Quick answer

Starrd's 24K Magic Cruise template turns two photos into the viral cruise-deck dance from Hotel Transylvania 3, set to Bruno Mars' 24K Magic. Photo 1 is the dancer, who does the whole Dracula routine on the deck. Photo 2 is the sidekick, who peeks around a corridor, double-takes, dances inside a puffy white blob costume and pops out of a vent at the end. Everyone keeps their own face and outfit. 30 seconds, 16:9, with the song, 250 credits.
