Let’s Go Luna! Wins ‘Best Original Music, Animation’ at 2023 Canadian Screen Awards!

On Wednesday, April 12, the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television honoured the best of the best in Canadian kids media at the 2023 Canadian Screen Awards – Children’s and Animation Program.  

We are thrilled to share that composers Ari Posner, Amin Bhatia and Kris Kuzdak took home the award for Best Original Music, Animation in the Television category for their work on the season two episode of Let’s Go Luna! – “Dig it Daddy-O.” 

Let’s Go Luna! follows the hilarious adventures of three friends Leo, a wombat from Australia; Carmen, a butterfly from Mexico; and Andy, a frog from the U.S. as they traverse the globe with their parents’ traveling performance troupe, “Circo Fabuloso.” At each of the Circo’s stops, Luna the Moon guides the trio as they get to know the local region and its people. In “Dig it Daddy-O,” Andy becomes the new Prince of Beatniks in San Francisco and must find a way to live up to the title.

Let’s Go Luna! is produced by 9 Story Media Group and with animation by our award-winning studio Brown Bag Films (Toronto). The series encourages kids ages 4-7 to explore and appreciate world cultures while developing social skills. In Canada, Let’s Go Luna! airs on TVOKids and Knowledge Kids.

This year’s award marks the show’s third time winning in the Best Original Music, Animation category at the Canadian Screen Awards, previously scooping up the honour in both 2021 and 2022. We could not be more over the moon for our incredible Let’s Go Luna! composing team! We would also like to extend a huge round of applause to all the 2023 Canadian Screen Awards winners.
