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".
看到一部还不错的动画的全部讨论点变成人物形象是否乳化真是太不爽了。画面舒服，调度、分镜都可圈可点。编剧的提升空间还很大。
每个千篇一律的日子里，都需要一种执念般的爱来支撑；
9分，难道出身一定决定命运吗？不，未来是靠自己奋斗打拼出来的。从“病猫”到“雄狮”，一路的艰辛坎坷只为证明自己的价值。鼓点自在心中，咆哮自在胸中，只有自立自强，才能得到他人的尊重。
因为影片中浓得化不开的粤味，影评都要强调向周星驰致敬吗？我倒不觉得，周星驰从来是天马行空，反而能看出《功夫熊猫》的影子。这部动画片非常贴地气，在广东票房市场表现似乎一般，令人诧异。
乐夏自选岭南关键词满分作文（bushi，反正歌选得真太好了！前半段时不时尬，后半段持续热血，结尾漂亮！没有强行大美满真是太好了，我们接受不可改变的，但也从未停止前行的步伐
四星半，我很難得誇國產動畫的，又燃又接地氣，希望未來的原創動畫電影都是這個水準
如果有让人感觉热血沸腾的话，那应该是真的吧。听到这句话，又觉得真真切切被煽到了，哪怕只有一瞬间呢，那也都是真的啊，真的励志，真的不服输，真的在扬眉吐气啊，小人物的故事永远是激动人心，哪怕沾染上这么多现实中的是是非非。
3颗半 有出彩的段落 但节奏还是很垮 台词还是很尬
让不漂亮的普通人被注视，应该是它最大的价值之一，而不是遭受非议的原因所在。
画质不错，比《白蛇缘起》强，+4分；这部动画片越来越像美国好莱坞、迪士尼、皮克斯的（电影）动画+1分（“你终于变成你最讨厌的人”），再+1分给片尾曲。然而，从意识形态的角度看，要-1分。这部动画中反映了一些中国的社会问题：城乡二元结构对立，阶（级）层贫富差距，农民工，弱势群体维权，留守儿童等。如果直白地表达这些问题，这部动画就无从过审。因此，它通过编织一个“梦”来变相解决（掩盖）了这些问题。美国能出现《神探亨特》这样的电影，说明它的治安根本不好；那么目前《雄狮少年》的出现，只能说明中国没能解决这些问题。它所要励志的，正是没能解决也无法解决的。至于人物长相如何“辱华”，抱歉真是没看出来，非得把人物眼睛做得像日本动漫人物那么大才叫不辱华吗？而且这动画又不是每个人物都长那样的眼睛。
远超期待，一改国产动画的浮夸，对市井的描绘真实且自成风格，人物性格尤其是怕老婆的部分拿捏精准，一度有种在看真人电影的错觉。九连真人和五条人的配乐非常熨帖带感。结尾回归生活的彩蛋也的恰到好处。真正把镜头对准了主流商业电影很少触碰的底层人物。能看到《黄飞鸿》甚至《百鸟朝凤》的影响，虽然故事陈旧，但是瑕不掩瑜，感觉是近期国产动画的天花板，岁末惊喜！
如监制张苗先生所说“审美要有底线，也要有创新”，这个创新很可，无滤镜真实生活。
人物外形尤其女性太粗糙（很多女性特写镜头让人不舒服），头发细节不够，明明舞狮根根毛发都能做到随风摆动
声光影都很强，鼓励。希望国漫在逃离经典神话IP之后，渐渐找到更广阔的题材。当然也希望在剧情和主题上能慢慢逃离童年期，从港片的余晖中跳脱出来，从单一的【励志、鸡血、少年、口号、燃】这一堆被嚼烂的主题词中跳出来，讨论更深刻的主题。希望早日看到属于我们自己的《COCO》和《心灵奇旅》
四星半。如果说对待国产动画，之前我们还处于种种原因沿用着和国际动画不同的评价标准，那么《雄狮少年》之后，这个标准可以统一了（也从侧面印证出周星驰在不同时代具有多么旺盛的生命力）。
热血漫，挺燃的，导演很懂配乐，九连真人和椅子乐团的成名曲，还有毛不易的歌对剧情都有增色，该有的基础套路都有，该有的共情点恰到好处让感情持续上升，最后结尾的价值观取向很正，要相信朋友，做好自己的事，共同进步，再搭档才能跃升，舞狮是精神，是生活中的一部分，生活还是要踏踏实实地奋斗。
粤语版，配乐一起就要哭，看完就想听《狮子山下》
内地难得的现实主义题材动画！技术过硬，场景渲染细腻，动作设计流畅，光影运用纯熟，人物造型不网红，既有辨识度又可爱，阿娟的平头很帅啊！音乐加分，五条人和九连真人首尾呼应、恰到好处，唢呐一起，立马嗨！故事虽然是看似老套的燃炸热血少年励志，但底色落在现实中，不悬浮，没有盲目煽情，比较克制！尤其是片尾阿娟掉入水中以及彩蛋都非常重要！生活需要一点点小奇迹，就像那束穿过高楼大厦的阳光，它可以支撑普通而平凡的人们继续脚踏实地，与命运抗争！个人感觉非常适合内地选送去参加奥斯卡外语片。（毕竟哪吒也选过）五星鼓励！Ps：还好今天下午看了，晚上全城电影院就因为疫情关闭了。💔(;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)
当今社会的确需要这样一部作品提提气——「创造奇迹」，哪怕一次而已。民俗+打工题材+底层关怀，老生常谈的岭南叙事，一如舞狮般保守安全。周星驰&老港片含量过高，许多台词刚说几字，便能对出下文。当「咸鱼脚」带味亮相，第一反应便是《功夫》的「如来神掌」——两部作品，高下立判。彩蛋联想到贾樟柯式的Still Life。最喜片中两处：三人骑车送阿娟，造型设计非常惊艳，闪回也觉值得；猛狮见大佛，如李安的少年派，清醒又慈悲。唯二女性角色印证片名：一个可谓丈夫梦想的「绊脚石」，表面彪悍实则奉献；另一个是为了男主而生的工具人，甚至与男主共享一个名字。大胆猜测：莫非她是杨箕猎德村的拆迁户大佬？OST精彩且具功能性，五条人的潮汕话，九连真人的客家话，椅子乐团的粤语，港乐《世间始终你好》……啊好一个和谐的大湾区！7
年底的惊喜，废话不多，就是燃，就是热血，就是好看！希望大家都去看！
