The Disney series, which has an all-female writers' room, focuses more on young Black girl empowerment, teaching kids (and adults) it’s cool to be smart it also shares valuable lessons on socioeconomic challenges like gentrification, or the community disruption that has come to many U.S. But Fishburne and Loter’s series is a conduit for more than epic adventures, heroic missions, and revenge. The all-star season one guest voice cast includes Alison Brie Andy Cohen Daveed Diggs Maya Hawke Jennifer Hudson Method Man Cobie Smulders and Wesley Snipes.įishburne even gets to lend his voice to the show as “The Beyonder.”Īs the story goes in the comics, Devil Dinosaur ends up in New York with Lunella after he wanders through a portal from Savage Land after the death of Moon Boy, whose dying wish is for Devil Dinosaur to reclaim the lost Nightstone and avenge his death. The heartwarming series stars Diamond White as Lunella and Fred Tatasciore as Devil Dinosaur, along with the voices of Libe Barer Alfre Woodard Sasheer Zamata Jermaine Fowler and Gary Anthony Williams. After Lunella accidentally brings Devil Dinosaur into present-day New York City, the duo works together to protect the city's Lower East Side from danger.
The wildly colorful and action-packed comedy series from Titmouse and Cinema Gypsy Productions follows the adventures of 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette and her 10-ton T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur. “So, it's just a joy for us to be creating this kind of show, which is a show like we've never seen before.” “We are people who really, really love animation, from the very beginning of our lives,” says Fishburne, a three-time Emmy Award and Tony Award-winning actor, most known for his role as Morpheus in The Matrix. More than four decades after Moon-Boy and Devil Dinosaur, and almost eight years after Lunella’s introduction into the Marvel universe, long-time Moon-Boy comic fan Laurence Fishburne and Kim Possible’s Steve Loter have created their own iteration of the story with the animated television series Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, premiering Friday, February 10 on Disney Channel and Wednesday, February 15 on Disney+.
The comic picked up from the Moon-Boy and Devil Dinosaur comics, which were both debuted in the 70s.
The comic centered around 9-year-old Lunella Lafayette, a young African American girl with brains beyond her years, who loves to invent.
Brainiac superhero Moon Girl and her Devil Dinosaur first appeared back in 2015, when Brandon Montclare, Amy Reeder, and Natacha Bustoss’ first issue of “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” was published by Marvel Comics.
