Excelente pelicula de muñequitos cubanos. :O)
Me acuerdo muy bien del dia que vi esta pelicula en Cuba por los años 1985 o 1986, yo tenia unos 11 o 12 años de edad. Fuí al cine con un grupo de amigos a verla, casi nos morimos de la risa de lo tan comica que estaba la pelicula, estubimos casi todo el tiempo riendonos. Muy buena pelicula animada cubana acerca de 'vampiros' y no vampiros que vivian en la Habana por los años 1950s. "Vampiros en la Habana" es una pelicula muy comica y divertida con el humor y chispa cubana a todo meter.
La recomiendo a todo cubano en general y a todo caribeño. Y a todo el mundo que se quiera mear de la risa.
A colorful vampiric satire
"Vampires in Havana," written and directed by Juan Padron, is a marvelous animated horror-comedy. The version I have seen is in Spanish, with English subtitles. The story revolves around a vampire scientist who has invented a formula--"Vampisol"--that gives vampires immunity from the deadly rays of the sun. The professor's nephew Joseph, who is the successful "guinea pig" for the experimental formula, finds himself in the middle of a war between rival vampire factions that have an interest in Vampisol.
Bawdy, outrageous, and witty, "Vampires in Havana" effectively spoofs the conventions of vampire films while, at the same time, creating a marvelously multilayered portrait of an international vampire subculture. Artificial indoor vampire beaches, vampire dogs, and other wacky elements are effectively blended into the plot. Capitalistic greed and authoritarian violence are cleverly satirized in the film. Excellent vocal performances, a terrific musical soundtrack, and a charmingly crude animation technique all add to the film's appeal. If you're in the mood for something really offbeat, check out this film.
