Mina and the Count Complete 1-Disc Box Set DVD

Mina and the Count Complete brings home the late-1990s and early-2000s gothic-flavored animated short series, a charming, weirdly heartfelt tale of friendship between a small human girl and the mournful, capable, mostly inept Count Vladimir Dracula whose attempts to feast on her are constantly interrupted by their unlikely bond. The texture is sharp and unmistakably designed, with bold character animation, a comic register that splits the difference between gentle horror and family-friendly affection, and a tone that finds its identity in the absurd warmth at the center of its premise.
