THE LITTLE VAMPIRE

Cert U ★★

Digital and disc Monday This bloodless animation about a teen friendship between a Transylvanian vampire and a US holidaymaker offers thin pickings.

As they team up to rescue the vampire’s clan from a pair of inept villains, magic spells compete with mechanical contraptions such as the infra-dead vampire locating device, and I could have done with much more of the fun offered by the weaponised vampire-cow poo.

It’s so insubstantial it won’t cast a shadow in your memory, but it’s harmless and doesn’t totally suck.

Perhaps one for the rainiest day of half-term.
