A whimsical new animated adventure is ready to whisk kids away when Isadora Moon makes its Max U.S. streaming debut on January 2. Based on the globally best-selling book series by Harriet Muncaster, the 2D series follows the adventures of a half-vampire, half-fairy girl, her friends at human school, and her wider magical family.
Logline: Isadora Moon is not your typical child; she embodies the magic of both worlds — embracing the enchantment of fairies and sparkles, as well as the powers of her gothic vampire side. This charming series appeals to children and families alike, showcasing themes of self-acceptance, creativity and the beauty of being true to oneself.
Muncaster is the creator, author and illustrator of the Isadora Moon book series, which has sold more than 5 million copies worldwide since launch in 2016 and is available in 42 languages.
“Isadora Moon reminds us that feeling different is not just okay — it’s what makes us truly special. She may not fly as fast as other vampire children, or do magic as well as the fairy kids, but her unique blend of qualities is what sets her apart,” said Muncaster. “Just like Isadora, we all have our own special magic within us. Embrace your individuality, for there is one thing you can do better than anyone else in the world: be yourself!”
“Isadora Moon is more than just a story about a half-vampire, half-fairy girl; it’s a celebration of individuality and self-acceptance that resonates profoundly with children today,” adds Deborah Thorpe, showrunner of the animated series, which is created and produced by her company Kelebek Media. “This series will transport audiences to fantastical new places. Like Harriet, we hope to inspire children everywhere to feel comfortable and proud of being their authentic selves.”
Isadora Moon will premiere with 12 episodes (one 22 minutes long, the rest 11 minutes). Aimed at children four to seven years old, each episode takes viewers on a journey filled with fun, friendship and a sprinkle of magic, perfect for sparking the imaginations of young viewers.
Max is the first U.S. streamer to premiere the series, which is currently Sky Kids’ top rating show in the U.K. The series is also on air in Italy, Sweden, Norway, Israel and Canada.
