September 27, 2012 : Genndy’s Hotel Transylvania Opens This Weekend
Being a huge fan on Genndy Tartakovsky, I am curious how well Hotel Transylvania will do this weekend. He was the fifth director signed on to the project, which has been in development since 2006 – so clearly there is some extra baggage associated with this film. However, it’s worth pointing out that Sony Pictures liked his work enough on this film to sign him to direct another animated feature (sadly, it’ll be a movie based on Popeye as opposed to new material… or Samurai Jack).
While the concept doesn’t blow you away, I do like how the movie possesses a cartoony feel despite being a 3D movie. This was intentional, as Genndy himself stated in an article for the movie. I certainly enjoy the realism of 3D animation, but I’m also a huge fan of traditional 2D animation; so I’m interested to see how a 3D movie is executed by someone with such an accomplished background in 2D. Now let’s just hope the story doesn’t ruin it.
