Yes, I am adding a quote from this show to my review, and this is the last sentence Luna ever says in every episode. If you're curious about what the premiere was like, it contained a compilation of segments of the fun show about 10 minutes long. You will NOT regret this show! The advertisements for this were thrown at me over and over again, and then I thought about watching it. I'm glad I did!
The funding is just animated by PBS Kids, but the credits are unique and well done. Theme song lyrics are creative, and just like the theme song says, "Traveling the world as a trio, Andy, and Carmen, and Leo", great adventures begin with them. A magic globe helps them learn cool facts about where they're at, and the globe actually teaches something to me, as a teenager. I know you may not like this show, but please respect my opinion. Andy, a wombat who has his own camera, Carmen, a butterfly, and Leo, a dog are whimsical and very cute, and when Luna the moon comes, the trio sings a simple, cute, short, and sweet song. It invites Luna and preschoolers to join in on the adventure, just like that! They experience a snafu, where, for example, the trio gets cold, the mariachi band has hiccups, or even two missing parakeets. Later through the show, a little song is sung. All the songs are very cute, and the voice actors are NOT squeally like some shows for the preschool age demographic can tend to have.
At times, the characters can be whiny, but ultimately, they are kind to each other and are very fun and peppy. The variety of characters is diverse (which we need because these days, we have seen shows that contain only one gender, ethnicity, or race).
The two best things about this show are the educational value and background music. First, the educational aspects. The world is where we live in, so we need to learn more about it, right? True. This show totally delivers on the educational value because throughout the adventures of Luna and her friends, educational tidbits are used, likewise, in London, people speak English just like in USA, but both countries use different words with the same meaning. In Britain, cotton candy (as the Americans call it) is called candy floss. I had never known such a thing until I watched "Let's Go Luna!".
Then the background music. It is spot-on and beautifully scored! Really, for a fact, it livens up the show to make it as cheery as it is, but not like Barney or Dora, which both use subpar music, but preschoolers probably won't care.
I highly recommend this program for parents and their young children because people need to learn more about the world and there needs to be more programs like this. It not only educates, but it also entertains. Thank you, Joe Murray, creator of "Let's Go Luna!"!
9/10. Worth a watch!
By the way, this holiday, there will be a family movie called "Let's Go Luna: Christmas Around the World" on PBS Kids.
***Update: The Christmas movie maintained the show's formula of great entertainment, educational value, and dynamite music. It starts with a captain and a ship taking Andy, Carmen, and Leo to Australia, but they ended up in Antarctica. Along the way, they learned about the Santas in France, Sweden, Italy, etc.. In the end, Luna and all the other characters learned the best part of Christmas is not Santa Claus or anything like it, but it is actually giving. Just as good as the show.
