Film - Over The Moon

Over The Moon is a Chinese animation about Fei Fei who has grown up hearing stories of the legend of Chang’e from her mum. Realising her widowed dad has stopped believing in the Moon Goddess, Fei Fei sets out to build a rocket to obtain proof of her existence.

Cute as a button, Fei Fei whose sidekick is a pet rabbit can build spaceships like they are an IKEA flat pack despite being handicapped by a new potential step sibling who just wants to be her friend.

There are sad points in this film where my insides hurt so much I couldn’t even cry. Like all good children’s films, It’s utterly worth watching to see life’s magic and joy through the eyes of a child who just wants to keep the memory of her mum alive.
