Transforming into a Bat Dracula gives Chase and catches up to the plane. He takes control of the pilots mind and apologizes to Jonathan.The movie ends with Mavis and Jonathan a couple ready to leave and explore the world.I was very surprised by this film, the animation was very good as was the acting. However like many others this movie hit upon my pet peeve, of calling the monster Frankenstein. Frankenstein was the name of the Doctor who made it and not the monster itself. Also the Invisible man isn't technically a monster but....whatever.This film works for both kids and adults and is good to watch especially around Halloween.

This was a fun movie. Probably not one we'll watch over and over, but my 7 yr old enjoyed it.

My granddaughter is 3 years old she absolutely loves this movie we've probably seen it a dozen times but every time I go to her house she wants to watch it or if she comes to my house we've watched it here so when she asked me to watch the movie I always just re-rented but she loves it and so do I.
