Overall good message?

Rating: 5/10 (2 November 2019)

Hotel Transylvania has a good message but contains too many things we have seen in other movies. Particularly when it comes to gender roles and gender stereotypes. We see Mavis wearing lipstick when she is a baby (although maybe this is just a trait of female vampires?) In a film that has a core message that teaches children not to judge others for their actions or for being different. All of the relationships presented in the film are heterosexual relationships. For a movie that was made in 2012 I wish they could have pushed the boundary pertaining to relationships and gender roles within them.
