The Movie:
The three US-Americans Andy, Brad and Chris are on a trip through Europe and end up in Paris. On the Eiffel Tower, Andy saves a young beauty's life. Unfortunately, she turns out to be a werewolf... What can be said about American Werewolf? Somehow, it was better in my memory. The story is not exactly creative and the actors seem quite wooden, except maybe the pretty funny Julie Bowen (Amy). Animations: Naturally, the workprint lacks a lot of animations. In order not to mention the same things over and over again, different aspects of this will be mentioned here but not in the comparison itself: Werewolves: They are not always animated, sometimes this also affects the surrounding.
Moon: It is sometimes half animated, sometimes completely removed.
The shots depicting the werewolves' point of view feature a yellow filter on the DVD.
