If you aren’t an animation snob like myself, then I think you will have a lot more fun with Night of the Animated Dead. It stays very true to the source material while having just a little bit of fun with it.

Night of the Animated Dead is more graphically violent than the original, but aside from this and a minimalist (either due to style or economy) animation style, there's nothing much different from this and the 1968 Night of the Living Dead.

I don't know if this is entirely necessary... but there are elements to it you don't get from the original movie. You do get extra gore, which is the biggest selling point.

While the shot-by-shot approach makes it feel somewhat unnecessary, it at least reminds us why the original is so indelible, reinventing a genre while touching lightly on very pointed issues.
