Rocko's Modern Life
Camp Lazlo

Let's Go Luna! is a Canadian-American animated educational television series created by animator Joe Murray (who previously created Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo) and produced by Peter Hannan. It is co-produced by 9 Story Media Group's Brown Bag Films for PBS Kids.[1] Judy Greer provides the voice of the titular Luna.[2] It is confirmed that there will be 38 half-hour episodes and a one-hour special.[1] Each episode consists of two 11-minute story segments,[2] with a short segment of either Andy, Carmen or Leo telling a folktale, song or poem from that country in between.

Premise

Let's Go Luna! set in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, focuses on three kids-- Leo, a wombat from Australia, Andy, a frog from the United States and Carmen, a butterfly from Mexico-- who travel around the world with their parents' traveling performance troupe "Circo Fabuloso." Along their stops, Luna the Moon, depicted about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall with arms, legs and a face, and wearing a straw hat and red boots, occasionally comes down to Earth to teach them about local languages, music, food, and other customs. Two half-hour episodes, consisting of two segments each and four in total, take place in a single country where the gang stop at, learn about and meet friends around the world. With a team of cultural anthropologists on board, Let's Go Luna! is "meticulously researched to ensure cities and regions are authentically and respectfully portrayed."[3]

Characters

Main

  • Luna (voiced by Judy Greer), the Moon herself, who guides Leo, Andy and Carmen on their trips during the daytime. Luna knows every person in the world and spends every night in the sky. She is capable of using magic, but prefers to keep it secret when in public. She suffers an unusual weakness: happy music makes her dance uncontrollably, which can often devolve into chaos for those around her. Her catchphrase is, "...but remember, there's always tomorrow."
  • Leo Chockers (voiced by Aidan Wojtak-Hissong (2018) and Shayle Simons (2018-present)), a 7-year-old wombat from Sydney, Australia who loves food and is learning to become a cook like his father. He is shown to be very fearful of new things and sometimes panics when worried. He is also shown to be somewhat of a crybaby.
  • Andy Hopper (voiced by Jaiden Cannatelli (2018-2020) and Evan O'Donnell (2020)), a 7-year-old frog from the United States who loves art. He is very enthusiastic about everything he hears.
  • Carmen Mariposa (voiced by Saara Chaudry), a 7-year-old butterfly from Mexico City, Mexico who loves music. She plays a Spanish guitar handed down from her deceased grandmother.
  • Magic Globe (voiced by Miku Graham), a miniature globe of the world that lives in Carmen's pocket. Whenever the Circo goes somewhere new, she emerges from Carmen's pocket, grows to full size and tells the kids where they are as well as sharing a fact about the place they are, such as a greeting or other useful trivia.

Recurring

  • Señor Moncarlo Fabuloso (voiced by Paul Braunstein), a flamingo from Barcelona, Spain and the ringmaster of Circo Fabuloso.
  • Honey (voiced by Zoe Hatz), Carmen's mischievous yellow pet hamster. She often escapes from her cage but it is only because she is curious and wishes to be included.
  • Mr. Hockbar (voiced by David Berni), a lizard who does all the odd jobs, such as making deliveries and doing the laundry, as well as handling the scheduling for the Circo. He has a tendency to go into overdrive when a lot of things need doing, which can create stress for others around him.
  • Maria Mariposa (voiced by Tamara Almeida), Carmen's single mother and conductor of the Circo Fabuloso Band.
  • Wolfgang Chockers (voiced by Paul Braunstein), Leo’s father and the Circo's resident chef who also enjoys telling bad jokes.
  • Pippa Chockers (voiced by Linda Ballantyne), Leo’s mother and the Circo's carpenter.
  • Mathilda Chockers, Leo's baby sister.
  • Lucie Hopper (voiced by Carolyn Scott), Andy’s mother and the Circo's costume designer.
  • Sam Hopper (voiced by Dan Chameroy), Andy’s father and the Circo's prop-maker.
  • Bonjour and Au Revoir (voiced by Peter Cugno), twin mandrill brothers from Paris, France who work as clowns. Bonjour's head is purple and Au Revoir's head is green.
  • Ingrid Svenson-Benson (voiced by Brigitte Solem), a centipede from Sweden and the Circo’s contortionist.
  • Salami Strong (voiced by Paul Braunstein), an alligator from Italy and the Circo’s strongman.
  • Pablo (voiced by Cory Doran), an armadillo from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who performs with the Melvinis, a group of six living bowling pins.
  • The Acronauts, a trio of acorn shaped bears.

Guest Stars
