A special proposal for the fans of the brave monsters' killer Gabriel Van Helsing and for those, who didn't understand the nice meeting scene of the hero with the ugly person named Mr. Hyde aka Dr. Jekyll on the roof of Notre Dame de Paris at the beginning of
the movie.
The cartoon should be seen as a prologue to the Transylvanian epopee of Van Helsing. A kooky English scientist has driven himself through experiments to a phenomenal split personality: in his natural appearance he is a model of decency, but in the grip of his second guise he turned into a horrible monster with all the signs of a serial maniac and killer. The courageous Van Helsing was given a commission to catch the monster and to bring him alive to Vatican, evidently in order to continue the experiments.
But what is our hero without his true Carl?
Hardly this animation masterpiece could enrich acting technique of Wenham, but to see the animated David is in any case funny.
