However, he assures that, if he had a choice, he would like "be invisible for a day"since he sins "wanting to please everyone", an aspect in which she resembles Mavis Dracula, the character she gives voice to in the saga "Transylvania hotel".
"Sin of wanting to please, of wanting everyone to be happy. Something that is also Mavis’s goal, as she tries to keep the family together and everyone get along.", said the singer and actress in an interview with Efe for the premiere of the fourth installment of the cartoon franchise.
After three successful theatrical releases, the characters of "Transylvania hotel" They return this Friday with a new adventure for the whole family that will be available worldwide through the Amazon Prime platform.
