun with a great voice-over cast. It's def. putting me in the mood for Halloween! :)

I still remember when I first watched this. I was in kindergarten when this came out and my elementary school had move nights several times a year. I distinctly remember sitting in that gym eating popcorn with all my new friends while we were all in our sleeping bags. This movie always reminds me of simpler times.
I always thought that it depends on what kind of garlic products he consumes. Like garlic oil makes him gassy and garlic cloves or powder makes his throat swell. Does that make sense? It's just a headcanon I thought of.
I don't see any sequel reactions, but you really should watch 2 and 3! They move the story along so smoothly and it's amazing to see the life of Dracula and Mavis continue.
Though aging single guys, like myself, may not be the target audience of Hotel Transylvania - the series still appeals to the boyish and creative side of me - and remains one of my Tartakovsky favorites. - With current days sensibilities, when comes to relationships portrayed in movies and series - animated or otherwise - I dare say the 'old approach' should not be entirely dismissed. Though not something one should pursue exclusively, it should still not be considered less aspirational. Even I if I have had less success relationship wise, I still believe the 'love at first sight' trope occasionally has its merit in family entertainment. After all - Love at first sight - does not always mean the first person you encounter, but - the first time you encounter 'someone special'.
I'm still coming to terms with the fact that the VA who voiced Johnny in this, is the SAME EXACT VA who's going to voice Scarlet-Spider in Across the Spider-Verse! 🤯
I love this franchise!!! so glad you guys enjoyed it as well, it’s everything you would want from a film like this? hope you guys react to the rest of the films
I’ve always loved this film, the sequels aren’t as good as many also believe, but the story still stands as a beautiful one. Also I’ll never get over how many people thirsted after the invisible man and then when they found out what he looks like when not invisible they were horrified because he wasn’t hot 💀 Like that shit had me gasping for air I was laughing so hard 😂
It's really funny when people call traditional story of falling in love 'cringe'. Somehow you can't get a true love in short time so nobody else can't either.
I love the whole series, in the beginning was like "eh just another comedy cartoon about movie monsters" But as it was surprisingly good kept Waiting and anticipating for each one, 4th film already and still as funny and full of heart still, rare for sequels to be just as funny 😁
Fun Fact: Adam Sandler plays Dracula in Movies 1-3 but the 4th is different than the first three Brian Hull who is a TH-camr and Voice Actor was hired to play Dracula for Adam Sandler’s replacement
I like the 1 and 2, 3 is already a little eh imo, but the 4th is.... Not good. Again, my opinion. But this first one is AMAZING. Fran Drescher is in the cast and I love her voice, it's so iconic.
I actually like 2 and 3. They’re just a fun time. I haven’t seen 4 tho, that doesn’t have Adam Sandler or Kevin James so I’m probably not ever gonna watch it

Hell yes you should!
The Love Bug 1968, Walking with Dinosaurs The Movie 2013, Looney Tunes Back In Action 2003, Angry Birds 2016, Pixels 2015
The sequels were as good or even better than the first. 😊
Yes, the 2nd one is just as good as the first one if not better. But the 3rd one is … it’s okay I guess

I like the second one quite a bit but after that I totally agree
@@milzz8844 It is as good or even slightly better.
The 2nd one was heartfelt & comedic as well. Wym? Th whole dilemma with Dracula & accepting his grandson
Vlad

I really hope you guys watch the sequels. Not everyone loved them as much as the original, but im a guy that appreciates a story as a whole.
I loved the second one

Yeah, but there is story and there is a bad cash grab.
The 4th one was pure garbage.
true 2nd one is awsome 3rd is ok and 4th not so good
Ironic how Adam Sandler did a phenomenal job voicing Dracula 😂
what's the irony ?
In latin america he was dubbed by the same actor who dubbed Dan Povenmire's Dr Doofenshmirtz and that's just iconic

Andy Samberg special

Like Jacob from Twilight imprinting as a wolf.

"legal bat lady turning 118" thats legitimately so funny

The first and second movie are my absolute favorites of the series. Love the third and fourth personally, but i felt the most attatched to the first two movies.
I'm happy to see someone else like all of the movies.
Same
This movie was an instant halloween classic.
This is honestly a fun kids movie if nothing else, whatever people may think of the other movies this one was genuinely exceptional
My boyfriend is obsessed with these movies. He jumped in excitement when I suggested we watch it together lmfao
Adam Sandler is fantastic in this, same with Selena Gomez.
This is one of those movies that was very underrated I still love it to this day
The Bride of Frankenstein('s monster) is played by Fran Dresher from The Nanny.
Ah, I've missed this duo!! This movie is so much better than I originally thought when it was released - it's spooky fun with a great voice-over cast. It's def. putting me in the mood for Halloween! :)
Can’t wait for Halloween. Also, Tara is so fun and super nice.
Baby John saying the word Zing is prophetic😅.

Knowing who the director is got me excited as well.
I had to come here re-watch this reaction before watching their reaction to the second one, that they released today here in TH-cam. 😄
I still remember when I first watched this. I was in kindergarten when this came out and my elementary school had move nights several times a year. I distinctly remember sitting in that gym eating popcorn with all my new friends while we were all in our sleeping bags. This movie always reminds me of simpler times.
That final song, I was obsessed with it as a kid
The garlic thing changes in 3rd movie. Instead of it causing Dracula's throat to swell, it causes him to fart.
I always thought that it depends on what kind of garlic products he consumes. Like garlic oil makes him gassy and garlic cloves or powder makes his throat swell. Does that make sense? It's just a headcanon I thought of.
LOL Love this series of Hotel Transylvania, I hope ypu do the rest of them. Love your reaction.
I don't see any sequel reactions, but you really should watch 2 and 3! They move the story along so smoothly and it's amazing to see the life of Dracula and Mavis continue.
As a single dad of 3 amazing daughters that are my everything , I feel this movie on another level. 💜💜💜 love it!
The next one is jsut as great !
I think the pitchfork scene is outdated for a reason cause it shows how detached Drac is from the world.
Out of all the movies you could’ve reacted to, I did not expect this one
I love this trilogy. Haven’t seen 4 since it’s an amazon prime exclusive.
The director of this movie is the same man that created Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory
I fucking lost it when I heard Fran’s voice out of Mrs. Frankenstein. I used to watch her nanny show on Nick at Night
As a fluffy red headed autistic boy named Jonathan, I think it’s very unfair I don’t have a Mavis in my life
This is the first time I've seen Adam Sandler in a somewhat serious role.
I love Hotel Transylvania

I ❤ reactions with John and Tara!!!!
I'm still coming to terms with the fact that the VA who voiced Johnny in this, is the SAME EXACT VA who's going to voice Scarlet-Spider in Across the Spider-Verse! 🤯
God I love hotel Transilvania
It's always awesome seeing Tara!
The only TH-cam channel that react to straight fire everytime I see y’all upload a video😂 🔥
i always figured the wife of Frankenstein dressed like fran fine from "the nanny" since she's played by fran drescher
I watched this before its release at the Ottawa Film Festival and I still remember how loudly the audience shrieked at thr Twilight reference 🤣
Considering that we’re halfway to Halloween I think it’s great to get a little spooky early
Great Reaction, I had a fun time when I watched this movie for the first time👍
I love this franchise!!! so glad you guys enjoyed it as well, it’s everything you would want from a film like this? hope you guys react to the rest of the films
They took it off of Netflix a week ago! IM SO MMAADDD!!!! 😤😤

Yayyy Tara is so fun in this channel ❤
Yay Tara is back.

I was just thinking about this one yesterday! It's destiny!
I love Tara on the channel 😄
When i first watched this movie when it came out, i thought I was going to be bored to tears but i fell in love with it😂
I’ve always loved this film, the sequels aren’t as good as many also believe, but the story still stands as a beautiful one.

Hotel Transylvania is an adorable family movie. The series is up with Shrek, HTTYD, Kung Fu Panda
It's really funny when people call traditional story of falling in love 'cringe'. Somehow you can't get a true love in short time so nobody else can't either.
This film was brilliant because I like Johnny with music I was funny
Tara is super nice, I love when you all have her on.
"Frankenhooker"! 🤣🤣🤣 That's a great film idea, Guys! ❤ You guys should definitely look into that, if it hasn't already been done. Awesome reaction!❤
I love this movie that's very funny 😂😂😂😂
I love the whole series, in the beginning was like "eh just another comedy cartoon about movie monsters"
But as it was surprisingly good kept Waiting and anticipating for each one, 4th film already and still as funny and full of heart still, rare for sequels to be just as funny 😁
21:01 Is it just me or are the count and the kidd bonding without the count realizing it?❤😂🎉
i think John may have my heart, js
I Love how Quasimodo is a monster cause he's french.
the pouty bat face gets me every time. so freaking cute!!!!!!
Please watch 2, 3 and 4 as well ❤
You should watch Hotel Transylvania 2 and 3 soon🙂 .
I just noticed the scream of the guy with one eye when it gets revealed Johnny is a human sounds like peppino ftom pizza tower
I love the facial expressions so much 😂😂😂😂
I LOVE Wayne Warewolf.
27:37 underrated joke😂
Fun Fact: Adam Sandler plays Dracula in Movies 1-3 but the 4th is different than the first three Brian Hull who is a TH-camr and Voice Actor was hired to play Dracula for Adam Sandler’s replacement
Think the first two are the only pretty good ones until 3 and 4 dropped the ball.
Mummy -That’s cool that he rolls…😐🙃😌😏😂💚
Fran Drescher was the voice of Eunice Frankenstein ❤❤
Really want to see the reaction for the 2nd one and even third
Awesome movie 🔥
She's back
Love your reactions. Please do Mulan. Very funny movie
This is a perfect Halloween movie, love this film
I DO NOT SAY BLEH BLEH BLEH!!!
Umm excuse me Tara is gorgeous???
Got confused for a second there
Love the reaction. Will we get the sequels?? 🤩🤩
i hope you do the rrst of the movies.. love this franchise
I like the 1 and 2, 3 is already a little eh imo, but the 4th is.... Not good. Again, my opinion. But this first one is AMAZING. Fran Drescher is in the cast and I love her voice, it's so iconic.
!!WHY-Why-why do I Love This Movie so Much.....? Basically, It Sucks, Although I even Saw the 3D Version of This, 2 & 3...? Go Jonathan!!!
I love the second movie a lot ❤ definitely need to watch it !!!
The sequels are SO MUCH better than the 1st movie. Hope you guys decide to watch them. 💜
Uh…not really
I agree! The 3rd one is my favorite ❤
Not really but still like the ones I have seen and worth for them to watch
its 2>1>3 for me !!
hotel transylvania was so funny my first time watching it was when i got it on boot leg verson i love this movie my favorite one is the second one
Awesome! Please watch the other Hotel Transilvania movies too!!
I actually like 2 and 3. They’re just a fun time. I haven’t seen 4 tho, that doesn’t have Adam Sandler or Kevin James so I’m probably not ever gonna watch it
Mrs Frankenstein is voiced by Fran Dressher, who if you look back at her career has always warn those loud, gaudy, bright colored outfits
24:52 can't sleep
You should watch the sequels. 😃
Can you please do the whole entire trilogy of hotel, Transylvania
Who'll win? Mavis or Wednesday
Tara!!!❤
i wanna see you guys react to the second one
