Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
个人今年看的第一部电影，本以为是给小孩子看的，所以没有太高的期待，但看完发现被打脸了。这部电影不仅做到了老少皆宜，而且在人与人、人与物之间的关系上充满了奇思妙想，下次班级里的绘画课素材有了!
看着挺暖的。继续加油啊。
非常可爱又有趣的电影，我也因为排片和热度好运的包了一场。每个小故事简单而不简陋，美术风格各具特色，算是冲刷了这些年日本动画在我脑中的烙印。故事情节多是苦中作乐，对我来说虽然有些感动，但也难免有些单调。
温情的动画总能在冬日里带来一丝感动，但还是感觉有点儿偏低龄化了。最喜欢刘毛宁的“外婆的蓝色铁柜”
少点站在大人角度的回忆会更好 最喜欢第一章
只有《小兔的问题》是以女孩口吻展开讲述的——1:6——嘿嘿，咱女的从绘本年纪就知道自己不重要了，做不了主角呀（没有不满。最喜欢《外婆》画风，分明而饱满的乡间色彩也与我自己的童年外婆记忆深度重叠了。另外令我疑惑的是《糖水铺》众(当地)人坚持讲粤普的意义在——？明明《小火车》一整集都在自在地讲四川话，难道是默认全国人都听得懂川渝口音吗？利申：本人绝无歧视内陆腔调倾向，而且，每一part都有中文字幕的。
樊登推荐，专门来看。第一感觉，故事稍微低幼了一些，都是十分简单的故事，更加适合带上小朋友去看。不过后面的两个故事，哼哈二将，还有发生在南京的的故事，稍微好一些了。基本上是复古的动画风格，水墨和油画风，可以看看吧！
照亮童年，为爱发光！七位导演取材原创绘本改编七个短片，以爱为主轴串联，从不同视角讲述“我和我的童年”。该片聚焦亲子关系、人与自然、兄弟手足、睦邻之情、异地成长等故事题材，用水墨、剪纸、水彩等不同的艺术形式，
一整个在影院哭惨了，那只在相框里蹦蹦跳跳的兔子，被萤火虫照亮的司机大伯，双胞胎小朋友的哼哈二将，外婆的蓝箱子轮椅，小朋友无畏的小火车，蒯老伯的香甜的糖水，还有最后结尾在南京的重庆一家人，江南公交的站台，扬子公交锈蚀的站牌，南京长江大桥，清江花园，南京成片成片的法国梧桐，让人热泪盈眶。
尊重、敬佩、感动每一个还在坚持做独立动画的人
之后线上看完补上吧
太好了！！！很喜欢 外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅 看哭了 刘毛宁导演真的很会做这种充满回忆的故事 哼将军和哈将军也太有意思了 本来以为只是想做神话题材 最后面才知道原来是双胞胎的故事 所有的片子都很平淡 充满生活的气息 想回家了
第一次带儿子一起看动画片，七个根据绘本改编的小故事温暖又感人，小时候的感觉又回来了。真实，而又靠近心灵深处的一面，似乎被掀开。天真，无邪，童趣，自由，成长，陪伴，感悟。父母和孩子、亲人之间感情深厚。
第一次看原创绘本改编的电影，有几个印象深刻的作品。《外婆的蓝色铁皮柜轮椅》把我和朋友都看哭了，很多回忆浮现，看字幕是作者自己配的旁白，不那么专业但是很打动我。《蒯老伯的糖水铺》，非常喜欢里面那个转场处理，邻里之间的氛围也很到位，温馨美好，想到以前去广州买糖水的时候了。《哼将军和哈将军》很有趣，想象力丰富，画风好，最后落点也很棒。《小火车》也不错。几部作品的方言都很加分。

喜欢小火车那个故事，很感人。糖水铺和哼哈二将的故事也很有意思。
国内的动画片总是改不了低龄化的倾向，这类作品大人不看，小孩子不喜欢，大抵只有6岁之前的孩童才看。这里面又充斥着说教、真善美，一如春节联欢晚会，无限拔高，假意煽情，可惜了配乐和脚本，投入的钱都丢到水里
像是一场动画电影大展，一开始的小兔子充满童趣，被小火车的表达戳中泪点，最喜欢哼将军和哈将军，可可爱爱又合情合理，剪纸的画风大赞！蒯大爷的糖水铺最温情，把人拉入那个不怎么富裕但却充实而又充满生机和奔头的旧时光。总之，永远相信，会有光！
鼓励鼓励鼓励鼓励鼓励鼓励！
7个作品各有亮点，有经典的水墨画风，有治愈的彩铅画，《小火车》丑的出奇的3d动画，故事却感动到泪目。我最喜欢的是《外婆的..轮椅》，平静的旁白讲着童年的故事，配合小学课本插画的画风，是90后的味道。《翼娃子的星期天》则将目光放在务工家庭的儿童上，流露出的人文关怀引人深思，这也是只有中国动画创作者才能创作出的题材。好希望每个章节可以出独立动画电影~翼娃子出连环画也行。
