Don't
let the title fool you. The Little Vampire is a kids movie
based on the popular series of German children's books
by Angela Somer-Bodenburg. It is the perfect movie for
any kid who is a fan of the popular Goosebumps books.
It is rated PG (for some mild peril) and stars that cute
little nine year old boy Jonathan Lipnicki of Jerry Maguire
and Stuart Little. The Little Vampire was written by some
of the same comic writers that brought you such movies
as Chicken Run, James and the Giant Peach, The Rescuers
Down Under, The Addams Family, and Beetlejuice.
Movie
Premise: An imaginative little American boy
has just movie to Europe. He is having trouble adjusting
to his new life and is lonely until he meets a new friend.
His new friend just happens to be a kid vampire. The pair
set
out on a magical adventure to find a magic pendant that
can help save all the other vampires from a life eternal
darkness and save them from the vampire hunters.
Don't
be expecting the usual vampire fair. These vampires live
in families and don't drink human blood. They drink from
cows, which leads to some hilarious flying cow scenes.
It's fun for the whole family.
