Starting off a the hotel's 125th anniversary party and Dracula planning to retire and hand over the business to his daughter Mavis and her wacky human husband Johnny, a human/monster transforming ray-gun wreaks mayhem as human becomes monster and vice versa. Similar to the Ice Age franchise, on reaching this fourth (and allegedly final) film installment delivers more of the same perfectly efficiently but does little to upset the formula. It is simple and gently humorous for its very young target audience, the central idea is somewhat thinly-developed, and the extended quest to South America only really serves to generate visual gags and makes the film more generic once away from its signature settings. The ending suggests the future of the franchise lies away from feature films, but Transformania provides a moderate finale (with a nod to the future) to this pleasant children's series.
