In the vampire city of Saruta the sun never rises, and all the vampire children love trying to stay up late. Precocious vampire Hipira Kun and his best friend, a fairy named Soul, make an odd couple, playing games and pranks that even the other denizens consider extraordinary. But Hipira"s world isn"t all dark. He and Soul find the bright spots in this nether region, and fill their world with wonder, fun, and heart. With top-notch art that rivals the best animated features on the silver screen, Hipira: The Little Vampire offers a delightfully bright twist on traditionally dark subject matter, in the spirit of The Nightmare Before Christmas and Monsters, Inc.
