Dracula, daughter Mavis, and non-vampire son-in-law Jonathan are happily managing the hotel full of monsters, as per the end of the original movie. When grandson Dennis is born, Dracula cannot wait for him to manifest his vampiric heritage, but Dennis seems as if he will always be a curly ginger-haired human. Following Mavis saying that she is thinking of moving away from the hotel, Dracula sends her and Jonathan to have a holiday with Jonathan's parents, while he spends time with Dennis, going on a camping trip with him. Chaos ensues.
This film strikes me as only existing because its predecessor was so popular – it has a tolerable but entirely predictable story, and is the sort of movie where, if you enjoyed the first one then you'll enjoy this and, if you didn't, you won't. But that is an observation, not a criticism, because this film is pretty funny, albeit often taken at such breakneck speed that the gag has gone before you realised there was a gag there in the first place. The story voice cast do well, and this is a highly enjoyable family film with some heart (albeit the same heart the first film had).
