The Little Vampire

Parents need to know that The Little Vampire is a 2017 animated feature from Holland in which a tween boy from America befriends a tween vampire while visiting Transylvania with his family. There are some brief moments of peril: The dad of the American family loses control of the car and it falls off a cliff, vampire hunters chase vampires and attempt to chop them up with propellers. Some potty humor is involved -- flying cows defecate on a helicopter -- and "sucks" is used a couple times, and not in the context of what vampires do with blood. There's some slapstick cartoon violence involving the bad guys hitting each other and getting hit and falling over. But overall, most near-scares are counterbalanced with humor. The movie is based on the children's book series by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg.
