Monster dogs are the cutest.
The third installment in the Hotel Transylvania franchise is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 13, 2018, but Sony Pictures Animation doesn’t want you to have to wait that long to catch up with your favorite characters.
Ahead of The Emoji Movie this weekend, a brand new short film titled Puppy! will be playing, and it expands on the Hotel Transylvania Universe (every franchise has one these days) by introducing a new pet for Dennis.
“I love dogs, and we just got a dog last year, and it’s this big Saint Bernard,” director Genndy Tartakovsky explained the genesis of the short. “And then I connected, ‘Oh, what if Dennis wants a puppy and Dracula gets him one and it’s this giant monster dog?'”
Andy Samberg, Asher Blinkoff, Selena Gomez and Adam Sandler star in the short.
