* BrokenAesop: Dracula and Vlad gradually accept that Dennis hasn't taken on any vampiric traits, with Dracula ultimately assuring his grandson that he loves him exactly the way he is. [[spoiler:In the climax, Dennis is revealed to be a vampire after all, meaning that Dracula and Vlad both get [[SweetAndSourGrapes exactly what they were previously portrayed as wrong for wanting]].]]

** There is a single conversation that [[NotSoDifferentRemark mentions]] that Dracula is used to be a very sensitive child who took way longer than normal to grow his fangs, just like Dennis. We find out that Vlad finally made it happen by taking something Drac loved and turning it into something that terrified him, but not once is it mentioned what that thing was or how Vlad actually went about doing it. Dracula's horrified reaction to watching Vlad try to do it again with Dennis make this seem like a pretty big detail to brush over.

* UnintentionalUncannyValley: The Phantom of the Opera's look is a little more realistic than everyone else's cartoony dimensions.

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Dracula. He's supposed to learn a lesson about accepting humans into his heart and having a human grandson. However, despite all his attempts to get Dennis to grow in his fangs and his generally overeager attitude over it, he always loved Dennis for who he is and only resorts to such extremes so Mavis won't move away. He also knows that neither Dennis nor Johnny want to move away either, a clear indicator that Dracula learned from his "safety over happiness" lesson from the first movie and is simultaneously trying to prevent Mavis from making everyone miserable.
* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Mavis. She's supposed to be the one calling out Dracula for not accepting a human grandson, but she herself [[{{Hypocrite}} actively tries to steer Dennis away from monster culture.]] She also makes the decision to move to California without getting input from Johnny and Dennis, sacrificing their happiness for their safety...which is exactly what Dracula did to Mavis in the first movie. Not even Johnny's family harboring bigotry towards monsters or Dennis getting bullied by his cousins is enough to stop her. And despite putting Dennis' safety above all else, Mavis [[spoiler: invites her grandfather to meet Dennis before they leave Transylvania]], despite Dracula warning her five years prior that he hated humans much worse than Dracula did and would have eaten Johnny if he met him. Yes, [[spoiler: Vlad redeems himself in the end]], but Mavis [[{{Hypocrite}} knowingly risked getting her family killed]]. Not once does Mavis apologize or make amends for any of this, even though it arguably makes her far worse than Dracula.

* AwardSnub: It's not surprising that Selena Gomez was nominated for a [[UsefulNotes/KidsChoiceAward Kids' Choice Award]] for the film, but it is that Adam Sandler wasn't.
