''Vampirina'' is a Disney Junior show based on the Vampirina Ballerina children's books which premiered on October 1, 2017. Developed by ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'' creator Chris Nee, the show is about a young vampire girl named Vampirina Hauntley (nicknamed Vee) as she and her family move from Transylvania to Pennsylvania to open a bed and breakfast for visiting ghouls and goblins. Along the way, Vee navigates her way through the human world with help from her family and friends, all while keeping her monster identity a secret while trying to fit in with human culture.
----
!!''Vampirina'' contains examples of:

* AbsenteeActor: Of all the main characters, Vee is the only one to appear in every single episode.
* ActuallyNotAVampire: In "The Ghoul Next Door", the Hauntleys and the Peeplesons get new neighbors, whom Edgar believes are vampires from Transylvania. Even the Hauntleys start to wonder if they might be, since they know certain types of vampires that tend to keep to themselves. But it turns out they're humans.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Vee's family has pale gray skin in the books, while their skin is light blue here.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Frights, Camera, Action! " for Edgar,
* {{Adorkable}}:
** Demi the ghost is quite an excitable and nerdy little guy.
** Vee is socially awkward, but she looks cute when doing so.
** Even Mr. Gore gets in on this. "Vee Is For Valentine" and its partner episode show his nerdier side that makes him rather endearing.
** Bridget definitely embraces this trope whenever she gets excited, or tries covering up her nervous behavior.
* AnAesop: Every episode has one.
* AffectionateNickname: Vee's full name is Vampirina Hauntley, but everyone calls her Vee.
* AllCGICartoon: Like with ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'' , the show is done in CGI provided by Brown Bag Films.
* AlliterativeName: Poppy Peepleson.
* AlphabetNewsNetwork: '''T'''ransylvania '''N'''ews '''N'''etwork.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Vampirina and her parents have light blue skin.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Edgar and Poppy's family. "Nanpire the Great" and Poppy's features imply they are half-Latino, half-black.
* ArtShift: The Ghoul Girls Rock shorts are done in a flash/hand drawn style instead of CG.
* ArtisticLicenseGeography: "Look Who's Scared Now!" has the characters refer to Pennsylvania as a town, instead of a state; in addition, the town's color is said to be pink and official mascot is a bear; in reality, Pennsylvania's state colors are blue and gold and the official state mascot is the Nittany Lion.
** Though Pennsylvania could also be the name of town the series takes place in, AND it's in the state of the same name. And pink and the bear could be the ''town'''s color and mascot respectively.
* BabysittingEpisode: "Little Terror" has Vee taking care of her baby cousin Nosy.
* BeachEpisode: "Beach Night" has the Hauntleys and the Peoplesons going on a trip to the beach together. However, the Hauntleys can't go to the beach without their special sunscreen. Without it, they get the Batties. They forget the sunscreen, so they derail the trip several times so they can get to the beach at night. Later, the entire cast has a "beach night" party.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: Poppy is the beauty, Vee is the brains, and Bridget is the brawn.
* BirthdayEpisode: "Desserter Mystery" is about Nanpire's birthday.
* BlackComedy: A considerably downplayed example considering its target demographic, but it's not uncommon for Vee to accidentally mention things like "I'm dying to try this out" or "Let's knock them dead" when she's really trying to say that she's excited for something.
* {{Bowdlerise}}: An in-universe example occurs in "Two Heads Are Better Than One". The loser for each event during the Transylvanian Friendship Festival usually suffer some type of minor curse, one of which involves a dragon. Bridget is understandably freaked out, and Gregoria changes it to simply using a stopwatch to measure the time.
* CompetitionFreak: Implied with Edna. In "Beast In Show", she's slightly insensitive to Vee when thinking she was going to watch the dog show with Wolfie instead of taking part in it. In "Hauntleyween", she does genuinely congratulate the family for winning the haunted house contest, though there's a slight tone in her voice that gives off the vibe of really wanting to win.
* CoolTeacher: The first teacher we meet, Mr. Gore, is a nice fellow who reacts with startlement and sincere gratitude that Vee brought him a snapdragon which actually snaps. He makes genuine attempts to make Vee feel welcome and included.
* CrossReferencedTitles: An episode is called "Nanpire the Great", is followed by a later episode named "Nanpire ''and Grandpop'' the Greats".
* CurseEscapeClause: In "Bat Got Your Tongue", Vee has to speak the truth in order to heal her hoarse voice.
* DarkIsNotEvil: It's a show centering on a family of vampires, but given the demographic, they're naturally friendly.
* DeadpanSnarker: Gregoria, one of the gargoyles in Vee's house.
* DidYouGetANewHaircut: In "Vampire Weekend," after Vee and Poppy switch places in being a human and a vampire, Demi asks them this.
* EasterSpecial: "The Great Egg Scramble" involves a dragon egg getting mixed up into an Easter egg hunt.
* EpicFail: Edgar once posted his goldfish at his web show. Even his grandma wouldn't give it a thumbs-up.
* ExpressiveHair: Vee’s bat wing pigtails droop whenever she’s sad or upset.
* FantasticRacism: Vee's aunts and the Transylvanian boy band seem to express dislike of humans. Since Vee try to keep humans away from the former, while the latter looks down on Vee for living among humans.
* FreakOut: The Hauntleys get a case of the "battys" when nervous or frightened, causing them to change into bats and back nonstop.
* FingerlessGloves: Vee wears them. Even her pajamas have long sleeves with thumbholes to allude to such gloves.
* FishOutOfWater: The Hauntleys are trying to fit into human society.
* FlyingCar: The family car is a hearse with bat wings. It flew them from Transylvania to Pennsylvania.
* {{Foil}}: Poppy and Bridget both act as foils to each other as Vee's friends. While both are doggedly nice girls, the former is confident, genre savvy, and slightly insensitive when trying to help out while the latter is more introverted and scared, yet still empathic, often acting as Vee's conscience.
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Demi often forgets at times that as a ghost he can go through walls.
* ForgottenAnniversary: Subverted in "Vampi-versary" . Vee ''thinks'' her parents forgot their anniversary as she tries recreating their first date. In actuality, they did remember and were trying to get each other a gift.
* FreakyFridayFlip: "Vampire Weekend" has Vee and Poppy switch places, with the former becoming a human while the latter becomes a vampire, all through the use of a moon pendant. It also [[NoodleIncident happened to Gregoria and Demi]] once, which [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain she doesn't like talking about]].
* FriendlyGhost: Demi. That is all.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: Vampirina's family are actually vampires, including Vampirina herself, who were very friendly.
* FullNameUltimatum: Edna sternly says Edgar's full name, "Edgar Allan Peopleson", to him in the episode "Ghost Hosts".
* GenkiGirl: Vee's a little ball of energy and optimism.
* GoldenSnitch: In "The Great Egg-Scramble", the kids enter an egg-hunting contest where the first prize goes to the contestant who finds more eggs unless a contestant finds the golden egg. If it's found, its finder is automatically declared the winner.
* GoodParents: Vee has loving parents who support her endeavors.
* HalloweenEpisode: "Hauntleyween" has Vee's family throw a Halloween party, and everyone thinks the monsters there are just people in costumes.
* HamsterWheelPower: For a science fair, Edgar decides to power a light bulb using one of those with a lizard instead of a hamster.
* HartmanHips: Poppy's mom Edna Peepleson.
* HiccupHijinks: The premise of the episode "Hiccupire" has Vee coming down with vampire hiccups, with Poppy and Bridget trying to cure her.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YHshU2J2js It turns out]] the reason Nanpire couldn't make Vee's concert in "Home Scream Home" was because she also had vampire hiccups.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Bridget is so afraid of spiders she's scared by a chalk-drawn one that, as Edgar points out, ''she'' drew.
* HoldYourHippogriffs: Ghouls and goblins tell each other "hold your zombie horses." They also wish each other "nasty dreams."
** In "Vampire Weekend", Gregoria said it's "raining bats and frogs".
* HumanityEnsues: In "Vampire Weekend", the now-human Vee realizes how tiring being a human is when night approaches.
* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: Vee's old friends in Transylvania resemble her human friends Poppy and Bridget. The Poppy look-alike is a werewolf and the Bridget look-alike is a [[FishPeople Fish Person]]. And Vee's ghost friend resembles [[spoiler: Edgar.]]
* InMediasRes: The first episode starts with the Hauntleys having recently moved to Pennsylvania and settled into the B&B.
* InnocentlyInsensitive:
** Vee means well, but can sometimes do some rather careless things when helping others.
** Poppy can also be this way. She's got a good heart and always means well, but can sometimes be unintentionally stubborn when trying to help Vee or anyone adjust to human culture.
* InsaneTrollLogic: In "Hide and Shriek", Vampirina finds Bridget, who takes advantage of having her back turned to Vampirina to pull an "if I don't see you, you don't see me" reasoning.
* InsistentTerminology: In "Vee Goes Viral", Dragos the Dancer repeatedly corrects Vee and company when they only call him Dragos.
* InstantWebHit: In early installments, Edgar's paranormal-hunting web show is a bomb that only has six viewers and two of them are his grandma and her pet. But when he decides to break format and post a video of Vee and Poppy dancing a ghoulish hit, he ends up getting over a million views.
* IntriguedByHumanity: Vee, to the point of wanting to be live a day as one in "Vampire Weekend". However, in "Fangless," she isn't so sure she wants to be human.
* IWantMyMommy: Edgar shouts this word-for-word when getting scared in "Vampirina's Surprise Party" and is caught on camera doing so. To his credit, he's the first to return after almost everyone freaks out and leaves.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: To paraphrase what Vee and Nanpire said about Gregoria the gargoyle: "She's tough on the outside, but sweet as pie on the inside". This is revealed through Gregoria's sharp bluntness, especially to Demi when he makes mistakes.
* JumpScare: Downplayed considering the show's target audience. When Vee and her family first move to Pennsylvania, they note that humans tend to get pretty jumpy and screamy around unfamiliar things. Indeed, in "Vee's Surprise Party," Vee's friends react badly at first to a scary surprise party. Bridget in particular tends to jump at the slightest bit of surprise or scare.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: While trying to protect her identity in "The Bird Who Knew Too Much", Vee and Poppy sing the song from before and lampshade it as "an old Transylvanian song".
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Edgar is the only one in Vee's friendship circle who is unaware of her monster identity. Edna and all of Vee's class follow suit.
* LostVoicePlot: The episode "Bat Got Your Tongue" has Vee's voice becomes hoarse on the day of a Ghoul Girls concert when she sang too much the previous day. Gregoria uses a potion that can restore it if she admits some kind of truth. Larry Moss, the music manager, says that she can lip sync while Poppy sings backstage. Vee accepts at first, but she feels guilty, confesses, and then gets her voice back.
* LovableCoward: Bridget is an overall sweet and {{Adorkable}} girl. She just has a hard time adjusting to the whole vampire thing.
* MalfunctionMalady: As a monster trait, all vampires get "the batties" when nervous or freaked out. It means they temporarily lose control of their ability to turn into a bat, and shift back and forth at random until they can calm down.
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: Gregoria and Demi.
* {{Meganekko}}: Bridget.
* MorphicResonance: When Vee and her parents turn into bats, they retain their original faces on their bat bodies.
* MusicalEpisode: "The Vamp Opera" is a full-on InUniverse example of this; a hybrid spell Vee casts causes herself and everyone in Pennsylvania to sing whatever they're saying.
* NerdGlasses: Boris and Mr. Gore. Demi also dons glasses at times to look more intelligent.
* NeverSayDie: Surprisingly averted--there are some instances where Vee says something to the effect of "I'm dying to try this out" at least a few times, and has to correct herself when she's trying to say that she's excited to do something.
** Averted most definitely in the episode "Dia De Los Muertos", which goes into detail about the holiday, and has Vee trying to meet up with her Uncle Dieter.
* NiceGirl: Vee, naturally.
* NobodyHereButUsStatues: In "Oldie But a Ghoulie," Vampirina in her bat form pretends to be a collectible bat knick-knack in order to hide from the collector who has bought Gregoria. It works, but then a bit afterwards when she moves and talks, she gets caught.
* NotSoAboveItAll: In "Vee's Surprise Party", Edgar pretends that he wasn't scared of the haunted stuff in Vee's house, but his own video camera says otherwise.
* TheOneGuy: Within Vee's circle of friends, she only has Edgar. Poppy and Bridget are both girls.
* OurGargoylesRock: Gregoria the gargoyle is tiny, but has a grown up SassyBlackWoman voice. She tends to hang on the roof because it makes her back stiff to pretend to be a statue in the house.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: Vampirina and her family are not only vampires but also can't drink blood nor be [[DaywalkingVampire weakened or burnt by the sunlight]]. They do, however, still have an aversion to garlic.
** And they can see their reflections.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The family pet, a Pekingese named Wolfie, is a werewolf. When either the sun sets or he either eats or drinks either milk or anything milk-related, the change happens, and anything like the morning sunlight (or a sun lamp) will reverse it. Wolfie is pretty harmless even in werewolf form. Just intimidatingly huge.
* PepTalkSong: "A Great Ballerina" from "Vampirina Ballerina".
* PerkyGoth: Vee is a young vampire who has a love for all things spooky and creepy. At the same time, she's happy, upbeat, and loves playing with dolls.
* PosthumousCharacter: Uncle Dieter passed away before the events of the series, but he temporarily returns in "Dia De Los Muertos" .
* PunnyName: The show has a few:
** Oxana runs a Scare B & B for monsters.
** One of Vee's dollies has her very own scream house.
** One of Vee's favorite singers is a vampire named [[Music/JustinBieber Justin Teether]].
** Hide and Shriek is obviously based on hide and seek.
** Vee got her dollies from FAO Shrieks, a reference to FAO Schwarz.
** "Spooktacular" is used frequently.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: In "Vampire Weekend", after Vee and Poppy switch lives and Wolfie steals the other half of the full moon pendants, they have to find the half and reconnect the pendants before the full moon rises in the sky and they’ll be forced to stay switched forever.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Boris and Oxana, apparently.
-->'''Boris:''' [Oxana] doesn't look a day over 500.
** Vee also notes she is 200 in "Countess Vee," implying this is very young for a vampire.
** Vee's favorite board game from Transylvania is not for anyone under 300.
** Grandpop says he's 689.
** Nanpire becomes 995 years old in "Desserter Mystery".
** Gregoria is 473 years old.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: Buttons.
* RunningGag: Whenever there was a situation where Vee's SecretIdentity is about to be exposed, she would make up a tall tale to cover it, with help from Poppy, Bridget and her parents.
* ScoutOut: The episode "Woodchuck Woodsies" has Vee joining Poppy and Bridget in the titular group. Said episode also said that she was in the "Ghoulie Guides" back in Transylvania.
* SecretChaser: Edgar.
** In the first segment of the first episode, ''Going Batty'', he claims that he has his own webshow called "Weekly Weirdness", and almost finds out about Vee being a vampire, but fails thanks to Poppy.
** In "As You Wish", Edgar's last wish was to be with a monster. The magic causes Vee, who ''is'' a monster, to be pulled right up to him, but he dismisses it due to being LockedOutOfTheLoop.
* SecretIdentity: Outside of Poppy and Bridget, Vee and her parents try to keep their vampire identities a secret from other humans because Boris states humans can be "jumpy" around monsters and she doesn't want to scare them.
* SecretKeeper: Poppy keeps her own twin brother out of the loop because he wants to become famous finding supernatural creatures. Bridget also keeps her secret. [[spoiler: Edgar eventually finds out as well, as revealed by the "Bat Chat" shorts.]]
* SendInTheClones: The plot of the episode "Mirror Mirror" has Vee create a clone of herself using a magic mirror so that she can be in two places at one. In an interesting take on this plot, none of the clones can talk. Not only that, more clones are accidentally created ''after'' Vee got through her day, not during it.
* ShapeshifterModeLock: Vampires get stuck in their bat forms as a symptom of vampire fever.
* ShoutOut:
** The episode "Vampirina Ballerina" was named after what the books were originally titled.
** In "The Sleepover", Poppy draws a bunny wearing a tutu that looks quite a bit like [[WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins Lambie]].
*** Speaking of which, in "Trick or Treaters", Poppy goes as Doc [=McStuffins=] for Halloween.
** In "TNN", Vampirina is hosting a movie night and allows her friends to choose one of the following options: ''[[Film/{{Casablanca}} Vampablanca]]'', ''[[Film/DialMForMurder Dial "V" for Vampire]]'' and ''[[Film/CitizenKane Citizen Vamp]]''.
** In "Gregoria Takes Flight", Demi alludes to ''Franchise/{{Superman}}''.
-->'''Demi:''' It's a bird. It's a plane. It's...
-->'''Gregoria:''' ... a ridiculous-looking costume.
* SickEpisode:
** "Batty Fever" has Vee getting the titular disease, where she has common cold symptoms, turns into a bat, and can't change back until she's given a special potion that will cure her. The trouble lies in how Boris and Oxana also get it since the disease is contagious, leaving Demi and Gregoria to whip up the cure for all three of them.
** In "Ghost Hosts", Edgar gets sick, so he can't make any more episodes for ''Weekly Weirdness'' until he gets better. Wanting to get him more followers, Vee, Poppy, and Bridget take over the show and make videos involving music, unboxing, cats, dancing, etc, causing Edgar's follower count to skyrocket to 399. Edgar is disappointed, however, as the show has far strayed from its original purpose.
* SillySpook: Demi is "silly and sincere", as one line sung by Gregoria says.
* SlumberParty: "The Sleepover" has Vee host one, and it's the episode where Bridget finds out her identity.
* SkirtOverSlacks: Bridget
* StrangeMindsThinkAlike: In the first episode, Boris gives his family orange sweaters to help themfit their new environment. Later, when they and the audience first see Edna, she's wearing an identical sweater.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: Boris and Vampirina tend to do this, either because they are bad liars or because they're simply unaware that some things are not normal for humans.
* SuperSpeed: The Hauntleys can run super fast.
* TemptingFate: In "Vampire Weekend", the now-vampire Poppy got the Batties, making it difficult for her to fly. Demi said it couldn't get any worse. Just then, Poppy fell on Wolfie's cage, setting him free to drink some milk Poppy accidentally spilled while flying, turning him into a werewolf.
-->'''Demi:''' Why can't I keep my adorable mouth shut? At least Wolfie can't open the-- ''[the door opens]'' And there he goes.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Demi and Gregoria qualify as these.
** Poppy and Bridget may also apply, with Poppy as the "brave one," and Bridget as the "scared one."
* TitlePlease: Starting in Season 2, title cards do not appear onscreen, yet Vee still announces them.
* TownGirls: Poppy is femme, Bridget is butch, and Vee is neither.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: None of the residents of Pennsylvania seem to think it's strange that the Hauntleys all have blue skin, pointy ears and fangs.
* VampireVords: Nanpire, Oxana, and Boris talk like this. Averted for Vampirina herself, despite being born in Transylvania.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Demi and Gregoria may get on each other's nerves at times, but they still care for each other.
* [[Main/WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove What Is This Thing You Call "Fear"?]]: The Hauntley experience non-pleasant, human-like fear for the first time in "Look Who's Scared Now!" after witnessing pink sparkly fireworks that reminded them of a wicked troll attack.
* TheVoiceless: The episode "Mirror, Mirror" features a mirror that creates duplicates of Vampirina. The duplicates are voiceless.

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: In "Countess Vee", if Vee is crowned countess of Spookleton Castle, she and her family cannot go back to Pennsylvania with her friends, so it's best she refuses the position.
