All of the characters are different as if they hadn't had any character development over the last 3 films. Feel like whoever created this movie didn't watch the other 3 movies and decided on how they're going act now. Also Johnny was incredibly irritating like a 4 year old child (despite previous movies where he's grown up a bit), Drac is horrible to Johnny even though he was friends with him later on in the others and made Mavis out to be a spoilt brat. Also when they escape the monster Guinea pig at the hotel Mavis states "I couldn't leave them all at the hotel, it's not safe!" And you're wondering where is Dennis throughout. Then at the end of the movie turns out he was LEFT behind. So Mavis suddenly doesnt care about her OWN son when in the previous movies Dennis was everything to her.
