Disney has always taken a unique approach when it comes to their animated television series, and their latest series, “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” is no different. The series is based on a Marvel comic with the same characters. “Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” features a diverse cast including Diamond White starring as Lunella Lafayette/Moon Girl, a 13-year-old superheroine, Fred Tatasciore as Devil Dinosaur, Alfre Woodard as Mimi, Lunella’s grandmother, Libe Barer as Casey, Moon Girl’s best friend, and Lawrence Fishburne as The Beyonder.
Attendees included Monique Coleman, Yvette Nicole Brown, Raphael Saadiq, Savannah James, and several other stars.
When Coleman was asked about how she felt about the new era of Disney as a star with extensive history with Disney she said, “Disney feels like a second home to me. I really have such wonderful memories and I’m just always excited to see the innovative things they’re doing and now this new project with Marvel…it’s just exciting. It’s important that as we continue to take steps forward that we continue to reach back and make sure the next generation has more than we had.”
Speaking of the next generation, several child stars were present at the premiere as well! Issac Ryan Brown, star of Disney’s “Raven’s Home” made an appearance, Marcus Scribner from “Black-ish” attended, and several other young starlets too.
The series premieres on Disney Channel on Friday, February 10, and makes its Disney+ premiere on February 15.
