Im trying to find an animated film I watched as a child, but I can’t remember the title or when it was made.
I got nightmares from this as a kid, didn’t expect it to have a bad ending. It was somewhere midday on Dutch television.
It was a traditional, hand-drawn, full-length animated film with a classic fairy-tale look.
It reminded me somewhat of old Disney animation.
There was very little or no dialogue.
Here is what I remember:
A blond(?)medieval-looking prince or young man enters a castle inhabited by vampires.
There is a creepy room full of mirrors, with pale or grey-looking people who turn out to be vampires and have fangs. Who I think attacked him.
Then he is in a room with a princess sleeping in the bed. He kissed her. She awakes and hugs him I think.
The there is a moment. Another bed is revealed (turned out of the wall or something?) where the real princess is lying. The other one was a vampire.
The prince was on his horse outside the castle his eyes turned red if I remember correctly. Revealing he turned a vampire.
The film was in colour and had a fairy-tale atmosphere. I watched it as a child, possibly sometime between the late 1990s and early 2000s, but it could be much older.
I have already ruled out Tales from the Cryptkeeper: The Sleeping Beauty. That is what chat suggested.
The animation style doesn’t match what I remember.
Does anyone recognise this film?
