Night of the Animated Dead

"Night of the Animated Dead" is a very interesting idea, and I don't fully hate this idea, however this movie suffers from some very questionable animation.

What I liked about this movie is that it's quick. It's a nice breezy 70 minute long movie, and it was nice to just have a movie that went quickly. The gore too is also very good. The movie succeeds with its cartoon gore. The voice acting is also very good. The movie did do a great job at making this feel like a homage to the original.

However this movie does suffer from some not good animation. It's not terrible, but it's just very cheap looking. The movie also doesn't take chances to really change things. I get this is a animation of it, but they could've done some new things to change up the story. And finally the middle portion of the movie does slow down a little bit, but it does start to pick up in the final 20 minutes.

Overall "Night of the Animated Dead" is a cool idea that really suffers from cheap animation, and not doing much new, but it had fun gore, and was quick enough for me to enjoy enough.

Seriously. Just watch the original movie and appreciate everything that made it the classic horror film that it is. Or watch the Rifftrax version with some friends. This version is basically a shot-for-shot remake of the classic movie with janky animation, middling gore effects, and uninspired voice acting. There's none of the atmosphere or tension found in the original, and not because of the animated format -- it simply doesn't do anything with the source material.

Seriously, who green-lit this garbage? The animation is some of the worst I've ever seen.

This follows the original Night of the Living dead almost exact. I was excited to see it. And to be honest it would have been good. But the animation is the downfall. Very choppy is some places. If maybe the animation was like some of the other animation WB produces. It would have been extremely good....my Rating. Story : 7 Animation : 3.

This was a decent animated take on a beloved classic. It has a few little problems sure. Some of the voices don't have feeling behind them. Otherwise it's almost a shot for shot retelling of the original with some additional scenes added such as the diner scene from Ben's story. If you're a fan of the original and aren't an asshole you will have a good time.
