YMMV / Mona the Vampire

Go To

  • Adaptation Displacement: The show was based upon a book series, but the TV series is more well known. What's really odd is that the books are mentioned in the show's intro.
  • Designated Hero: Mona is almost never portrayed in the wrong despite being quite delusional and getting people into trouble because of her crazy beliefs that they're supernatural beings. Somehow, the adults are (most of the time) stupid enough to believe her. Her two friends, Charley and Lily, are no better either, especially since they often assist Mona and can be equally as delusional as her. Then again, they are 10-year-olds who run their lives on their imaginations.
  • Designated Villain: A lot of the "antagonists" Mona believes to be supernatural monsters are really just normal people who haven't really done anything remotely villainous.
    • Like all presumed villains in the show, Alistair hadn't truly done anything villainous at all, he was just a school janitor.
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The show has a cult following in China of all places, where's it's known as Little Witch Mona. The following is so big that unlicensed merchandise has popped up on Chinese websites such as AliExpress.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: This wouldn't be Canada's only vampire cartoon, considering that Hotel Transylvania: The Series was also made by Canadians.
    • In "The Bogeyman Cometh", an Arthur doll can be seen in Charley's toy box. Two years after the episode aired, Justin Bradley, who voiced Charley for seasons 1-3, would become the voice of Arthur, before being dubbed over and replaced by Mark Rendall.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The CINAR logo shown at the end of Season 4 episodes. This version has a darker sky and a vampire bat flying right over it! It worsens for people with chiroptophobia.
