I better be seeing all y'all
at the annual Block Party!
- Don't miss it!
- (car screeching)
MOON GIRL:
A runaway self-driving car?
Ugh! D, you block its path
while I hack in!
(Devil Dinosaur grunts)
(growls)
(trilling)
Oh, Casey! Hi, girl!
Where are you?!
The ceremony is about to start
and Council President Peña
is lookin' antsy!
Yeah, yeah!
I'll be there in a blink! Bye!
- (tires screech)
- (grunts)
(strains)
President Peña!
You never got back to me
about the stage permit
for the Block Party!
Always keeping me on my toes,
Mrs. Lafayette. Yeah.
(tires screeching)
(gasps)
Ahhh!
(cheering)
That's what I'm talkin' about!
Moon Girl Magic!
What I say? I told you
I'd be here in a blink!
♪
I'm so sure I speak for
everyone in the neighborhood
when I say we are
so grateful for local heroes
- Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur!
- (cheering)
On behalf of
the Borough Council,
I am thrilled to
present you today
these special badges
honoring you as
official Lower East Side
Community Captains!
(cheering)
Oh, you know it!
(whoops)
My mascara isn't smudging,
your mascara is smudging!
(grunts)
Uh, we'll get you
a lanyard later.
- (cheering)
- (cameras clicking)
(lo-fi chill)
Hey! I missed you
at the ceremony today!
Moon Girl flew in
and everything!
- Where were you?
- Oh! I had a council
- uh, thing!
- A student council thing!
Student council? Since when?
Um Last week-- got bit by
the leadership bug!
Nibble-nibble!
Heh heh But please!
Continue on about
your favorite neighborhood hero!
Oh, she's not just a hero, my
girl's a Community Captain now!
Yep! Mm-hmm.
Getting recognized like that
is a pretty big deal, huh?
And more importantly, it means
she's a voice for the community.
I dunno, Mom--
Moon Girl isn't really
a "give big speeches
and inspire people" type.
She's more of a "beat up
the goonies to a dope soundtrack type!"
- Right?
- Please!
She's way more than that.
She's both a hero
and a role model.
Her voice and how she uses it
are incredibly important.
I just hope Moon Girl comes
to the block party.
- Y'know, little miss publicist?
- (laughs)
Mrs. L., you think
I'd let my client miss
the annual event that
celebrates our little block?
I'll call her right now.
(line ringing)
You got Moon Girl!
Hey, girl!
Just makin' sure
you're gonna be
at the block partay!
(grunts)
You know it, baby!
You see?!
She'll definitely--
We'll smack those
villains down!
Ten extra-large pepperoni--
She must be multitasking.
Super hero, super busy, y'know!
(sighs)
Well, I'm glad she's coming.
Matta fact, I've got some
special tracks on tap.
- Just for her!
- (phone vibrates)
Ooh! I gotta go pick up
some food donations
See y'all!
(door opens and closes)
What's with the frownies?!
I dunno, Case
it's this "voice for
the community" thing!
Am I really a poster child?
People care about what
Moon Girl has to say, Lu,
and that sparkly
new badge is proof!
(gasps)
It's Council Prez Peña!
He wants to meet with you
and D tomorrow!
♪
Moon Girl! Thanks for coming.
There are some people
I'd like you to meet.
Let me introduce
(both gasp)
You can call me Marcy!
And you can call me Marty!
We're the Muzzlers!
The Muzzlers are a
Great American Success Story.
They started in their garage
with a revolutionary
noise-cancelling device
called the "Muzzler!"
As seen on TV!
- (baby cries)
- (Marty) Noisy neighbors?
(Marcy) Barking dogs?
(Marty) Blaring traffic?
(Marcy) Point this cute
lil' gray box
at the problem,
and voila!
(Beyonder) They spun their success
with the Muzzler
into an entire line
of helpful home inventions.
They even created
a home-improvement show,
using their inventions
to help people, quote,
"Make their best homes!"
And that's not all.
Marcy is modeling
our newest innovation!
That's right, Marty!
This stylish
yet comfortable bodysuit
is powered by
a teensy nuclear battery,
so it feels like a warm hug
all day long!
(both) We call it the Nuzzler!
Well, your rep for top tech
definitely precedes you!
I've never seen active
noise-cancellation
like the Muzzler.
And your rep for heroics
precedes you, Moon Girl!
You saved our
malfunctioning car yesterday!
Ooh--uh, hold up.
That was your car?!
The Drive-zler.
The name doesn't
work yet either.
Well--Maybe I can fix it.
They actually
have a bigger request.
They're looking to move to
the Lower East Side.
make it their home--
and have offered their resources
to improve the community!
We have a whole
initiative in mind!
- We call it--
-"Make the Best LES!"
And they want you to be
the face of the campaign!
- (noisemakers honk)
- No disrespect but
do we really need
"improvements?"
The LES is already
pretty dope
But there's always room
to be "dope-er!"
If we'd stopped improving
the Muzzler after version 1.0,
you'd still be able to hear
your neighbor's chihuahua!
I guess that makes sense.
I'm always tryin' to
improve my tech, too
Speaking of which,
we've already upgraded
the computers over at I.S. 833!
Oh, for real?!
Oh, good, those things
were janky!
Uh, so I've heard.
And like your Mom said:
Moon Girl's gotta use her voice!
- Okay! I'm your girl!
- Yeah, she is!
- Hot diggity!
- Yippee-kai-yay!
(both)
Let's make the best LES!

Hmm. You're right
isn't this where
that dope mural used to be?
- Oh yeah.
- Well, that's weird.
- Why would they cover--
- (man) Hey!
- Get yer paws offa my falafel!
- (alarm sounds)
(grunts)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What is going on?
This unlicensed food cart
is in violation
of the new vendor regulations.
(Moon Girl and Casey)
Vendor what?!
Only pre-approved
Muzzlebot Vending Machines
are permitted on this block.
Your ticket, sir.
What?! But I've been
selling falafel here
for fifteen years!
Thank you for making
the best LES!
(beeping, whirring)
(angelic choir sings)
(Casey) "Digestible
food-based products"
- Yum
- Yeah, okay--
something is definitely
not right around here.
(Ahmed) Help!
(growls)
You may have thought
bats were nocturnal,
but this bad mama jamma
wreaks havoc night and day!
- Ha ha!
- (grunts)
Yeah definitely a track
number five villain.
(upbeat music playing)
Ooh! Oh, yeah!
- We did that.
- (grunts)
(whirring)
What's this for?
"No Public Music"?!
"Decibel Danger"?!
(stammers)
That's not even a thing!
Thank you for
making the best LES!
(beeping)
No graffiti, no food carts,
and now no music?!
This isn't making the best LES,
it's making a mess of the LES!
- (grunts)
- You said it, D!
This Community Captain
is gonna have words
with somebody!
Whoa!
(beeping, whirring)
- Are you Adria Lafayette?
- Who's askin'?
You have been served!
What?!
Moon Girl!
We did a little
home improvement!
Check out the Silent Sound Bath.
Oh, and there's a toilet
that comes when you call it!
Somewhere 'round here
What's with all the new rules
around the LES?!
It's not even the same
neighborhood anymore!
- (both laugh)
- Uh, sweetie?
That's the point.
(beeping, whirring)
Your little block is tres bon,
but we're making it better .
All those clashing colors,
eyesore vendors,
and cacophony in the streets
were just blech!
- What?!
- But now, thanks to our signature
soothing gray design scheme
and revolutionary technology
What is this?!
all that noise-- both for the
ear and the eye
will be a thing of the past!
(both laugh)
Come on, pumpkin.
It's beautified!
It's fancified!
It's gentrified!
This isn't your
home improvement show!
If you wanna live here,
you can't just change everything!
New computers are great,
but stripping away
our whole culture?
It's like ripping out
the heart of the LES!
People get heart transplants
all the time.
I've had three!
100% synthetic,
our very own invention!
Order right now
and we'll double your offer!
- Moon Girl!
- Ahh!
President Peña!
Thank gravity you're here!
You gotta call off
this initiative!
I I can't do that!
Do you have any idea how much
money they've donated?!
Besides, they just want to make
the best LES, right?
They're trying to make it
their LES!
We have to stop this.
I'm telling you as Community Captain!
Well, ah-- it's kind of
a--a ceremonial role.
It doesn't really have
any real authority.
What? But I--
Ah-ah-ah!
Butts are for toilet seats!
Speaking of which--
here, potty potty potty
- So, how'd it go?
- (grunts)
Oh, incalculably awful!
As a matter of fact,
this can't get any worse!
There you are!
I was just issued
a cease and
desist for the Block Party!
It's been banned!
- What?
-En serio?
Yeah! That's right!
Thanks to this
"Make the Best LES" trash,
the whole neighborhood
is slipping away!
How could you support
something like this, Moon Girl?!
I--
(sighs)
I thought you were supposed to
look out for us.
To speak out for us.
(sighs)
I guess I expected too much.

(knocking on door)
Hey, Lil' Bit you okay?
I feel like you've been
avoiding me
since you got home.
No, no! I'm great!
(chuckles)
Never better.
Lu, you know
I made you right?
Which means I know you.
So spill it.
Lu?
Well
I joined this thing
Oh, the student council thing?
Yeah, that's it
the student council.
At first, I did it because
it seemed like a big honor,
and then I thought maybe
I could use my voice
to do good things for
the community
of students, I mean
But I did it all wrong,
and let everyone down,
and now the whole
place has changed
and everything
is terrible!
Well, what are you gonna do?
There's nothing I can do!
I tried using my voice
like you always do
but turns out
my voice doesn't matter.
Lunella.
Your voice does matter.
It always matters.
- You just have to use it wisely.
- But how?
People make themselves heard
with more than just words.
Artists speak through their art.
Cooks speak through their food.
I speak through my music.
You can always find
a way to be heard.
Always?
Always.
(sighs) Much needed.
(sighs) I still gotta figure out
what to do with all that food
since the Block Party
got cancelled.
(groans) My playlist
was gonna be bumpin' too!
(door closes)
(gasps) That's it!
Whoa, whoa. Wait!
Don't toss that out!
Why?
You gonna give me a ticket?
- (honking)
- (sniffs)
Oh, Lord,
please don't eat me!
I've got dumplings!
(growls)
(grunts)
- No, Devil!
- (groans)
Look, I'm sorry that
I let you down.
I never wanted this to happen
to our neighborhood.
But I have an idea to fix it.
And I can't do it without you.

This is our block,
so we won't stop!
Hello, LES!
It's great to see
all your beautiful faces!
Oh, yeah! It's a Block Party
protest now, y'all!
(cheering)
Now listen-- today isn't
just about having fun
and raising our spirits
It's also about
raising our voices
against the changes
tearing our community apart!
Our block is colorful, vibrant,
lively, and diverse!
And that's why the LES
has always been the best!
Now lets get it poppin'
and keep on rockin'
as we take it back, y'all!
(Marcy) Ahem!
Tell 'em, El Presidente!
Uh-- Moon Girl?
Look, as Community Captain,
you need to shut this down.
Please.
Oh, my role is ceremonial, remember?
And we ceremoniously resign.
You grew up here too, Diego!
Do you really wanna see the soul
of the LES disappear
on your watch?

Walls full o' scribble scrabble

Blaring!
But if we can't
have it our way,

Oh, no, a cat in a tree?!

Huh. I really wanted
to thank her.
Oh, I'm sure you'll
see her again real soon
Hey, there's Lunella!
Hey! Am I too late?
Sorry, my Student Council
thing ran over--
No, baby, you're fine!
A lot to tell you bout, but
how did things go with you?
Let's just say I figured out
how to use my voice wisely.
Oh, that's great!
I'm so proud of you, Lunella.
So I heard Moon Girl
was here?
Saved the LES and
lived up to her rep!
Gotta admire that girl.
I'm sure she admires
you even more, Mom.
Y'know, Lu
Moon Girl reminds me
a lot of you.
But her momma must be crazy
to let her run around
fightin' supervillains. Ha!
