Why would anyone try to remake a classic using sub-par animation and attempting to copy everything from the original? There's basically no change from the 1968 Romero film, which would have been OK if it had tried to advance the story or told it from a different perspective. The animation is laughable with clunky movements and overly simplistic character depictions. I love the original film, but this was terrible.

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. HORRIBLE ANIMATION... HORRIBLE, JUST PLAIN HORRIBLE.

Who does this movie exist for? Anyone can easily find Night of the Living Dead and there's really no need for it to be nearly shot for shot remade with more in your face gore and overacted voiceovers. Sure, you get to see what happened in front of Beekman's Diner, but otherwise, all this movie adds is more viscera to the proceedings. The characters look beyond flat and the only thing that the ones that look like the original actors will do is make you want to just watch the black and white classic that this shamelessly copies. Jason Axinn made To Your Last Death which had so much more going for it than this effort. Lack of effort, maybe. About the only thing to watch this movie for is to see who takes over each voice. Barbara is Katharine Isabelle from Ginger Snaps and her brother Johnny is Jimmi Simpson from Westworld. Dulé Hill is Ben, while Harry and Helen Cooper are played by Josh Duhamel and Nancy Travis. Tom is James Roday Rodriguez and Judy is Katee Sackhoff while MAD TV comedian Will Sasso is Sheriff McClelland. Otherwise, this is an overly referential version of the original film that would have been better off if it Ralph Bakshi rotoscoped the inspiration and just made it look more cartoonish. New movie fans won't have any need to see this and fans of the original will undoubtedly be upset with the fact that this offers little new. Instead, all it does is give you more: more blood, more internal organs, more animated bodies that feel like they float instead of moving like people. Also take a look at that great art on the cover. You're not getting anything like that in this cartoon.

As a huge fan of Night of the Living Dead, I like to explore all forms of media from fan films to radio dramas, comics etc. This is nearly perfect to what I wanted out of an animated NOTLD! The animation is a style I prefer over most modern animation; similar to that of many 80s and 90s cartoons. Not far off from the style of the 90s Scooby-Doo animated movies, which I also love. The weakest part were the voice performances in my opinion but I truly loved the movie over all.

This is an animated feature based on the original black and white classic. Very true to the original. Cheaper than colorizing the original. Nothing really new to see here. Why?

I thought it was pretty good.. In my opinion the animation was not up to date because the movie was set in the 1960s so it was done to keep up with that date.

Seriously, who green-lit this garbage? The animation is some of the worst I've ever seen.

Seriously. Just watch the original movie and appreciate everything that made it the classic horror film that it is. Or watch the Rifftrax version with some friends. This version is basically a shot-for-shot remake of the classic movie with janky animation, middling gore effects, and uninspired voice acting. There's none of the atmosphere or tension found in the original, and not because of the animated format -- it simply doesn't do anything with the source material.
