* AnAesop:
** In "Bonjour, Au Revoir, Adios", Senor Fabuloso and the French clown twins (Bonjour and Au Revoir) argue over whether New Orleans is more Spanish or French. They learn that obsessive nationalism isn't good, and that other people shaped New Orleans such as Africans and Native Americans.
** In "Kick It Good", Andy thinks that Thailand copied volleyball with their sport takraw, but learns that sports from around the world can be similar, but also different and just as good.
** Many characters have bad mental health as a result of childhood trauma (Salami being bullied by his sisters, Senor Fabuloso's friends abandoning him, [[spoiler:not to mention his 10th birthday disaster]]) or just in general (Leo is fearful of everything, craves approval, and wants things to be the way ''he'' likes it). The show, through episodes like "Not Home on the Range", "Volcano Boy", "Meet the Strongs", "Time of Goodbye", and "Gaja's Birthday", show us that ''it's okay not to be okay'', and that your past is not your present or future. It also encourages talking to someone you trust about these issues so they can help you (i.e, Luna).
** Multiple episodes, such as "Aren't We a Pair?" and "Hip Life", teach us to separate stereotypes from reality, as nonwhite countries like Egypt and Ghana ''aren't'' ancient like they're commonly depicted to be in media. Interestingly, both these episodes involve Carmen.
** "Grumpa Comes to Call" -- Sometimes, you just have to give someone what they want. Carmen's family thinks that bitter foods make Grumpa grouchy, but that's not true in the end. He's only grumpy because of his aching bones. When he finally gets orange marmalade that's just the right amount of bitter, he finally smiles.
%%** "Boomin' Boomerang" has a moral of believing in yourself.
%%** "Pulling Strings" - Fighting doesn't solve anything. It's better to compromise.
%%** "Turkish Delight" - It's good to listen to people with more experience than you.
** The moral of "Longbeak the Pirate" is that 'you can still have fun with fantasies while knowing that fiction isn't the same as reality.' Ronica encourages the kids to continue play-acting pirate tropes, even though most of them never happened in real life.
** "Shaky, Rattle and Roll" - Shaky teaches Leo that it's not how you fall down, it's how you get up that matters.

Added DiffLines:

** "Meet the Strongs" reveals that Salami has one with his older sisters, Capicola and Pancetta, who constantly bully him.

Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope


* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The show has hundreds of characters thanks to the various international characters that appear in one episode and then never show up again. Because they only appear in one episode each, they lack proper characterization and thus almost no tropes, so the show's [[Characters/LetsGoLuna character page]] only lists the main characters, as well as the other Circo Fabuloso members, as they all appear on a consistent basis.
