Discovering Aubrey Plaza’s New Cartoon Adventure
If you were a fan of Aubrey Plaza playing the dry‑skinned, sarcastic April Ludgate on Parks and Recreation, you’re in for another stellar performance—this time as Laura Feinberg on the adult animated series Little Demon.
Why Laura Feels Like “April on Steroids”
- Single‑mom vibes: Laura is a widowed, one‑child powerhouse who balances motherhood with a demon‑taming career.
- Buffy meets Constantine: Think plenty of supernatural flair, but with a darker, sharper edge.
- Volcanic language: Her foul‑mouth would scare even the most seasoned parents.
Plaza’s Take on the Role
In a recent chat with AsiaOne, 38‑year‑old Plaza shared her excitement about stepping into this “extreme, heightened” version of herself.
“I’ve never really seen a character like this before—especially in animation,” she explained. “It’s a fun mix: I’m a nurturing, single mother on the one hand, but I also got to explore this intense, aggressive side that can’t resist letting loose with men.”
Plaza said that the balancing act between “motherly care” and “ionic chaos” gave her a real playground to let loose and truly play with the character.
What to Expect from the Series
- Sharp humor that cuts to the bone.
- Mom’s day‑to‑day battles with demonic forces.
- Dark, mystical vibes with a comedic twist.
Trust me, if you liked the quirky grit of April, you’ll totally enjoy the equally sharp and slightly darker world Laura brings to life.
Letting Loose: How Daniel DeVito & Lucy DeVito Drop the Haters
“It’s seriously a blast getting to drop whatever words I want—fill the room with choice words, curse, just let it all out.” How would you sum up the vibe when the Little Demon crew finally hits the set? Imagine a scene that feels less like a scripted line and more like a shout‑out from the heart.
Plot Twist: 13 Years After a Demon Birth
- Little Demon (adult animated) leaps 13 years past the moment Laura tiny‑took her absurd contraption—a demon daughter named Chrissy (aka Lucy DeVito)
- They’re living a “normal” life in Delaware; less dragon drama, more Delaware road trips, but spooky forces just don’t give up.
- Principal villain: Satan himself—yes, the same one who’s cast as Lucy’s real‑life dad on screen (the one who actually would like a piece of that soul).
Real‑Life vs. Reel‑Life: The DeVito Dynamic
On the show, Lucy & Danny play the classic twisted helix of a parent & teen. In reality? They’re the two best partners in a different kind of drama.
Lucy, 39, joked, “You can see the characters as exaggerated versions of what I was at 13 and what my dad was when I grew up.” That zip‑line of humor goes straight back to the script, but the storyline stays anonymous—just a fishing of your mind’s marine life.
Why this feels more real
- Lucy’s ability to crack jokes about demons is no cap. She’s fine with the heavy theft of her own narrative.
- Danny embraces a lean-for-the-ride style as the dad who’s been known to add a laugh for the plot.
- Both are in the same boat: they’re rocking the show in light of their angle, steering the data as a biologic loose ‘adventure’ — not tangled up in any real life drama yet.
Bottom line: these two bleed genuinely, fearlessly, and hilariously to mirror a kinda fiery house‑holding. Their version of daily reality is no evil drama—just a strong ridiculousness that cranes in without fabricating an “ironic” cliff. It flies off the screen and lands somewhere ahead on life’s different exon.
Inside Danny 78’s Hollywood Journey and the “Little Demon” Story
Family Life in the Spotlight
“Happily ever after? Not quite.” Through candid remarks, Danny – who’s 78 but still spry – keeps it real about the roots of the sabbatical‑Chrissy narrative. He explains that the backdrop of their relationship is “love, lay‑back and a lot of S‑unshine.”
“Growing up with Satan on the side was kinda like having a dad in the front‑row, always ready to show us a picture book, snag a movie and jump into whatever curious adventure the day demanded.”
Parallels in Their Lives
- Satan – famous, dramatic, a celebrity hero in the house.
- Danny – 78‑year‑old, seasoned star, living the kind of party‑filled life you’d only read about in tabloids.
Lucy’s Whimsy or What it Was
Lucy reflects on her own upbringing: “I grew up in a whirlwind with parties, movie nights and a dad who was a celebrity. It was all above board but also spectacular.”
She highlights the “grand” feeling of being part of a family that loves going big or going home.
Hollywood as a Coming‑of‑Age Playground
“We knew Lucy could hang in this ‘crazy’ world. She’s stood up to the chaos, kept herself safe and still had fun.”
How it fuels the film’s themes:
- Living in the dazzling chaos of Hollywood means learning to stay grounded.
- The journey of a “Little Demon” is about stepping into your own, even when temptation surfaces.
Stand‑Up & Victory
Despite Satan’s temptations, Danny is optimistic: “Little Demon showcases how Chrissy stands up, fights back, and ultimately comes out the victor at the end.”
