- 70The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeTransformania remains sufficiently goofy-sweet to please its target demo; those who find the humor toothless should at least appreciate the distinctive animation, which can be as energetically wacky as classic Looney Tunes.
- 67The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThe A.V. ClubJesse HassengerIt’s heartening to see a big-ticket cartoon franchise end with the animation as its true star.
- 60TheWrapSimon AbramsTheWrapSimon AbramsWhile many of the jokes in Hotel Transylvania: Transformania probably won’t linger in your mind, they are still fairly well-executed.
- 60Screen RantDebopriyaa DuttaScreen RantDebopriyaa DuttaGenuinely fun and touching in parts, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania casts familiar characters in new molds, adding more heart to the franchise.
- 50SlashfilmJosh SpiegelSlashfilmJosh SpiegelIf there is anything new to this film, it's the sense that the series is self-aware enough to understand that it's time to wrap up.
- 50The New York TimesNicolas RapoldThe New York TimesNicolas RapoldDespite some flourishes (such as a mirror-like crystal cave), “Transformania” feels locked into the routine rhythms of its plotting and makes one-note jokes out of its human incarnations.
- 40Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerAustin ChronicleRichard WhittakerIt’s a fittingly mediocre end to a franchise that has always been OK with being average.
- 30VarietyTomris LafflyVarietyTomris LafflyThe result is yet another wearisome tale that inelegantly depicts themes like acceptance, understanding and diversity within a saga that has always been rather clumsy with its messaging around such weighty topics.
- 25The Associated PressLindsey BahrThe Associated PressLindsey BahrIt’s hard to overstate just how garish and frenetic this whole endeavor is. Even with the explosion of colors it still strains to hold interest.
- 20The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawCue all sorts of strangely tired, laugh-free goofiness, with none of the funny lines and wit that come as standard with Pixar/Disney films. I guess it would pacify very young children.
