The film was one of the first that had a black lead, he is the hero of the film and the one you root for his survival.

Barbara flees and takes refuge in an abandoned farmhouse\u00a0along with\u00a0stranded motorist\u00a0Ben\u00a0and four\u00a0local survivors\u00a0found hiding in the cellar. Together, the group\u00a0must\u00a0fight\u00a0to stay alive against the\u00a0oncoming horde of zombies\u00a0while also confronting their own fears and prejudices.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KP_Az90Uiks\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\"><em><strong>Night of the Animated Dead<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><span class=\"s2\">is a shot by shot adaptation of the original. The dialogue is word for word from <\/span><strong><em><span class=\"s3\">Night of the Living Dead<\/span><\/em><\/strong><span class=\"s2\">. This time however, the themes are more obvious and more stark because it&#8217;s animated. The animation does not allow for significant facial moment, so there is not a lot of nuance. You as the viewer rely solely on the actors voices to convey the scenes. The tension can only be built by the line delivery. In this case, the lack of sounds or even words from certain characters during interactions with Ben is just palpable. At first, you assume it&#8217;s either shock of the situation. Or, maybe it&#8217;s shock by the extremely capable determined Ben showing leadership. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Visually <\/span><span class=\"s3\"><em><strong>Night of the Animated Dead<\/strong><\/em> <\/span><span class=\"s2\">is stunning. The animators do a solid job in the recreation of the characters, not sticking very close to the screen likeness. Since the majority of that original cast have passed away there might have been an issue with using the likeness of a deceased person without consent. <\/span><span class=\"s2\">The vocal performances are also pretty stellar. I was impressed with Dul\u00e9 Hill (<em>The West Wing, Psych<\/em>) as Ben. For most of the movie Ben is the voice of sanity and action. Hill manages to maintain the character&#8217;s measured tones throughout the film.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2060 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/horrorfatale.com\/index.php\/2021\/10\/05\/night-of-the-animated-dead-is-a-visually-awesome-worthy-retelling-hf-review\/notad-ben-tom-harry-helen-radio\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Ben-Tom-Harry-Helen-radio.jpg?fit=640%2C361&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Ben-Tom-Harry-Helen-radio.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Ben-Tom-Harry-Helen-radio.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/horrorfatale.com\/index.php\/2021\/10\/05\/night-of-the-animated-dead-is-a-visually-awesome-worthy-retelling-hf-review\/notad-johnny-barbara-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"363\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Johnny-Barbara-2.jpg?fit=640%2C363&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Johnny-Barbara-2.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Johnny-Barbara-2.jpg?resize=300%2C170&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/horrorfatale.com\/index.php\/2021\/10\/05\/night-of-the-animated-dead-is-a-visually-awesome-worthy-retelling-hf-review\/notad-ben-9\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Ben-9.jpg?fit=640%2C359&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Ben-9.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Ben-9.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/horrorfatale.com\/index.php\/2021\/10\/05\/night-of-the-animated-dead-is-a-visually-awesome-worthy-retelling-hf-review\/notad-judy-5\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"359\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Judy-5.jpg?fit=640%2C359&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Judy-5.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/horrorfatale.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/NOTAD-Judy-5.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">Also, with exception of Helen, the female characters remain annoying and clearly written during a certain time. Barbara is still driven insane and useless, and Judy&#8230; is a nice girl. Although <em><strong><span class=\"s3\">Night of the Living Dead<\/span><\/strong><\/em> was progressive to have a black male lead, the female characters leave little to be admired.
