So...anybody got plans for next summer?

Because the Drac Pack does.

For the uninitiated, have a (relatively modified) synopsis:

In Sony Pictures Animation's Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, join our favorite monster family as they embark on a vacation on a luxury monster cruise ship so Drac can take a summer vacation from providing everyone else's vacation at the hotel. It’s smooth sailing for Drac’s Pack as the monsters indulge in all of the shipboard fun the cruise has to offer, from monster volleyball to exotic excursions, and catching up on their moon tans. But the dream vacation turns into a nightmare when Mavis realizes Drac has fallen for the mysterious captain of the ship, Ericka, who hides a dangerous secret that could destroy all of monsterkind.

It's okay to me. I'm not sure if keeping the main conflict (the cruise captain being a relative of Van Helsing and going havok on the monsters) out of this trailer is a good idea. People may just think this is going to be a film with relatively low stakes.

I do notice that Genndy is one of the co-writers of this film when he wasn’t for the first two.

I haven’t seen the first one all the way all the way through and nothing of the second one. How much of a Happy Madison feeling did they have?

The second one admittedly had more of a Happy Madison vibe.

[up] I figured. Adam Sandler co-wrote it.

This might become the new Ice Age franchise.

I can watch both. And it looks like this third movie will be the same. I love the animation and designs here.

To me, it looks like it'll be exactly the same as the first 2. That's not really a bad thing for me though, as I loved the first 2.

The short puppy had more of a 'feel' to watching something from Genndy(it helps that he wrote that). I didn't like the second one as much as I liked the first, maybe the third time will be the charm for being good? I just hope that Sony allows Genndy to work on something original when this is finished.

The third one is the first time Genndy has writing credit, so I have high hopes for it.

The second one had the strongest Happy Madison vibe.

[up][up] Puppy! was unfunny, uninteresting and all around... garbage

Kinda disappointing if Genndy actually wrote that short

I enjoy the more "2D" flair the film looks like it's going for.

Apparently, the film was written based off of a terrible cruise he went on with his family.

Probably without the Bermuda Triangle and descendant of Van Helsing.

Which is ironic considering SONY is obviously going to cash in on all the cruises people will take over the summer and therefore they're going to portray it as a fun, enjoyable experience, story conflicts notwithstanding.

I also heard he's going to try to include as many Popeye-movie ideas into the climax as possible.

...I thought I read that that was the plan for HT 2's climax.

I admit I thought it was just a little visual gag, but her neck seems to be that length in general.

...nothing in that first paragraph makes any sense.

Much as I wish Genndy was working on something else, I'm still pretty interested in this. Genndy's visual humor is always on point.

The only thing I didn't like about the second movie was the way it totally undercut its entire plot at the very end, which admittedly is pretty bad, but still.

I've already spotted a continuity error in the trailer. First movie, Drac says that he can't eat garlic because his throat swells when he does. Here, he only farts. Disappointed sad

It's a trailer. Shots are edited differently than in the actual movie. Some shots are even reanimated.
