This was truly fantastic! You'd expect Disney/Pixar to make this film, but Netflix beat em to it! And Ken Jeong voicing Gobi; hilarious! He was like the new Olaf. I truly enjoyed this film.

Over The Moon is a beautifully animated musical that blends Chinese mythology with modern themes, focusing on a young girl’s journey through grief and healing after her mother’s death. While the film creatively reimagines the legend of Chang’e, it leaves some story elements unresolved, especially regarding the true version of the myth. With vibrant visuals, emotional songs, and a heartfelt message, the film resonates deeply with viewers learning to accept loss and move forward.
