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".
在格式化的国漫剧情中难得有现实主义刻画的故事，口号性质的对白略多了一点，练出了肌肉的阿娟好帅！整体是不错的但不至于惊喜，只能说还是有诚意的。动画制作水平和配乐是最大的亮点，and很开心这是第一部跟小刘一起看的电影，所以给四颗星！
I am what I am. 如果这些励志片都是假的，那为什么每次看都让人热血沸腾呢!
两星半。口号太满，鸡血太浓。分数都给纯制作层面。
很喜欢，即使有严重的周星驰痕迹。说实话中途差点落泪，草根孩子有梦想就永远都不会输~
前半段太春晚了，在电影院简直坐立难安。后半段突然情节立体了，故事真实了，人物丰富了……鼓点敲到心里去了。
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。
的确很好，事实证明国产动画别扯大旗别卖弄情怀，好好讲故事加一些俗套也是完全可以拍出好片子来的。不再局限于古代神话尤其是西游记，而是取材自有丰富特色和生命力的地方风俗，辅之以方言和民生，使得故事真正地接地气有活力。尤其是少年为家放弃梦想外出打工的桥段相信能引起不少共鸣，难得在大荧幕上展现底层老百姓的艰辛。学艺和比赛部分有不少有趣的点，可以让人忍俊不禁。最后大赛则是很好地抓住了泪点，尤其是全场鼓声齐作阿娟纵身一跃那一瞬间，病猫乘风化雄狮。全片最大的亮点必然是音乐的选择，《世间始终你好》和《莫欺少年穷》是神来两笔。至于人物造型问题，看到后面谁还在乎美丑。
雄狮造型的真实和细节，以及故事背景的真实，你得知道就算在改革前沿，有依旧有困难伴随。前期的种种铺垫，让我觉得最后越上擎天柱，也是合情合理，是辛苦付出的结果。
1、精准的周星驰式无厘头笑点，生活的艰辛与梦想的热血碰撞的经典剧情，精致流畅的作画和镜头调度，极具特色又恰如其分的配乐。在一个相当俗套的故事下把一切都做到了几乎完美。
场景挺好，编剧不太行。举个小例子，在地铁送快递那一段，作为一个舞狮高手，他的快递是不应该掉的，应该像舞狮一样，稳稳接住，甚至跟成龙电影一样，救一个被高空抛下来的小孩都挺好，既让人物高光，也让女孩和他重遇自然很多。现在这种重遇简直是不可能发生的。
好棒！本土热血动画就该这么搞。配乐非常好。
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
相当优秀！说角色设计辱华的人，谢谢你们为该片的宣发推波助澜。
虽然剧情上还是比较套路，但给人的感觉真的太燃了，近年来难得优秀的国漫，最让人印象深刻的，还是致敬星爷的元素，前期《功夫》的城乡风，中期《少林足球》的励志，后期《长江七号》的艰辛，都很星爷，以及那个咸鱼脚，可谓是非常无厘头幽默了，最后结局没有展示奖项，也避免了俗套
73//还是鼓励性四星。主观上太反感表演上的瑕疵，以至于难以识得剧作妙处，但确中意最后的30分钟——第三幕的热闹真是漂亮：主要角色互相关注或被关注，人物身上被洒满有温度目光，且他们用耀眼的姿态回报观众期待；最后一个悬念出现时，善良的群像用干净的激情将鼓点打出如心脏砰砰的石破天惊；舞狮化作英雄花，神气以真狮显形，阿娟入了水，而狮头悬于擎天柱——对于引起观众的狂喜，这是多浪漫多可爱的写法。
国漫崛起，留一星给细节的不足吧，比如细节鞋子的问题，以及环境地域的关系，但总体已经非常好看了。
3.5。喜欢朴素的部分。©孙海鹏、张苗、九连真人到场。
画面、人物、节奏没话说，难能可贵将镜头对准了底层、留守儿童。故事稍弱，缺乏真实感，导致缺乏深度。但作为国产动画，他的优点已经足够五星了！
标准的“孩子”成长为“大人”的故事，没有什么奇迹发生，happyending的结局背后，也铺垫了很多主人公们的努力和积累；最后一越更多的是勇气，每个人也继续回归了生活。有类似少年漫的燃、搞笑和中二，也有现实题材的落地，非常难得
带了一点期待去的，前半场观众笑得我有点自我怀疑，特别是旁边女孩子的声音完全入侵了我的观影体验，甚至想到雪崩的时候没有一片雪花是无辜的，所有让我对这部片子抱有期待走进电影院的人都有责任！不过没想到能在电影院听到有几年都没听过的九连真人
