Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

The series received highly positive reviews for its writing, animation, soundtrack, representation, and characters. The series won five Children's and Family Emmy Awards.

Synopsis

Based on Marvel's hit comic books, "Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur" follows the adventures of 13-year-old super-genius Lunella Lafayette and her 10-ton T-Rex, Devil Dinosaur. After Lunella accidentally brings Devil Dinosaur into present-day New York City via an interdimensional portal, the duo works together to protect the city's Lower East Side from danger.

In Season 2, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are in their element as Super Heroes; however, as Moon Girl's Super Hero-ing intertwines more with her personal life, she must decide if the cost of keeping her identity a secret is worth the toll it takes on her family. This season also transitions the show over to being serialized/story-driven, with the introduction of this season's main villain, Molecule Man.
