The Little Vampire 3D (Dutch: De Kleine Vampier 3D), also known as The Little Vampire, is a 2017 3D animated vampire film directed by Richard Claus and Karsten Kiilerich. It is loosely based on the 2000 live-action film of the same name and on the characters of the children's book series by German writer Angela Sommer-Bodenburg.
Background
The film follows 13-year-old Tony Thompson, who meets vampire Rudolph Sackville-Bagg while on holiday. Despite Tony's nightmares about vampires and Rudi's upbringing to fear mortals, they become friends. Rudi's clan is hunted by vampire hunter Rookery, who has imprisoned most of them in a crypt he plans to blow up. Tony is captured but escapes, learns of the plan, and helps the vampires.
With the aid of Rudi's sister Anna, who enchants Tony's parents, the vampires use the Thompson's caravan to travel by day. Tony steals Rookery's unique spanner to unlock the crypt, and with help from Rudi's brother Gregory, they defeat Rookery and his sidekick Maney. The crypt is destroyed by the bomb, leaving the clan homeless, but Tony suggests they stay at the bed and breakfast where his family was staying.
