History WesternAnimation / HotelTransylvania

* "Puppy" (2017) A animated short set after the second movie played before the ''WesternAnimation/TheEmojiMovie''.

* ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation'' (July 13, 2018) - Another sequel that sees the Drac Pack head off on a cruise for the summer (as a surprise from Mavis to her dad), which Drac (at least at first) finds to be rather lame, pointing out that it's essentially "[[{{ItsTheSameSoItSucks}} a hotel on the water.]]"

* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler:Quasimodo in ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame'' is a hideous but nice character whose very point is to avert BeautyEqualsGoodness; He certainly isn't the FrenchJerk [[ImAHumanitarian Humanitarian]] portrayed in this movie. While gruffer in [[Literature/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame the original, literary version]], he's still shown as goodhearted.]]
