Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is one of the best Disney cartoons HANDS DOWN. It's a show that has things for everyone to enjoy. Comic reader or not. Nobody could truly hate this show. First off, the animation is absolutely AMAZING. The character designs are cool and the fight scenes and music videos are vibrant, creative, and colorful. It feels like I'm watching an animated comic book and it reminds me of the spiderverse movies. The animation is done by the same studio behind Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Lego Monkie Kid, Flying Bark Studios, which explains why it's so good!

The characters are well-written and the representation that this show brings is very important. The music is good. The show is also extremely funny, and isn't afraid to get serious and emotional. The voice actors are talented and are perfect for the characters.

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 and Devil Dinosaur are ready to fight crime in the new animated series: Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur! Based on the comic book of the same name, this show highlights the world of S. T. E. M. to young children and inspires learning more about it. Fans of the original comic book and other Marvel fans will love the new series as well.

Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur follows 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette (Diamond White), who one day-while helping bring power back to her town-accidentally makes a time portal and spawns a ten-ton red T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur (Fred Tatasciore), into present-day New York City. The duo works together on missions to protect the city's Lower East Side from danger.

I love how well the series connects to the actual comic book featuring the main characters Lunella and Devil Dinosaur. From the animation, the costumes, to the gadgets, everything relates to the original comic story. My favorite part of the series is when Lunella is fighting multiple villains in the episode. During that time she is constantly asked what her hero name is and she never is able to give an answer. That scene adds humor to the show and gives a bit of backstory on the title. It's incredible how Marvel is now incorporating a kids' animated series to the MCU. It's a great addition! The characters are extremely relatable in this series. Great detail is given to character development and design, even down to Lunella's goggles. I love the way different shapes appear in them based on what she's saying or on her emotions. This show is highly creative.

This series highlights the importance of friendship, acceptance, being yourself and using your strengths to do something great. In the series, even though the Devil Dinosaur randomly shows up and is a different species, Lunella is able to bond and become friends with it. She also gets teased because she is extremely intelligent. When she accepts her gifts and becomes Moon Girl, she is then able to be herself and use her tech-savvy talents to help save her community.

I give this series 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for kids ages 5-12, plus adults. You can watch the premiere of Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur on Disney Channel on February 10, 2023, and on Disney+ starting February 15, 2023. By Tiana S., KIDS FIRST!

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.

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.
