Reviewer notes

Recommended

Not as good as the first, but it was still entertaining and funny. Draculas daughter has a kid with her human husband. The causes all kinds of new problems for Dracula.

> It's vampa time! Frankly, I was not thinking of writing a review for this. You know, some animated movies come and go unnoticed, so I believed it would be one of those. In fact, I did not like the first film much, that is the reason to watch it so delayedly and with a minimum expectation. Better late than never, well, I regret for viewing it so late. One of the best animation of 2015, maybe in the top 10 or 1...
