A whimsical adventure awaits families today as Max presents the U.S. premiere of the Isadora Moon animated series on January 2. Based on the globally best-selling book series by Harriet Muncaster, the show follows a half-vampire, half-fairy girl, her friends at human school, and her wider magical family.
Synopsis: 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.
“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!”
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 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,” added Deborah Thorpe, showrunner of the 2D animated series 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, the remaining 11-minutes). Kelebek Media developed and produced the 2D animated series for children ages 4 to 7.
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, Canada.
