Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation Review - 4 Ups & 5 Downs
3. Tinkles Steals The Show
If The Emoji Movie brought us anything worthwhile at all, it's surely Tinkles, Dennis' pet "puppy" who was introduced in the short Puppy!, which was placed in front of The Emoji Movie last summer.
The short easily convinced that the comically oversized dog would be an adorable addition to the franchise, and Summer Vacation proves that to be totally true.
The inherent absurd hilarity of a giant dog aside, the fact that he spends most of the movie dressed up in a giant raincoat in order to avoid detection on the boat (which doesn't allow pets) is an infectiously amusing, undeniably cute visual.
Honestly, if Sony ever decides to make a Minions-esque Tinkles spin-off, they could end up with a billion-dollar hit on their hands, because he steals every scene he's in here.
