Hotel Transylvania[]

When Eunice won the bingo game, this elderly gremlin ate her card. Eunice then became very angry at her.*

Later while the music is playing in the gym, she eats the scooter.

Also when Jonathan is discovered as a human and the monsters are angry and complaining while trying to check out, she says with outrage, "He let me eat his SCOOTER!" which she was honest about.

Hotel Transylvania 2[]

She is present during the battle against Bela's bat cronies. She actually eats one of the cronies attacking Mike and Linda, afterwards saying her famous line "I didn't do that", much to Mike and Linda's confusion.

Finally she is seen at Dennis' birthday party in the ending scene. She eats Dennis' birthday cake whole and says "I didn't do that."*

*She probably will be watched for this

Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation[]

Theotrically speaking, Elderly Gremlin did not appear in the sequel. But then, she is scrapped for unknown reasons (possibly, she has no part for the story).

Trivia[]

  • Her catchphrase, "I didn't do that.", is a running gag throughout the movie and is also used in the ending credits. It is also probably a reference to Bart Simpson from The Simpsons, who often says "I didn't do it!", though unlike her who does it out of compulsion he does it to get out of trouble, which is not to be confused with the TV series starring Olivia Holt.
  • The Elderly Gremlin is disliked by Hotel Transylvania fans after her supporting role in the first film. So she had a minor role in Hotel Transylvania 2, only appearing two times at the end of the film, and even does not appear in Hotel Transylvania 3 and Hotel Transylvania: Transformania.
  • The voice actor for Elderly Gremlin remains unknown, fans have speculated she is voiced by Adam Sandler but no official confirmation has been made.
  • In the first draft of Hotel Transylvania 2 she was gonna have more of her "I didn't do that" gag. Originally when Drac left with Dennis he had Eunice watch over the hotel while he's gone & one part of the movie had Eunice seeing the gremlin lady saying that line. This original script was heavily changed and the "I didn't do that" gag was reduced to the final battle and the ending literally.
