FILM: Hotel Transylvania 3 - A Monster Vacation (dir: Genndy Tartakovsky, 2018)

"Would you like to see my parts?"

This reasonably charming children's animation franchise goes on holiday for its third outing, and thus loses part of the fun of the previous films, i.e. using and skewering genre conventions for a young audience.  It is closer in tone and style to the meandering second film rather than the madcap first movie, but it is nonetheless colourful, occasionally energetic and has some nice moments of oddball humour even if overall it does not always have the momentum hoped for.
