Let's Go Luna! is an educational animated children's television series created by Joe Murray that aired on PBS Kids. Murray formerly worked on the Nickelodeon animated series Rocko's Modern Life and Cartoon Network animated series Camp Lazlo. It is co-produced by 9 Story Media Group.[1] Judy Greer provides the voice of the titular Luna.[2] In the first season, there are 38 half-hour episodes and a one-hour special. The second season has 26 episodes and premiered on May 10, 2021.[3] Each episode consists of two 11-minute story segments,[2] with a short segment of one of the characters telling a folktale, song or poem from that country in between.
Unlike Rocko's Modern Life and Camp Lazlo which are both sitcoms, Let's Go Luna! marks the first educational series created by Joe Murray. The series aired 64 episodes through November 18, 2022.[4]
Let's Go Luna! sets in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, focuses on three kids—Leo, a wombat from Sydney, Australia, Andy, a frog from the United States and Carmen, a butterfly from Mexico City, 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".[5]
A TV special named Let's Go Luna!: Christmas Around the World aired on December 10, 2018. Here, the Circo gets stuck in Antarctica after their captain gets wasted on fruit cake.
The show was first announced on July 31, 2017, as part of the PBS TCA presentation. PBS broadcasts the show on its stations and also airs on the 24-hour PBS Kids channel, as well as the PBS Kids video app. Let's Go Luna! offers digital content for kids, parents and teachers, debuting from its PBS Kids website and a Luna app was also confirmed and would have been released shortly after the series' debut. However, the app ceased development and is on the PBS Kids video and games apps. There was also an Elinor Wonders Why app, but the series was placed on the PBS Kids video and games apps as well. 9 Story International Distribution owns managing and merchandising rights to the show outside Canada.[9] It is also one of a few shows for preschoolers and PBS' first storyboard-driven show where storyboard artists work with the writers, in order to create "visually-driven narratives that highlight each city's distinctive landscape and features".[5] It was originally going to be titled Luna Around the World but was changed to Let's Go Luna!.
The show aired on Nat Geo Kids in Latin America and streaming on Max in the same region.[10] In Spain, the show airs on Canal Panda. In Italy, it airs on Rai Yoyo. In Canada, the show airs on TVOKids and Knowledge Kids. In Turkey, the show will air on TRT Çocuk. In the half-hour broadcast of Let's Go Luna! on TVOKids, the short segment that occurs between the two 11-minute story segments of the show is kept in the broadcast instead of being removed.
