Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is a Disney Channel animated TV series based on characters from Marvel Comics.
Devil Dinosaur was created by Jack Kirby in the late 1970s. Those comics were set in prehistoric times and found the angry red dinosaur paired with a pre-human boy called Moon Boy. 2016 saw a successful revival of the red dino as he is time-warped to present day New York City. There he encounters 13 year-old genius Lunella Lafayette who takes on the moniker of Moon Girl.
Singer/actor Diamond White (The Lion Guard) is set to star as Lunella Lafayette (aka Moon Girl) while noted monster-voicer Fred Tatasciore will growl out Devil Dinosaur's lines. Her grandmother Mimi's voice will be provided by Alfre Woodard (Luke Cage). Also cast are Libe Barer (Sneaky Pete) as Lunella’s best friend and manager, Casey, Sasheer Zamata (Saturday Night Live) as Lunella’s mom, Adria, Jermaine Fowler (Superior Donuts) as Lunella’s dad, James Jr., and Gary Anthony Williams (Doc McStuffins) as Lunella’s grandfather, Pops. Series executive producer Laurence Fishburne will voice the recurring role of The Beyonder, a curious and mischievous trickster.
The show is executive produced by Fishburne and Helen Sugland’s Cinema Gypsy Productions and Steve Loter (Kim Possible). Rodney Clouden (Futurama) is supervising producer, Jeffrey M. Howard (Planes) and Kate Kondell (The Pirate Fairy) are co-producers and story editors, and Pilar Flynn (Elena of Avalor) is producer.
