Vampirina

This is a fun show for toddlers and children, and tolerable for adults. My two year old LOVES this show, and sings along with the characters.

I am a 32 year old mom of a three year old and this is our new thing and I am so happy it exists. The singing the dancing and the values are perfect. I want my daughter to know that books should not be judged by their cover. Vampires, werewolves, and mummies are not real but the way we define them as different is relatable to how kids view someone who does not look like them. A monster is not what someone appears to be by their looks and while I know they call themselves monsters I do not want my daughter to be scared of something different. Also I think a life size talking mouse is much scarier for the record.

"...it may seem strange but it's true, I'm just like you" so I explain to my son that he's a bloodsucking undead ghoul too.

"Vampirina" is a kids show about tolerance and accepting oneself even tho you may be very different from those around you. These are great, positive messages that are espoused by many kids shows these days. That's all fine and good, but this particular show is very unoriginal. This premise (monsters living among regular people and the antics that ensue) has been done before. It's basically "The Addams Family" or "The Munsters" but geared towards kids. Most kids are probably not familiar with either of those shows, and it's entertaining enough for my son to watch - for now he likes it (he's almost 5), but we'll see how much he enjoys it when it's not so new. As a parent tho, as far these Disney Jr shows go, "Vampirina" is NOT one of my favs.

I believe people are too shallow about the vampire thing. It's a friendly Halloween-ish show that teaches your kids tolerance and quite entertaining. Apparently parents need to be taught tolerance as well.
