Hotel Transylvania Franchise Debuts New Short Film Monster Pets as Fourth Movie Reveals Release Date
Hotel Transylvania may be home to monsters but its haunted halls are also home to some monster pets!
The franchise has released its five-minute short film Monster Pets which follows Drac's struggle to find a pet companion for his loveable monster-sized puppy Tinkles.
Despite his best efforts, Drac's plan goes awry when Tinkles chooses his own, very unlikely companion.
The short, now available on YouTube and in Cinemark theaters, comes as Sony Pictures Animation revealed the final fourth film in the franchise, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, is coming to theaters this summer.

Selena Gomez, who will also reprise her role as Dracula's daughter Mavis, is also an executive producer on the fourth film.
