[English]

Hey, look! It's the Kraken.

Everybody out! Now!

We're trapped! Everybody back!

Baby!

Papa!

This has to stop now!

Drac, no!

Dad!

Mavis!

Get ready for a DJ battle!

You just carry all that stuff around with you?

Once a bar mitzvah DJ, always a bar mitzvah DJ.

We're gonna use good music to defeat his evil music.

- What? - Trust me, I know the tunes,

but you've got the power.

All right. Okay.

Opening song needs to be off the shizak.

Got it. Play this!

I'm picking up good vibrations

She's giving me excitations

- Good - I'm picking up

Good vibrations

She's giving me

Excitations

Good, good, good

Good vibrations

She's giving me...

What is that noise?

I'm picking up good vibrations

She's giving me excitations

I like this one.

This feels good.

Good vibrations

The fool.

His music is too powerful!

We're gonna need something even more positive.

Now, Drac!

So don't worry

Be happy

Don't worry

- Really? - It has a nice message.

Don't worry

Be happy

I've had enough of this nonsense!

Johnny, we need the most brain-dominating,

toe-tappinating song in the history of all the universe.

Come on. Where is it?

I don't know!

There's too many choices.

No, wait!

This is it.

What the...

Boy, that stinks.

It's working!

Hey, Johnny's corny music is defeating the evil music.

I kind of like it.

No!

I'm a slave to the rhythm!

No!

Drac, what are you doing?

You got to be greater than the haters!

Why?

Why, after everything,

would you save my life?

Because basically we are all the same.

Claws or hands, two eyes or three eyes.

- Green skin. - No skin.

- Prickly. - Brainy.

I'm sorry.

♪ I thought I found a love but she was just a fling

♪ And then I met a girl and felt a different thing

♪ It's like you're hit in the ring Like you're pulled by a string

♪ Can't breathe like you're choking on a chicken wing

♪ It was a thing called a Zing and I wanted to sing

♪ And listen to ballads of the man named Sting

♪ Lady looks in your eyes and it's suddenly spring

♪ Like when Nala looked at Simba in The Lion King

♪ Zinging in the air and I don't have a care

♪ I'm winging from the Zing that we shared

♪ Zinging in the rain Now I'm feeling no pain

♪ It's a real time for celebrating

♪ ‘Cause you're my Zing

Drac, you ready to throw down?

No, no, I just came closer to hear you better.

Come on, just give it a try.

All right, maybe just a little.

♪ So listen all you Zingers from here to Beijing

♪ You better crash the box spring Get ready to cling

♪ ‘Cause if love was money you'd be yelling cha-ching

♪ Next to a Zing Cupid's arrow's a little bee sting

♪ It was a Zing and a zang and a zingidy-dee

♪ And there was only one lady in the Zing for me

♪ 'Cause when you're dinged by the Zing

♪ You better know one thing The only bling you gonna sling

♪ Is a wedding ring

♪ Zinging in the air

♪ Now I don't have a care

♪ I'm winging from the Zing that we shared

Zinging in the rain Now I'm feeling no pain

♪ It's a real time for celebrating

♪ ‘Cause you're my Zing

♪ Feel the Zing, y'all Ba-da-bing, y'all

♪ Gonna knock you right out of that ring, y'all

♪ Better bring, y'all Happening, y'all

♪ Pay attention to the undead king, y'all ♪

♪ I can't believe it's your big night

♪ Seems like only yesterday you were eating mosquitoes

♪ But now you're eating frogs and mice

♪ Scarfing them down like Doritos

♪ Tell me

♪ Where did the time go, girl? ♪

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on, guys.

Stop.

That's cute, but kind of old school.

Yes, thank you, Johnny.

You got to totally tempo things up.

Here, let me show you.

JONATHAN: Werewolf man, give me a jam!

Two, three, four!

♪ Vampire girl with the fangy fangs

♪ Hair real cute with the bangy bangs

♪ Little princess gonna be a queen

♪ Legal bat lady turning 118 ♪

CROWD: 118! Say 118!

118!

Yeah! Stage dive!

Awesome.

I am so blown away right now.

I think my cuz Is gonna make this

the best party ever!

Yeah! Maybe he can find a way to get me some chicks.

We should do a dance contest!

We're not doing any of that.

We've got to stay on schedule, all right?

All right, Dad, all right.

Johnny, you're coming, too. I don't know.

Is it cool with Dracula? Johnny, come with us.

Everyone assemble on the forward deck.

We are arriving at our final destination.

From the depths of creation,

the mighty city has risen once again.

Home to the greatest monster civilisation

the world has ever known,

far surpassing Athens and Rome in art, culture and sophistication.

I give you the legendary lost city of Atlantis.

It's a giant Kraken!

There's a place you've gotta be

A thousand leagues beneath the sea

And it's waiting over here for you and me

Gonna take you for a ride

But first you've gotta come inside

Get ready, for the party's on tonight

So relax and just unwind

Leave your worries all behind

And get ready, for the party's on tonight

Welcome to Atlantis!

So get ready

Ready

It's party time

It's party time!

♪ Girl

♪ I can't believe it's your big night

♪ You ate your frogs, now the party's so right

♪ Where did the time go, girl?

♪ And, girl, you used to suck a binky

♪ Look at you now

♪ You're sucking blood right out of the cow ♪

JONATHAN: Wow.

You look beautiful.

Thanks. Thanks for the party.

Yeah, you like my little touches?

It's amazing.

Terrific party. You really outdid yourself, Drac.

Got to be the best one I've been to in 500 years.

(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING)

(ROARING)

Sorry, big man.

Uh, Mavis?

I'm crazily scared right now.

Maybe that's a good thing.

How could you? After I shared my pain with you?

But, no... Dad, it was just a kiss.

No, you're not allowed to kiss.

Dad, I'm allowed to do things. I'm not 83 anymore.

I'm allowed to like people, or go see the world again.

What? You saw it! You said you didn't like it!

Maybe I want to give the village another chance.

I just need to learn, you know, just how to roll with it, like Johnny does.

No, no, you can't go to the village again.

Maybe you can make them see that we could be friends.

No, that isn't possible.

Well, you can't be sure. It's all in how you present yourself.

No, that won't make a difference! How do you know?

Because it just won't! Why? Why won't it?

Because that village doesn't really exist!

(MUSIC STOPS)

What do you mean "doesn't exist"?

FRANKENSTEIN: What did you do?

I did what I had to do.

What was it?

What exactly did you have to do? Tell me!

I... I built the town. The staff put it all together.

The zombies dressed up as the townspeople.

Please. I...

If you really went out there and something happened to you,

I just couldn't live with myself.

But you can live with this? Lying to me? Tricking me?

Keeping me here forever when you knew my dream was to go.

(MUFFLED) Liar! Liar!

Oil?

Uh-uh-uh! (MUFFLED SPEECH)

English, please.

Your voice is really annoying.

Wait, I speak frozen.

He says, "Dracula has brought a human into the hotel."

(CROWD GASPING)

A human? Stay close, pookie!

(MUFFLED SPEECH)

He says, "There is ze human."

He has a French accent.

(GASPS) (GASPS)

(GASPING)

Johnny's not a human. He's my right arm's cousin.

He's lying. GRIFFIN: Yeah.

And why is he picking his nose?

(MUFFLED SPEECH)

He says, "It's a long story."

Hey, wait, no! Get off me! (ESMERALDA SQUEAKING)

Ew!

(MUFFLED SPEECH)

He says, "Behold ze human."

(SCREAMING)

I don't believe it.

Is it true? Are you a human?

Yes.

I'm so sorry.

I don't care. I still want to be with you.

(CHUCKLES)

Uh...

Well, tough. 'Cause I don't want to be with you.

Because you're a monster. And I hate monsters.

Goodbye.

Please don't hurt me!

This is all your fault!

Ah!

ALL: Oh!

ALL: Aw!

(LAUGHING) Whoo-hoo!

Great.

(SPEAKING GIBBERISH)

True. So true, Marty.

ALL: Aw!

-(SCREAMING) -(CAMERAS CLICKING)

(MR. BIGFOOT BELLOWING)

Aw. How sweet.

Oh, my. Look at you. (GASPS)

(MUFFLED VOICE) on, my gosh.

Oh.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Is it everything you wanted, my little poisonberry?

Oh, it is, Daddy.

Except where's Grandpa Vlad?

Honey, your gramps would not have been cool with this.

He's old-school.

How do we know? If he could just meet Johnny...

He would have eaten him.

He's not as enlightened as your hip Daddy.

So, you're really okay with him not being a monster?

Human, monster, unicorn, as long as you're happy.

Thanks, Dad.

<i>(SINGING) And you'll always</i> <i>be my moonlight</i>

<i>But now on wings of love you soar</i>

<i>Now that you're Johnny's girl</i>

<i>Johnny's girl</i>

<i>And kind of Daddy's, too</i>

<i>Your mom would be so happy</i>

<i>'Cause she always knew</i>

<i>Love is making room for all the best in you</i>

(APPLAUDING)

(MR. BIGFOOT CRYING)

(HUMMING)

- Hey, Dad. -Oh, hey, guys!

Todd, take a break.

So, what's up?

Mavis was wondering if maybe you wanted to go for a fly.

Oh. We haven't done that in forever. Any special reason?

No special reason at all. (GIGGLES)

- Right, Mavey? -(CHUCKLES)

- What's his deal? -He's silly.

It's just a beautiful night, and...

Well, if you don't want to...

No, no! Are you kidding?

I would eat a bucket of garlic to fly with you.

(DRACULA LAUGHING)

Oh, honey, look at those fluffy clouds.

Remember what we played when you were little?

Hide and Go Seek Sharp Objects?

Okay. Regular Hide and Go Seek.

(MAVIS CHUCKLES)

Where are you?

(MAVIS CHUCKLES)

Honeybat!

Mavey!

Honeybat!

I'm gonna get you.

(MAVIS PANTING)

Honey? Are you okay?

(SIGHING) Yes. It's just a little harder to catch my breath since I'm pregnant.

Yes, well, I guess that would make it more...

What?

(GASPS)

(CHEERING)

I'm gonna be a grandpa! (ECHOING)

JONATHAN: And I'm gonna be a dad!
