Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur Animated Series Coming To Disney Channel

Today at D23 it was announced that Laurence Fishburne and Helen Sugland's production company Cinema Gypsy Productions is creating an animated series based on the Marvel comic Moon Girl and Devil Dinsoaur for Disney Channel.
The series follows Lunella Lafayette, a genius 13 year old girl who brings a red T-Rex know Devil Dinosaur forward in time to modern day New York, where the two of them go on all sorts of adventures together. I'm not sure if it'll come into play in the TV series, but the comics served as a follow up to an earlier comic series from legendary creator Jack Kirby, Moon Boy and Devil Dinosaur, which follow Devil Dinosaur back in his home era, where he went on adventures with ape like early hominid known as Moon Boy.
I haven't read the comics, but I'm enough of a Marvel fan that I will still probably check this out.
 
It's a fun book. A current favorite. Though I'm pretty sure I'm not the target demographic. :lol:
 
It's on my long list of comics I want to check out but haven't gotten around too.
 
Anybody heard anything about this lately? I saw the comic looking around online earlier today, and I realized that I hadn't seen any news about this since the initial announcement. I was wondering if this might have ended up another victim of the big shift that's going on with Marvel TV right now.
 
Marvel and Disney have announced the cast for this and revealed a promo image.

Diamond White as Lunella Lafayette/Moon GIrl
Alfre Woodard as Lunella's grandmother, Mimi
Libe Barer as Lunella's best friend and manager, Casey
Sasheer Zamata as Lunella's mom, Adria
Jermaine Fowler as Lunella's dad, James Jr.
Fred Tatasciore as the one and only Devil Dinosaur
Gary Anthony Williams as Lunella's grandfather, Pops
So does DD talk, or does he just make generic dinosaur noises?

Dinosaur noises.
Don't recall Lunella having a manager in the comics. She's fiercely independent and chafes at authority.
 
I was just reading Io9's article about the announcent, and they mentioned a voice I forgot about in my other post, Morpheus himself, Laurence Fishburne, who is also an executive producer, is going to be voicing The Beyonder.
They also included a Tweet from one of the show's supervising producers, who said that it was produced entirely from home, and that 75% of the crew have never even met in person.
 
First two episodes on YouTube for now at least:
