The Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Cartoon is Definitely For Kids
I like cartoons. I watch a ton of cartoons. Sometimes they’re cartoons for kids, sometimes they’re cartoons for adults. But with this trailer for the upcoming Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur show, I definitely think this one is for really young kids. And that’s probably my criteria for skipping the show. It looks good, but it doesn’t look for me.
Maybe it’s for you! And that’s why I share trailers like this. Perhaps this is totally your vibe. I just like sharing that Marvel is branching out with all sorts of different ideas and shows. I wonder if Moon Boy will be used in any way…
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur comes to Disney Channel on Feb. 10, and then to Disney+ shortly thereafter.

Carnival Row is Still a Thing!
Hey everybody! Did you know that Carnival Row was still a show that exists on Amazon? Because it’s second season is right around the corner! In fact, here’s a new trailer to prove it! Remember these characters? This world? I sure hope so!
I kid because I love. I really enjoyed the first season of Carnival Row when it came out way back in 2019, in the before times, in the long long ago. Cool world of downtrodden pixies and mythical humanoid creatures, with lots of interesting stories and some solid performances. But the pandemic ruins all things, and we’ve had to wait this long for season 2. I probably should have also posted a recap video of season 1 for everybody…
Carnival Row returns on Feb. 17 to Amazon Prime, and I think I read somewhere that they’re going to do two episodes a week for this second and final season.

Doctor Who Is Gonna Be Wild
As I mentioned before, I’m a bit behind on Doctor Who. I haven’t seen the last season or the Jodie Whittaker specials…but I’ve totally been spoiled about this 14th Doctor stuff, so I was pretty safe to watch this trailer for the upcoming 2023 specials. It all looks fun, especially the return of my favorite companion!
I’m excited to get caught back up on Doctor Who. Whittaker’s first two seasons weren’t all that great, in my opinion. And I haven’t heard much about that third season or the specials she got. So we’ll see. But it’s all coming to Disney+ eventually, so hopefully I’ll be able to get caught up there. I’m interested to see what these 2023 specials will be about. I would love a really touching Donna Noble episode.

I Don’t Know Fashion, But I Do Know Doctor Who
I am way behind on Doctor Who. I haven’t seen the last season and any of the specials that came after, so I haven’t even seen Jodie Whittaker’s regeneration yet! Ideally, I’ll be able to catch up when it’s all on Disney+ in a year or two. That being said, I still get Doctor Who news in my various feeds, and they revealed 15th Doctor Ncuti Gatwa’s official outfit last week.
I do not understand fashion. It looks fine. I guess it looks like a Doctor outfit. But fuzzy orange jumper underneath that brown checkered suit? I just don’t get fashion. But then I’ve been wearing the same cargo pants/button up look since high school. So by all means, I am really bad at this.
But Gatwa looks fine, as does his sidekick, Ruby Sunday, played by Millie Gibson. Here’s hoping for some quality Doctor Who again!

There’s Gonna Be More Vox Machina!
I am not a Critical Role junkie, but I am very familiar with their work and really enjoyed the first season of The Legend of Vox Machina. So hoorays all around for the fact that we’re going to get a second season already! Sometimes it feels like years between TV seasons these days. But these animation boys and girls have whipped this one together for the new year!
Looks like fun! Personally, I think I’m a bigger fan of the Mighty Nein, and I hope we get to see them in animation someday. But The Legend of Vox Machina is good enough for this weary, old, cartoon-loving soul.
Check out the new season on Amazon Prime in January.
