BAT AND THE BOY, THE

I really enjoyed this short student animated film. It's off beat and clever.

The story follows a young boy, who, together with his pet pigeon, walk into a cave where they stumble upon a bat like creature who turns out to be a vampire, a youth vampire. Their mutual parents show up to pull them apart but, surprisingly, they establish a friendship that proves to be long lasting.

Very impressive animation work by these young filmmaker. Interesting storyline and great voice overs by the cast. I also love the soundtrack which adds a lot to the story. And, one of my favorite scenes is the one at the very end, showing both families picnicking together, the vampire family all sitting under the shade.

The film's message is that friendship comes in many different flavors, sometimes with people who are completely unlike you.

I give The Bat and the Boy 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
