Vampirina: The kids’ show that has bite

Vampirina, animated in Dublin for Disney, is about a girl vampire who is also sweet and lovable, writes Ed Power.

When the almighty Walt Disney corporation set its sights on bringing to the screen a popular series of children’s novels about a girl vampire, executives at the House of Mouse knew to whom to entrust the job.

“Disney got in touch and we started working on Vampirina in late 2014,” says Gillian Higgins, vice-president of production at Dublin’s Brown Bag Films.
