[@joshua2337]

Inspired by Lucy Lamp Light the lamp lady from Letter-Land, a light house at United States of America, and The Darling Nursery from Disney's Peter Pan, I've decided to create a 2023 American live action/computer-animated musical fantasy tv show called "Disney's Luna Lamp Light". Its plot tells a story about a titular friendly and kindhearted black-haired Chinese-born American teenage girl in a yellow dress called Luna Lamp Light who wears a bright yellow lampshade on her head, speaks with a sweet American accent and lives in her American apartment where she pretends to be a human-sculpted house lamp and works as a lovely lamp lady at her lighthouse where she serves as a lighthouse's lightbulb and her trademark friendly looking face and smile lights up everything around her wherever she glows in the dark. She makes new friends with live action characters along the way while defeating the villains.

[@joshua2337]

"Disney's Luna Lamp Light" Voice Cast: Teresa Gallagher as Luna Lamp Light, a friendly and kindhearted black-haired Chinese-born American teenage girl in a yellow dress who wears a bright yellow lampshade on her head, speaks with a sweet American accent and lives in her American apartment where she pretends to be a human-sculpted house lamp and works as a lovely lamp lady where she serves as a lighthouse's lightbulb and her trademark friendly looking face and smile lights up everything around her wherever she glows in the dark. She makes new friends with live action characters along the way while defeating the villains. She also finds herself standing against the wall behind a chair wherever she pretends to be a human-sculpted house lamp. Additional voice actress and voice actors.
