Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

I love this show! Not only is it so fun and related watching with my nieces and nephews but it's inspiring them to create, ask questions, take chances and test their own hypothesis. I love everything about the vibrancy of the show! The music is great! The characters are well composed, I love the style of the characters and how they make changes to emphasize emotions. This show exhibits real life in a fun and multifaceted way. #BringbackMoonGirlandDevilDinosaur!

Each episode brings so much joy to our house. Often my neice will ask great questions and then come up with scenarios for us to act out or a great idea for how to repurpose and reuse something so it does not become waste. Beyond being a great show promoting S. T. E. A. M. It's helping my niece become more conscientious about the way that she interacts with the environment and how the things that we do and the things that we consume affect our ecosystem. Now she thinks in a more intentional manner about how she uses things and what she feels like she needs versus what she feels that she can create and repurpose to help create a better world for all of us. She's also become more empathetic. I believe by watching the show. I just love it and I really think that you all need to bring it back. I wish there was a show like this when I was growing up.

Moon Girl is stylish, inspirational, and a delight to watch. The titular character has a supportive family (which she is also very supportive of!), a keen intellect, and a tendency to get into and sometimes cause trouble. Devil the dinosaur, her partner in fighting crime, is adorable and has a puppy-like vibe, giving his name irony.

I've seen most of the first six episodes, and it's presented as a "lesson of the day" format, but without a great deal of preachiness (again, irony with the title here). The lessons flow well into the plot and are even incorporated into the battles. Battles against villains (or would-be villains come friends) includes stylish music, including some show-stoppers by popular artists that tie in well to the theme of the episode. The art pops like crazy in these scenes, and people are gonna compare it to Into the Spider-Verse. Yeah, it's lit like that.

That said, while I love the style, format, and lessons of the show, I think it struggles to stay grounded (pun intended). It has already somewhat run into the trap of "protagonist learns lessons and forgets them when the plot calls for it", and I expect the trend will continue. Having great standalone episodes is great, but we've already seen Disney shows that can have both great standalone episodes and overall consistency with Phineas and Ferb and Milo Murphy's Law. These shows grew funnier over time, with an immense amount of layered humor, several interweaving plots, and beloved characters.

Like the titular character, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur has a ton of potential and has lots of style, but could really use a more cohesive direction.

This is one of those situations as a 30 year old I'm jealous of kids, we might have had Proud Family and maybe Danny Phantom, but wow this is amazing animation and story telling: I'm not the target demo for this but I am eternally grateful for this series: even if you're just a music fan you have to check this out because Raphael Saadiq supervising the music is literally a dream come true for why audiophiles out there. Even the commercial break transitions are pristine. If you're into animation this is incredible. If you're a kid that like good stories this is better than even old school Batman and the Justice League cartoons.

As an adult the level of representation speaks to my inner child! I love the music especially the theme song! The diversity of LES and the issues that surface that moon girl and D face. I love the voice actors!! They do such an amazing job. I can't wait to have a kid so they can watch this show one day. I love the character development and how each voice actor represents the culture of the character. I love the community and how they come together in the show. I mean it's so beautifully written with such intention it's very clear. It's such a modern cartoon with a classic touch. A Black Family that owns a skating rink that loves their neighbors and their neighbors love them!! It doesn't get any better than that.

A very well made show overflowing with style even though it may be lacking slightly in character development and substance it more than makes up for that with eye popping animation reminiscent of into the spider verse, and overall well written characters. Not everything needs to be insanely complex to be enjoyable this show knows exactly what is a fun action packed romp with interesting characters and a heartfelt story, with messages about family friendship and teamwork while not being overly preachy like a lot of kids shows fall habbit to. I recommend it wholeheartedly and have no doubt the second season will build of the great stuff set up this season, I for one can't wait.
