THE LITTLE VAMPIRE CHILDREN'S TELEVISION SERIES 13 x HALF HOURS Starring:
Joel Dacks, Christopher Anton, Marsha Moreau, Gert Froebe Based on a novel by Angela Sommer-Bodenburg 13 episodes follow the adventures of Anton, a young boy who forms an unlikely friendship with an old-fashioned kind of alien - not an extraterrestrial from another star system, but a vampire named Rudiger. The series is imaginative, entertaining and with some very special effects, while the story concerns freedom, friendship and forgiveness - eating habits notwithstanding! Vampires, after all, were flying successfully long before human beings achieved any kind of aerial status. With Rudiger's help and a spare vampire cloak, Anton learns to fly - around his bedroom, down the hall, and across the city, but always, of course, after dark!

"Noch
echtes, gutes Kinderfernsehn!!!" - (The
way television for children used to be) (I've
been looking for Videos or DVDs of the series ever since I saw the show
and was fascinated by it) (I
used to looove this show so much back then, the newer stuff don't even
come close) (The
first english show was and always will be the best there ever was about
the "little vampire" (It
brings back so many memories from my childhood, because I saw all the
episodes of the show, I read the books and listened to the tapes. It's
really nice, that there are still so many Fans of Anton, Rudiger, Anna
also. I've always envied Anton, because he had the cape and the flying
powder, I would have liked flying so much!) (I
was born in 1986, the year the show first came out and I used to watch it
when I was 6-7-8 years old! And the whole story of the little vampire
fascinated me ever since. I also had tapes of the radio play, but they
weren't as good as the show. I also watched the other show and the movie,
but nothing ever reached the original show!!) (Ahh,
little Rudiger.. I used to admire him a lot when I was a small child) (It
was a very important part of my childhood. I had a crush on Lumpi [Jim
Gray] back then when I was 9 years old.) (The
first show always was the best - they will never find actors as good as
that.) (The
show used to be one of my favourites when I was young, and even today it
is still in my heart.) (I'm
just about 15 years old but I know almost every episode of the little
vampire. When I was in kindergarten we used to listen to the radio play
and watched the show. Rudiger was my first love back then, I remember that
very well, although it's more then ten years since then. Well, the little
vampire is just way cool - says a fifteen years old female punk...) (The
little vampire was and always will be the best tv show of the world. It
should run daily.) Hab
mittlerweile selbst zwei bluts|sse Kinder und mein dltester Junge 6 Jahre
ist ihm mittlerweile auch verfallen, jipii!![...]Mein Sohn kennt die
neueren B|cher und auch den Kinofilm, aber das ist ja NIX ( !! ) gegen das
ORIGINAL!!" - (I
grew up with the little vampire and it never lost me. Never ever! Now I
have two bloodsweet kids myself and my oldest boy who is 6 years old fell
for it , too. He knows the newer books and the movie but that is nothing
compared to the original [series]) (I've
got all the books on my shelf, but not one episode of this very impressive
tv show. I remember that, back then at school during the lessons we used
to sit in the tv room with the class not to miss only one episode. The
fact that our teachers allowed that clearly shows that the show was cult.) "...
hab (I
felt set back into my childhood. I used to adore the show. I play the
theme song on my piano, wanted to look like Anna and to have vampire
friends like Anton. Even today I still am into vampires and love vampire
movies. The newer "little vampire"-shows don't come close to the
classic version that carried so much atmosphere.) (My
friend the little vampire. Probably the most brilliant childrens tv show
of the world. And seriously: There was nothing we would not have done for
a bite of Anna.) (I
saw every episode. I'm a fan since I was four years old.) (Finally
I got to smell this rotten scent from my childhood again, because I used
to love the show incredibly ( and still do actually!!)) (Still
is my absolute favourite tv showm since I saw it back in 1986. I would be
enormously happy if it would come out on DVD!) (The
little vampire is really the only tv show for children I still watch even
today. But of course only the canadian production from 1986) 1985 |
