If you're looking for an animated horror movie to take your kids to, you may want to keep your eyes on Dreamwork's Hotel Transylvania. This project has been in development for some time, but it now has a full cast which includes Adam Sandler voicing Dracula and Kevin James voicing Frankenstein.

The film will be directed by Samurai Jack's Genndy Tartakovsky and also features the voices of Fran Drescher, David Spade, Steve Buscemi, Andy Samberg, Cee Lo Green, and Molly Shannon. Dreamworks has also announced a release date of September 21, 2012 and provided the full plot synopsis.

"Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s (Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here’s a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world’s most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis."
