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".
好声音向歌舞剧进发。音乐、舞美还是很棒，但剧情实在太水了。（考拉简直就是招摇撞骗满嘴跑火车的小骗子，只是因为主角光环就能随随便便靠别人去成全他的梦想）
有点失望。第一部看了三遍，特别喜欢。第二部故事还可以，没有突破，就狮子唱歌有点泪点，但歌曲几乎没有特别好听的。
本来觉得一很普通这部要不是去电影院附近办事没别的可看了压根没打算看，但是出乎意料蛮 high 的。片子里的那场音乐戏真是大制作，而且平衡得很好如何把彩排和实演做得完全没有重复感。虽然故事是 typical 套路动物合家欢卖萌，但是看个乐够了。
起码歌是好听的！从没在一个电影里听到这么多流行歌，但还是轻松快乐～
想不到这个动画居然有续集，励志群像剧的续集总是很难拍，因为续貂就意味着要把主角们从上一部的巅峰再次踢回山脚。这个续集也不例外。所有矛盾和困难都很勉强，歌舞部分还是不错的。
第二集其实没那么差，只是第一部的套路第二部再用就让人没有新鲜感而已。 还是被这群动物所感动，不屈不挠的去达成一个根本不可能的目标，哪怕路上遇到再多阻碍再大困难，他们也没想过退缩，只是兵来将挡水来土掩，竭尽全力实现目标。 印象最深的是第一部moon剧院被毁，歌剧生涯跌倒谷底，觉得自己一无是处，愧对父亲时，还能鼓起勇气重拾父亲旧业，去大街上擦车，体会父亲的心酸，忍受别人的奚落，这种巨大落差没有人生阅历的人是不会体会的，这不仅需要莫大的忍耐力，还需要一颗永不会被摧毁永远能从零开始向目标进发的强大心脏。
简单俗套的故事，听听歌，解解压还可以 就是团队音乐的力量·
就是看个热闹，没有第一部那么励志和催泪了，然后反派实惨。
歌还不错，有不少流行歌。
3.5分，最后结局是没想到，另外导演学院味很强
Be better, Be cooler！~
这片花了不少钱在音乐版权上吧……但是好多都是原声，连翻唱都变少了
獅王為啥聽了首歌就出山了？為啥小狼哭泣之後被蜥蜴秘書一喊就肯過來演出了？算了聽歌就完事了，別在意情節。最後的大秀還真的挺好看的。而且我特別喜歡小狼porsha和一群眼鏡猴的踢踏舞。
我只是想拯救一下我的不开心，这部电影做到了，并且让人心生激动。从逻辑关系来讲有特别牵强的地方，但动画电影的标签可以把那些部分给弱化抹去，并强化视觉去完成更难的场景建设。我爱这锅金曲炖煮，我也爱这个核心主题。当成年人那么无趣的设定了限制了以后，动画或成战鼓，或成慰藉。
电影挺好看，也是两位影帝作为男一，男二，对手戏很多，演技也好。一众配角都是熟悉的面孔！一段韩国的政治历史，在刚刚结束韩国大选的当下看，还是常看常新。台上的候选人，口号喊得震天响，但是面对对手的攻击，手段都能上得了台面么，是不是也需要“影子”做一些脏活累活自己不方便出面的事情呢！如果现在都如此，在互联网，资讯不发达的60-70-80年代是不是更有见不得光的事情呢！韩国经历的独裁统治时间长，历任在野党候选人经历几十年的努力在90年代末期才搬倒了执政党，在野党首次上台执政也太不容易了！韩国的几部政治电影都挺好看，韩影甩开我们很大的差距了
如果国内上映，你们可以在商城再逛1个小时再进场，前边不看都无所谓，最后半个小时的内容看了就够了
它失去爱很久了，它还很疲惫，长途跋涉到这里和你相见，只为了逝去一切，独自走过的时光，为了自己也为了你唱一首歌。它会在舞台上闪一点光，就像冬日清晨壁炉里即将燃尽的火花，但那点火花足够引燃你。你知道它一直疲惫，它一直疲惫不堪地等待曲终人散的那一天，那一天才是属于它真正的重逢之日。而你会一直想念，永远想念，直到你们也再次重逢。
whatever happens,we still got music. 🪵
3.5，Out of this World的创意和结构比电影本身更吸引人
三星半水准，还是靠波洛的献声提高了半颗星。比诸于2016年的第一部而言，故事没有了新意，从小城市顶尖到大城市的中流水平，然后大融合各种风格不断壮大自己的母题很好，但是构建剧情的时候很多情绪没有调度到位，事件推进剧情，情绪处理得略微潦草。还有就是整个舞台呈现出来的视觉不好，不仅仅显得冗长，而且四个章节太一板一眼，不如第一部台上台下各种矛盾交相呼应来得圆熟。
