With Hotel Transylvania: Transformania releasing on Amazon Prime. We were lucky enough to sit in on the Press Junket moderated By Yahoo’s Kevin Poloway. Featuring Fran Drescher, Keegan-Michaell Key, David Spade, Andy Samberg, and Selena Gomez.

Questions from the fans:

How did you feel about the new transformations? What was your first reaction?

Andy summed up that Jonny went Full-on Burning Man backpacker to Godzilla. David was invisible but with the new design, he was surprised that audiences thought Griffin would be much more attractive instead of a balding, out-of-shape redhead with glasses. He on the other hand understands the humor into making him the way he’s portrayed. Keegan had the biggest surprise to see that his character wasn’t as corpulent as his wrapped-up form is. He went on to say that the new design informed him of how to change the voice of his character.

What are some of the challeges trying to bring comedic timing to an animated role?

Andy perfectly said that since they are on the 4th film they already feel how big the character and reactions should be, lending the exaggerated art style to their own performances.

How important is the physical comey in these type of films?

Fran being a Queen of 90’s comedy said that even in an animated film, physical jokes still are important. Having the freedom to contort a character lends itself to the joke even better

What is most rewarding about doing Voice-Over work?

Keegan played off Andy’s comment saying that you have so much more freedom to play around. Your imagination you get to channel doing an animated film. hows it’s not frowned upon rather it’s encouraged! “No one’s ever going to tell you to take it down a notch” Key added.

Are you surprised the franchise has lasted 10 years?

Samberg went on to say it was because of the kids that this has sustained a great audience. Taking a new spin on the classic monsters how it is great for families.

Keegan added that the couple’s humor is so relatable too for the parents.
