Plot Synopsis
Featuring countries, cultures, and customs from around the globe, LET'S GO LUNA! is a half-hour animated series that follows the adventures of three animal friends -- Leo, a wombat from Australia; Carmen, a butterfly from Mexico; and Andy, a frog from the United States -- as they traverse the globe with their parents' traveling performance troupe. At each stop, the trio learns about the differences and similarities of the countries they visit -- from language and music, to food and art -- with the help of their friend Luna the moon, encouraging kids ages 4-7 to learn about world cultures while developing social skills. Each 30-minute consists of two 11-minute animated stories based in a single country, joined together by an interstitial featuring a traditional folktale associated with each location. Two consecutive episodes -- a total of four stories -- are dedicated to a single city or country, to help kids better understand and retain the culture that makes up each destination. While the locations are different, the core lessons and experiences of the characters lead children through storylines with friends all over the world. Destinations in Season 1 include: Mexico City, Mexico; Moscow, Russia; Cairo, Egypt; Beijing, China; London, England; Delhi, India; Sydney, Australia; Tokyo, Japan; Paris, France; Juneau, Alaska; Istanbul, Turkey; Barcelona, Spain; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Munich, Germany; Nairobi, Kenya; Qosqo, Peru; Bangkok, Thailand; New Orleans, Louisiana; Rome, Italy; and Antarctica (Christmas Special).
