Ep 1. Moon Girl Landing

In Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur season 1 episode 1, titled "Moon Girl Landing," we are introduced to the quirky and intelligent young protagonist Lunella Lafayette, aka Moon Girl, living in present-day New York City. The episode begins as Lunella watches a live stream of a satellite launch in excitement. She is eager to study the satellite's data in order to prove her theory that there is another dimension parallel to our own. After her school day ends, Lunella rushes to her lab in her secret hideout to await the satellite's arrival.

Meanwhile, in a distant prehistoric era, we see a group of creatures trying to protect and take care of a massive red T-Rex that they call Devil Dinosaur. The creatures believe that the dinosaur is a god and they try to appease it with offerings and rituals. However, when a group of fearsome creatures attack them, Devil Dinosaur and his tribe are forced to confront them in a fierce battle. During the fight, Devil Dinosaur is hit with a strange energy blast that propels him through time and space.

Back in New York City, the satellite Lunella was eagerly anticipating suddenly crashes into her hideout, causing mayhem. In the wreckage, she discovers an unusual red dinosaur that she realizes is not from this time period. Lunella decides to take the dinosaur home with her and tries to calm him down. While attempting to find a way back home, Devil Dinosaur accidentally destroys some of her experiments. Despite initially being annoyed, Lunella realizes that the dinosaur is intelligent and she can use her scientific expertise to help him.

The two soon become unlikely allies, and Lunella names him Devil Dinosaur. As she tries to find a way to send him back home, she discovers that he is being tracked by a mysterious organization known as The Killer-Folk, who want to capture Devil Dinosaur and take him back to his own time to use as a weapon. With the help of her friend and fellow inventor, Devin, Lunella devises a plan to distract The Killer-Folk and keep Devil Dinosaur safe.

"Moon Girl Landing" is a fun and action-packed debut episode that introduces us to the world of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur. The episode does a great job of establishing Lunella as a relatable and lovable protagonist, while also setting up the larger mythology of the series. The animation is bright and inviting, and the voice acting is top-notch, particularly from Diamond White, who voices Lunella. While the episode may be a bit predictable, it is still a blast to watch and sets up a promising series for fans of all ages.
