Vampiretto

So cute and safe it's missing the horror-vampire theme completely, but then there's the friendship/bromance level that makes it all worth watching :)

I loved as a kid the Little Vampire books by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg. This is a free adaptation that doesn't really follow the novels, except some of the basic ideas, like the friendship between the mortal boy and the vampire boy and how traditional and old-fashioned the vampire family was. I felt the story here was weaker than in the novels. They tried to fit it too much to the standard action/adventure animated film model. I don't know, maybe a more faithful adaptation would have been too slow-paced for the intended audience, but it lost part of the character and individuality of the story., although some of it remains The adults were extremely passive/ineffectual for no good reason other than allowing the child characters to shine.

The funny parts were not so funny, including several scatological jokes involving cow poo.

The animation was basic. I liked the character designs, but the movement and backgrounds was not that good, compared with other recent animated movies. There was a lot of flying around by the vampire characters that maybe would look better in 3D (I saw this on TV).

All in all, an entertaining enough movie that should please child viewers, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that it might have been better. Rating: 6/10.

Hi lovelies,

The movie is amazing. From the beautiful accents to the blossoming love and friendship between the characters. It was absolutely amazing to watch it. The storyline is exciting and I like the dark theme surrounding the movie. I would love for the movie to have a sequel. The voice actors did an amazing job!

This is a must see movie!

Kind Regards,

Suman :)

I Actually liked this movie, The fact that some people think its bad because it would tend your kids to the dark side should put more time in parenting and less in writing reviews. the story isn't really strong but fun to watch at. Beware to teach your kid that this movie is fiction and make sure to have a great time watching it. remember no tonics and sweets that is bad for your kid ;)

I found this movie on Netflix while trying to find a movie for my daughter and get past the blood sucking that's off camera it not violent. But it obviously a kids movie. And it has mood swings like a lady pregnant with a baby one moment a character is happy and then one moment he tried to attack him. And the other he's trying to be nice the other he's being a dick. So to a kid how has no care of what he's watching it's great, good kids movie but I am 23 so its not as pleasant to watch am not that old but old enough to not like this movie. But my 7 year old daughter loves it.
