Vampirina

Vampirina follows a bright and brave young vampire whose big move kicks off a new adventure. After leaving Transylvania behind, she and her family relocate to a quiet town in Pennsylvania, trading centuries of bat flights for school days and neighborhood walks. The arrival brings as many giggles as surprises as Vampirina tries to fit in without losing the spark that makes her unique. She makes friends with humans and monsters alike, learns to cope with a new home and a different culture, and discovers that honesty, empathy, and teamwork can turn awkward moments into chances to shine. It’s about growing up and finding where you belong. Her days include visits with friends and adventures at school together.
