Disney Vampirina Review

Meet the newest girl on the Disney Junior block in VAMPIRINA,now on DVD.  Vampirina, the vampire girl, is anxious to meet some human friends when she moves from Transylvania to Pennsylvania. She is nervous about fitting in and “acting human.”  This show is perfect for little ones who want to enjoy the Halloween season just like the big kids.  Vampirina’s spooky friends Gregoria the Gargoyle, Demi the Ghost and Wolfie the werewolf dog make it tricky for her to fit in, but Vampirina’s parents try their best.  I love the theme of not judging others just because they look different or have different backgrounds. Her friends like her even if she can change into a bat.  Vampirina is proud of who she is, and she loves her family even if they look different than the neighbors. The episodes have entertaining songs that will have little ones dancing and singing along.  This Disney Junior show is fun for everyone and will surely be a hit at your house.  Perhaps grown-ups can learn a little from Vampirina and her friends and get along with each other no matter what their differences are.  Fly on out to the store and pick up a copy of Disney’s VAMPIRINA. It is fang-tastic!
