Furthermore, the franchise gave us one of the most unexpected earworms: . Watching Dracula force Jonathan to do the Macarena to prove he is not a "witch," while zombies stumble in the background, is a piece of animation that transcends generational humor.
The franchise, centered on the titular "Hotel Transilvania" (often spelled Transylvania in English, but recognized globally under various phonetic spellings), has become a juggernaut in its own right. Spanning four feature films, two television series, and a plethora of short films and video games, the series has redefined the public perception of Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Wolfman for a modern generation.
