Trick Moon is an impressive pilot short that reminds me of Sonic SatAM, if it had the humor of AoSTH and the setting of shows like Adventure Time and Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart.
Basically, the theme song explains the story, as the Prince is sealed inside the moonstone, and therefore, it falls to his two younger siblings, Trickshot, who wields a bow and arrow, and Pocket, who is a thief with a magic bag that holds anything, to protect it. However, being kids, they'd rather goof off and have fun instead of taking their new responsibility as Moonkeepers seriously, and this is how the episode goes, as an evil raccoon named Mage steals the moonstone for the evil Dr. Bleak and the two must get it back.
For a cartoon, this is a neat idea. The fact that Trickshot and Pocket are cubs who don't take their responsibility seriously is what makes this funny, and it has some noticeable voice actors (Trickshot is voiced by Jessica McKenna, who has done voices for other cartoon show, including DC Super Hero Girls and Craig Of The Creek, and Pocket is voiced by Kath Soucie, as she uses the same voice she used for Lil, one of the two characters she voiced in Rugrats), and the humor is actually enjoyable. I hope this pilot gets greenlit into a full series (if not on Cartoon Network, maybe put it on HBO Max).
