Rating Summary
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur could actually be an entertaining program for children. It offers excellent animation and vocal performances, and it's fun. Unfortunately, it's also a miasma of wokeness propaganda designed to convince urban minority citizens that the police are apathetic to them, at best, and that they will forever be victims. It's riddled with liberal talking points that ruin anything positive that the show might have to offer.

The quality of Disney programming has been on a steady decline for a number of years. As their poisonous propensity for proselytizing woke propaganda in lieu of telling quality stories continues unfettered, and their bottom line continues to shrink, one can only hope that the once great beacon of creativity will again find true north. The question is, should Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur provide you with any optimism?

PARENTAL NOTES

TV-Y7-FV
  • The show is rated TV-Y7-FV, which is supposed to mean that it’s appropriate for ages 7 and older but contains “Fantasy Violence,” which might be more intense than regular violence.
    • There is some intense cartoon action and violence.
Could it be SATAN?
  • Fortunately, the T-Rex in this children’s cartoon is not called “Devil” because of any demonic or satanic ties. It is only a reference to his red skin, the horn-like protrusions on his head, and his fierceness.

 

WOKE REPORT

We Built This City… on Wokeness
  • It’s filled with anti-police sentiment.
  • It’s filled with unwarranted victim mentality.
  • It drones on and on about “the community.” This is a dog whistle for the “black community” or “minority community.” And it’s almost used in the context of how abused “the community” is.
  • Unironically said is that, “Megan Rapinoe is pretty cool.”
  • They positively invoke Michelle Obama.
  • It’s literally built on girl-power.
  • Some little boys act like petty little girls.
  • One of the main secondary characters has two gay dads.

    Theres also a scene pretty sure where she meets a computer who is nonbinary. I dont generally have a problem with non living objects not having a sex because they don’t. But from what I’ve read it’s a full on gender non binary lesson
