I'm not sure I'd let any young ones watch this - in the opening scenes a lady's throat gets slit, and even in animation it's not pleasant, perhaps less so because you don't expect it of a cartoon... maybe I'm just used to the classic Tom & Jerry style cartoons and not enough of the alternative stuff, but it's a field I'm coming to appreciate as there are just so many bad vampire movies and the animated stuff is far superior!

The DVD also features a behind-the-scenes look into the sequel which is well worth a watch or two.
