What happens

Van Helsing: The London Assignment is a 2004 American anime-influenced adult action horror animated short film distributed by Universal Studios Home Video and animated by Universal Cartoon Studios, Production I.G, and Sunwoo Entertainment. An animated prequel to the 2004 motion picture Van Helsing (released in the same year), it features the voices of Hugh Jackman, Tress MacNeille, Robbie Coltrane and David Wenham, with the former and latter, along with Alun Armstrong, reprising their roles from the film as Gabriel Van Helsing, Friar Carl, and Cardinal Jinette respectively. The short film received mostly positive reviews, with some noting it to be a significant improvement to that of the original film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
