Vampirina is an American-Irish computer-animated fantasy television series that premiered on Disney Junior on October 1, 2017. The show is based on the Vampirina Ballerina series of books written by Anne Marie Pace and illustrated by LeUyen Pham, published by Disney-Hyperion. Disney Junior announced the series in March 2016, and features much of the staff that has worked on fellow series Doc McStuffins.[1]

Episodes
 | This section may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Episode summaries need to be written in proper English, with normal capitalization for words that are not proper nouns. Also, per WP:TVPLOT, we have somewhere in the 150-200 word range to flesh out summaries so we don't feel locked into one-sentence log lines. (October 2017) |
