Rose Absolutely amazing film that brought me great joy growing up Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/23 Full Review Faith K The original was way better. This is a carbon copy, animated version of a 2000 kid movie that got rid of all the exposition, bonding moments and all the quality pacing that the original had. Dumping this fake with all the other crappy copycat movies: in the burn pile. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/06/23 Full Review Ia R This child-friendly romance movie is an absolute delight. My family and friends watch it literally every day. Rudolph, Tony, and the wacky grandparents live in my head rent free. And this is not even mentioning the chad that is Rookery. Every iconic line of dialogue has me on my feet clapping. I only wish that I could see this in theaters, where it belongs. My only regret is that the movie left ambiguous whether the love spell on Tony was completely removed. But I'm sure that this will be cleared up in the sequels :) 20/10 movie, literally a better vampire romance movie than Twilight. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/22 Full Review Audience Member My girl and I watched this in glorious 3D on a Dutch import Blu-ray. We both loved it. Simple but sweet straightforward story with likable protagonists, hissable villains, and lots of heart. The Old World European backgrounds and gothy rich color schemes were absolutely beautiful. The titular little vampire Rudolph Sackville-Bagg and the other undead characters were all well quite well animated and perfectly voiced; the mortals less so on average, with the boy's parents being a bit stiff and inexpressive, but the villainous vampire hunter Rookery (voiced by the wonderful Jim Carter, aka Mr. Carson from Downton Abbey) was well done. And the vampirization of a certain barnyard animal was a brilliant idea. The 3D was definitely above average IMO, almost up there with Dreamworks in spots, occasional popouts but quite strong depth throughout, especially effective during the many spectacular flying scenes and chase scenes. My only quibble would be that the character animation needed a bit more polish here and there, but overall, this is an unjustly underrated and underknown 3D animated film, the first Dutch animated movie to be filmed in 3D in fact, and is tons of fun. If you're one of those who are young at heart like myself and really enjoy the simple straightforward pleasures of nWave's 3D spectaculars (A Turtle's Tale, Thunder and the House of Magic, The Son of Bigfoot), this one is a must-own. The 3D isn't as strong as an nWave production, but it's pretty damn good, and its heart is in the same place; great atmospheric orchestral music score too, which complements the onscreen action perfectly. This film has really grown on me. Top marks. It's on Netflix, but in 2D only of course, and the 3D adds immeasurably to the viewing experience, so I'd advise finding the Dutch Blu-ray if you can. Also, I just discovered that Jim Carter also played Rookery in the 2000 live action film (which now I really want to see), and Alice Krige played Rudolph's mother in both films. Very cool that the filmmakers sought them out for the animated film to reprise their roles. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It was an okay movie. Th animation was smooth most of the time. The designs were okay. Not great. I enjoyed Rudolf’s Punk Rock Look and the Family’s style as well. Tony looked a lot like Ellen De generous to me tho I kept chuckling. Tony’s Voice acting was not very good. I know kids won’t notice that tho. The slapstick humor is okay for the little ones also. They really made the vampires a lot Nicer here than the Live Action original. I still prefer the Original to this one. The Ending was sudden and not the best choice if you ask me. Over all it was an okay movie. Rudolf’s and Tony’s Friendship was cute. I don’t plan on rewatching it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/01/21 Full Review Audience Member One of the most incredible, thought provoking cinematic experiences in my 45 years of life. From this point on, my life can be divided into two sections, Pre-The Little Vampire 3D and Post-The Little Vampire 3D. The Lipnicki triangle will go down in cinema history, often copied but never duplicated. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
