The third installment in the saga initiated by Genndy Tartakovsky, Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monstrous Holiday is an animated comedy released in 2018. Starring Adam Sandler, Serge Faliu and Diane Dassigny as the lead voices, this film takes Dracula, Mavis and their family on a cruise full of surprises. Following its success in theaters, this colorful adventure joins the HBO Max catalog in October 2025.
The trailer features a mix of humor and maritime adventure, as Dracula discovers love in the midst of an eventful voyage.
Hotel Transylvania 3: A Monstrous Holiday will be available on HBO Max from October 15, 2025.
Synopsis: Our favorite monster family embarks on a dream cruise so that Drac can finally take a breather and enjoy a vacation instead of taking care of everyone else at the hotel. Everything's looking up for the little family, from monster volleyball matches to exotic excursions and moonlit sunbathing sessions... But the ideal vacation takes an unexpected turn when Mavis realizes that Drac has fallen under the spell of the mysterious Ericka, the ship's human captain, whose secret threatens them all...
As in previous films, Adam Sandler and Selena Gomez lend their voices to Dracula and Mavis in the original version, while Serge Faliu and Diane Dassigny provide the French dubbing. New characters appear, notably Ericka, played by Kathryn Hahn, who introduces a romantic and comic dimension to the story.
After two mainly hotel-based installments, Hotel Transylvania 3 takes viewers on a cruise. The film explores a variety of environments: luxurious ships, exotic islands and the ocean floor, renewing the aesthetics of the franchise. This new direction introduces original visual gags and expands the already well-established universe.
Aimed at children aged 6 and over, the film will also appeal to parents with its multi-level humor and nods to romantic comedies and adventure films. Audiences who enjoyed The Croods or Despicable Me 3 may find a similar spirit, combining laughter, tenderness and an upbeat pace.
Produced by Sony Pictures Animation and scripted by Michael McCullers and Genndy Tartakovsky, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation renews the franchise with a plot focused on travel and love. Its arrival on HBO Max in October 2025 allows us to discover or rediscover an important chapter in the monster family saga.
