Luna the moon guides three friends -- a wombat, a butterfly and a frog -- as they visit new places around the world with their parents' travelling performance troupe.

Cast of Characters

 * Luna is Earth's Moon herself, who guides Leo, Andy, and Carmen on their trips during the daytime. Luna knows every person in the world and has magical capabilities. Her size gives her a problem with doorways and enclosed spaces, often involving a degree of uncomfortable squeezing to enter. She also has an uncontrollable urge to dance when she hears happy music.
 * Leo Chockers is a 7-year-old wombat from Sydney, Australia who is learning to become a cook like his father.
 * Andy Hopper is a 8-year-old frog from the United States who loves art.
 * Carmen Mariposa is a 8-year-old butterfly from Mexico City, Mexico who plays a Spanish guitar handed down from her deceased grandmother.
 * Magic Globe is a miniature globe of the world that lives in Carmen's pocket and can share information about the places that the children visit.
 * Señor Moncarlo Fabuloso, a flamingo from Barcelona, Spain and the ringmaster of Circo Fabuloso.
 * Honey, Carmen's mischievous yellow pet hamster. She often escapes from her cage, but it is only because she is curious and wishes to be included.
 * Mr. Hockbar, a Thai vole who does many of the 'behind the scenes' jobs such as selling tickets, setting up the Circo's schedule and making certain everything runs smoothly. He is full of energy and has a tendency to get worked up and rush around when many things need doing, which can stress out the other members of the Circo.
 * Maria Mariposa, Carmen's single mother, and the conductor of the Circo Fabuloso Band.
 * Wolfgang Chockers, Leo’s father, and the Circo's resident chef.
 * Pippa Chockers, Leo’s mother, and the Circo's carpenter. She is also responsible for designing and building the stage sets.
 * Mathilda Chockers, Leo's infant sister.
 * Lucie Hopper, Andy’s mother, and the Circo's costume designer.
 * Sam Hopper, Andy’s father and the Circo's prop-maker.


 * Bonjour and Au Revoir, twin mandrill brothers from Paris, France who work as clowns. Bonjour's mask is purple and Au Revoir's is green.
 * Ingrid Svenson-Benson, a centipede from Sweden, and the Circo’s contortionist.


 * Salami Strong, an alligator from Italy, and the Circo’s strongman.
 * Pablo, an armadillo from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, who performs with the Melvinis, a group of six living bowling pins.


 * The Acronauts, a trio of acorn-shaped bears.


 * Viktorya and Boris Durov, juggling bears from Russia.
 * Fong, A big bull who likes to play basketball.
 * Pico, Carmen's armadillo friend from Mexico City.
 * Skye (voiced by Bryn McAuley), a red fox from Juneau.


 * Vitoria (voiced by Bailey Stocker)


 * Ramona (voiced by Molly Lewis) is a Spanish mouse from Barcelona.


 * Iker (voiced by Leo Orgil)


 * Lek (voiced by Duff MacDonald)


 * Hudson Horstachio: A horse piñata with a green teal body like a pistachio, Hudson is one of the most popular piñatas in the business. As a celebrity he sometimes has to disguise himself when in public. His friends often have to keep his ego in check. He enjoys dancing and making extravagant statements about himself.
 * Paulie Pretztail: A cross between a pretzel and a red-tailed fox, Paulie is a no-nonsense kind of pinata who could easily be considered to be "the clever-cloggs" of the main cast (besides Les). He is Fergy's best friend and shares his aversion towards being sent to parties (though it seems more of an annoyance to him, rather than Fergy's idea of thinking of going to a party as frightening). He seems to be good at cooking as shown in the episode ' Recipe for Disaster'.
 * Fergy Fudgehog: A cross between fudge and a hedgehog, Fergy loves candy, but fears parties. He is Paulie's best friend, and is frequently sought out by Langston to attend parties but always manages to escape his bugcatcher's net. His catchphrase is "Oh, fudge!"


 * Franklin Fizzlybear: A brown grizzly bear with purple and yellow stripes. He enjoys surfing, and typically speaks with a surfer accent and related expressions. He is fairly laid back and occasionally has moments of intellectualism. He is not good at lying. He also draws portraits of the other pinatas. In the video game, his surfboard is an item that the player can purchase.


 * Ella Elephanilla: (voiced by Rebecca Soler) A cross between an elephant and vanilla, Ella suffers from short-term memory loss, thus contradicting the saying that an elephant never forgets. She enjoys ballet. Because of her elegant moves, this caused Paulie and Fergy to both get huge, temporary crushes on her. They even asked her to a dance, but she forgot they had both asked her. No evidence has been shown that both Fergy and Paulie still have a crush on her, if they do, they are very subtle about it.


 * Langston Lickatoad: A cross between a licorice and a toad, Langston operates the Cannoñata. He regularly tries to catch the stealthy duo Fergy and Paulie in order to send them to parties.


 * Pecky Pudgeon: Pecky takes photos for the local newspaper of Piñata Island, the Pinata Yada Yada. He loves gossiping about everyone and will go to great lengths to bring in a juicy scoop for the paper. (He makes a cameo in the game taking a photo of Gretchen when she first appears)
 * Pierre Parrybo: Pierre organizes various activities on Piñata Island. He's also the DJ for a call-in radio show.


 * Petunia Pretztail: A kung-fu warrior who is friends with Florence Fizzlybear, Francine Fudgehog, and especially Haily Hostachio, and teaches Fergy and Paulie how to find their own "fu".
