DYING TO DEFROST cover image
What a fun, imaginative piece of fantasy although the timeline is a bit confusing since she wants to "go back" to being human, but this story starts at 16000 BC. when humans did not wear the attire shown here. But, that doesn't take away from the fun nature of this animated film.

The storyline is about a poor vampire who has lived through the centuries, apparently in the basement of a house. She's gotten colder and colder every year and is fed up with it to the point that she is ready to do anything to get warm, including becoming human again. She visits an alchemist for a concoction to solve her problem and... you'll have to watch the film to find out what happens.

Fun animation, well executed. Love the color palette of purple, black and grey. The background music is noticeably an integral part of this film, enhancing her every movement and thought. The film is entirely non narrative, which makes the music even more important. With kids' interest in vampires keen right now, the topic is particularly relevant.

The film's message is to follow your goosebumps - I mean your desires - in order to get what you need.

I give this film 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!

This poor vampire has lived through the centuries, freezing down to the marrow! She's at the end of her tether and she's had enough. She's gonna do whatever it takes to feel the warmth on her skin, or it'll be the death of her, AGAIN!!
