Let's Go Luna!

Set in a world populated by anthropomorphic animals, ''Let's Go Luna!'' 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 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 stops, learns about, and meets friends around the world. ==Characters==

Main • Luna (speaking voice by Judy Greer; singing voices by Erin Fitzgerald and Liane de Lotbinere) is Earth's Moon herself, who guides Leo, Andy, and Carmen on their trips during the daytime. She knows every person in the world and has magical capabilities. Her size gives her a problem with doorways and enclosed spaces, often involving a degree of uncomfortable squeezing to enter. She also has an uncontrollable urge to dance when she hears happy music. • Leo Chockers (voiced by Aidan Wojtak-Hissong in "Hola Mariachi!" - "A Chopsticky Situation" and Shayle Simons in "Speaking Wigglewalker" - "Love and Harmony") is a wombat from Sydney, Australia who loves food. • Andy Hopper (voiced by Jaiden Cannatelli in "Hola Mariachi!" - "The Charango Kid" and Evan O'Donnell in "Cusco, Weave Got a Problem" - "Love and Harmony") is a frog from Brooklyn, New York who loves art and sports. • Carmen Mariposa (voiced by Saara Chaudry) is a butterfly from Mexico City who loves music. • Magic Globe (voiced by Miku Graham) is a miniature globe of the world that lives in Carmen's pocket and can share information about the places that the children visit. Recurring • Señor Moncarlo Fabuloso (voiced by Paul Braunstein) is a flamingo and the ringmaster of the Circo Fabuloso. He speaks with a Spanish accent. • Mr. Hock "Hockbar" Thelonious Bar (voiced by David Berni) is a vole who does many of the behind-the-scenes jobs such as selling tickets, setting up the Circo's schedule and making certain everything runs smoothly. He is full of energy and has a tendency to get worked up and rush around when many things need doing, which can stress out the other members of the Circo. • Honey (voiced by Zoe Hatz) is Carmen's mischievous yellow pet hamster. She often escapes from her cage, but it is only because she is curious and wishes to be included. • Maria Mariposa (voiced by Tamara Almeida) is Carmen's single mother, and the music conductress of the Circo Fabuloso Band. • Wolfgang (voiced by Paul Braunstein) and Pippa Chockers (voiced by Linda Ballantyne) are Leo's parents who work at the Circo. Wolfgang is the Circo's chef (who loves Dad jokes) and Pippa is the Circo's carpenter. • Mathilda Chockers is Leo's baby sister who can be destructive, but Leo finds in "Glocken Around the Clock" it takes a special kind of glockenspiel to make her happy. • Wrinkles is Leo's pet tortoise. • Lucie Hopper (voiced by Carolyn Scott) is Andy's mother, and the Circo's costume designer. She speaks with a Midwestern accent. • Sam Hopper (voiced by Dan Chameroy) is Andy's father and Circo's prop-maker. • Bonjour and Au Revoir (both voiced by Peter Cugno) are twin brothers who work as clowns. Bonjour's mask is purple and Au Revoir's is green. They both speak with French accents. • Ingrid Svenson-Benson (voiced by Brigitte Solem) is a centipede and the Circo's contortionist. She speaks with a Swedish accent. • Salami Strong (voiced by Paul Braunstein) is an alligator and the Circo's strongman. He speaks with an Italian accent. • Pablo (voiced by Cory Doran) is an armadillo who performs with the Melvinis, a group of six living bowling pins. • The Acronauts are a trio of acorn-shaped bears who perform as acrobats. • The Fearless Shrews (all three voiced by David Berni) are a trio of shrews who perform as trapeze artists. They speak with Peruvian accents. • Wally is a gray walrus wearing brown pants, a red shirt, and a battered brown hat, with a camera around his neck. The character often appears as a tourist, as he makes an appearance as a background character in every story, usually taking photographs and infrequently having a speaking role. ==Episodes==
