The Radical Child

  

During the 125th anniversary celebration of the eponymous hotel, Dracula plans to bequeath it, although he lies to his son-in-law Johnny about there being a monster-exclusive real estate law, and thus, Johnny seeks help from Van Helsing to be transformed into a monster, although cross-contamination turns several of the monster characters into humans, and a crystal needed to repair the instrument responsible for the transformations is sought in South America. Wasn't bad, but I rarely laughed during it.

  

Sort of a contemporary take on the Arabian Nights tale of Aladdin occurring in Shanghai (and in the original story, Aladdin is Chinese), with a boy named Din finding a teapot containing a wish dragon, and yearns to get back together with his childhood girlfriend Lina. Long the dragon was pretty much the high point of the film, with the similarities to the tale of Aladdin being simultaneously a good and bad thing.
