Sony Pictures Animation has released a new Hotel Transylvania short film titled Monster Pets. The short was released to tease the next film in the Hotel Transylvania franchise, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania.
In the new short, Drac’s lovable, monster-sized puppy, Tinkles, introduced in the previous Hotel Transylvania short Puppy!, has more energy than ever and just wants to play ball. Unfortunately, Drac is too busy juggling his duties at the hotel, so he is determined to find a monster pet companion for his huge furry friend. After a series of mismatches, Drac’s plan goes awry when Tinkles chooses a very unlikely companion. A post-credits scene gives us the first official look at the upcoming fourth film title in the Hotel Transylvania franchise.
Announced back in 2019 with a release date originally set for the 2021 holiday season, Deadline reported last week that Hotel Transylvania: Transformania would now open on July 23. The film had already been slated for an earlier release of August 6.
Deadline also reports that Hotel Transylvania: Transformania will be the fourth and final film in the $1.3 billion franchise, which began in 2012. Check out the new animated short Monster Pets below:
