The Drac Pack is Back (And Looking a Little Different): A Review of Hotel Transylvania: Transformania (2022) Hotel Transylvania 4: Transformania(2022)

The core of Transformania lies in a classic "body-swap" trope with a supernatural twist.

Watching a powerless Drac navigate the humid jungles of South America while Johnny revels in his new monstrous abilities provides most of the film’s comedic energy. It’s a literal "walk in someone else's shoes" journey that forces Drac to finally see Johnny for who he truly is. A Change in the Castle A Change in the Castle
