The words spoken by Robin in opening episode of this series seemed to sum up the overall feeling of the species for the episodes to come. Indeed, compared to the Slayer Eric Van Helsing, the vampires shown in the show Young Dracula are the very emboidment of 'awesome'.
Young Dracula is unlike any other vampire show on television in one great respect: this is a children's show. However, unlike many children's shows of current times, Young Dracula credits its audience with intelligence, never once dumming things down to a level that could be considered disrespectful.
In the same vein, the show does not make the vampires seem 'cutesy' and tame. We, the viewers, are very aware all throughout the series that these are dangerous people; and that we should not underestimate them. The show also puts in moments that would be considered decidely creepy in an adult's show, and yet this does not make us shy away from it. We continue to watch, enjoying this mix of humour and horror, all in a neat half hour package.
