"The success of the Hotel Transylvania saga over the years speaks for itself," says Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios.

"The Hotel Transylvania saga is especially important to Sony Pictures Animation," said Kristine Belson, president of Sony Pictures Animation. "It has been with us for nearly a decade and has allowed us to bring Genndy Tartakovsky's unique vision to the world. And we are extremely proud of the contributions of our wonderful directors Jennifer Kluska and Derek Drymon to the saga.

Now the family saga of Dracula and his daughter Mavis, son-in-law Johnny and their friends is coming to an end. We are thrilled to be working with Amazon to bring this film to families around the world.

Synopsis:
When Van Helsing's mysterious invention, the "Monsterfication Ray", goes haywire, Drac and his monster pals are all transformed into humans, and Johnny becomes a monster! In their new mismatched bodies, Drac, stripped of his powers, and an exuberant Johnny, loving life as a monster, must team up and race across the globe to find a cure before it's too late, and before they drive each other crazy. With help from Mavis and the hilariously human Drac Pack, the heat is on to find a way to switch themselves back before their transformations become permanent.
