I spotted an interesting post at IMDB.com today:
Date: 4 September 2000
Summary: A fantastic film with great costumes and fab special
effects
The little vampire is a thrilling story as a book and it makes a
magical film. The script was full of witty jokes if you approached it with the right attitude. My name is Anna Popplewell and I appeared in the film as 'Anna' so it is no wonder I rate it well. My brother and sister (5) and (9) both loved it and so did an audience full of children at the test screening. It is true that children above 12 may find it a little babyish. There is magic the whole way through the film, not only as the friendship is formed, but also when it is tested. Any child who didn't enjoy this film should watch a little more closely.
