What Parents Need to Know

About The Little Vampire

Parents need to know that this movie includes dead bodies, stakes through the heart, a child locked in a crypt, a dead mouse, vampire cows, references to the undead, and a generally ghoulish atmosphere. Some kids, especially fans of the book, will love this stuff, but others will be upset by it. In addition, there are characters in peril, schoolyard fights with bullies, and a brief adult fistfight.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what we do when we get scared. Tony pretends to be a vampire, which is one way to be less scared by them. And once he sees that Rudolph needs his help, he is not afraid anymore. Talk to kids about the bullies at school, and any experiences they may have had with bullies. Do they think that Tony becomes a bully in the movie?

    I rate this title on for age 5 and give it 1.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive consumerism
    • Negative role models

    Very bad movie, do not bother

    When I was very young, i loved it. But now it is a very bad movie. Young children may like it but you won't. anyone 9 and up will dislike it.
