Anyone else seen this movie? It just premiered on Hulu, I believe.

It's your typical modern-boy-has-an-adventure-in-a-magical-world story, except that it involves Filipino characters and myths (I think). For example the vampires in here are bizarre- they can split in half, with the top half of their bodies flying away (with bat wings) while the legs are left behind on the ground. This sounds like a variation of the penangalang, except that creature is a flying head that leaves its body behind. Maybe this is a more "family-friendly" version?

Anyway, while not extraordinary, it was fun to watch and I recommend it. Also, I'd like to make a page for it but I didn't take notes while watching it so any help (with names etc.) here first would be appreciated. (and yes I googled it, even IMDB wasn't much help.)

This is a dubbed version of the Filipino animated film Dayo: Sa Mundo ng Elementalia (Tourist: In the World of Elementalia) and it is a nice film to tackle Philippine Mythology and know how.

Thanks for the information! Is there any website that could help with researching it?
