Go Team Vampirina! And a HUGE thank you to everyone for watching!
Vampirina, which is inspired by Disney Publishing’s popular children’s book series “Vampirina Ballerina” by author Anne Marie Pace and illustrator LeUyen Pham, follows a young vampire girl who is tasked with being the new kid in town when her family moves from Transylvania to Pennsylvania.
The series is centered around Vampirina (Vee), voiced by Isabella Crovetti, as she settles into her new surroundings, including making friends and attending a new school. Excited to experience everything that the human world has to offer, Vee will learn that while it may be easier to blend in with her peers, it’s important to celebrate the differences that make everyone unique. Always by her side, Vee’s mom and dad, voiced by Lauren Graham and James Van Der Beek, are also adapting to their new life as proprietors of the local Scare B&B, a bed and breakfast for visiting ghouls and goblins.
