the story has been done before, but I really liked the animation

Rating: 7/10 (30 June 2013)

The best thing this movie has going for it is the animation. I thought it was really good, not as good as Pixir, but good. The story is a little dated, protective dad wants to keep daughter away from the world and from meeting a guy. Most of the time a princess is involved, but this movie using vampires. Yes, more vampires. So Dracula wants to keep his daughter Mavis from leaving his castle and meeting humans. In order to do this, he builds and fake town and using zombies to act as humans to scare her back. Also, he is throwing a birthday party for her and all his monster friends are at the castle. Then an uninvited guest shows up, Jonathan, a human. So Drac has to do all these funny things to keep the other monsters from noticing that Jonathan is human. All the while, Mavis is enjoying Jonathan's company and hearing about his travels. So of course, eventually the gig is up, but all the monsters come together to do what is right.
FINAL VERDICT:I liked the animation and the film had its funny parts. I thought it was entertaining and I bet 10 year olds would really love it. Worth a viewing.
