I have to admit, this caught me quite by surprise. I did not have this on my radar (which makes sense since this over the moon ... no I'm not sorry, even if you won't excuse the pun) ... but this is quite the discovery - ok I promise that was the last pun ... maybe.

The movie is funnier than this though (unless you think my puns are hillarious ... than it's equal)! A family film, with pets (extra bonus for me for one of them being a bunny) and siblings ... that you love to hate ... though mostly come to realize you love. There are a lot of nice things and nice touches the movie brings you. Social messages, but also a lot of fun. A decent story about finding yourself through the search of something different ... you know, growing up and stuff. Fun for the whole family, with very good visuals

Right, well when I sat down to watch the 2020 animated movie "Over the Moon" I wasn't really expecting much from it. Why? Well, I hadn't really heard about it, and I had just casually browsed through it a couple of times whilst perusing the contents of Netflix. But I eventually opted to sit down and watch it.

And I must say wow. This animated movie was spectacular, and if you are only watching one animated movie of 2020, you should definitely sit down to watch "Over the Moon".

The storyline told in "Over the Moon" was one that held a lot of aspects to it, lots of different layers of the storyline to explore, so I will say that there is something for just about everyone in the audience sitting down to watch "Over the Moon", be they young or old.

Aside from having a moving and entertaining storyline, then the animated movie was just spectacularly beautiful to sit through. Visually it was very pleasing for the eyes. I really liked the art style they opted to use in "Over the Moon", because it really complimented the storyline quite a lot. And the level of details and attention to details in every scene was just spectacular. I really liked how they managed to give the characters life and unique characteristics. I mean, for an animated movie, then "Over the Moon" really stood out as being not only memorable, but also beautiful.

With this being an animated movie, you are in for an excessive amount of singing as well. Which is something that I could have been without. Sure, there tend to be singing in a lot of animated movies, but it is just not something I am a fan of. And it was gnawing at me as I sat through "Over the Moon".

For me, "Over the Moon" was definitely one of the most memorable movie experiences to make it to the screen in 2020. If you enjoy animated movies, then I can warmly recommend that you find the time to sit down and watch "Over the Moon", be it alone, with your loved one, or with the family, as there is something for everyone to enjoy here. This is also an animated movie that has enough contents to be watched more than once.

My rating of "Over the Moon" settles on a well-deserved eight out of ten stars - or moons! Get it?

Over the Moon starts off with a lot of promise. The animation is beautiful, and the story is touching & relatable. However, about halfway through, this film loses its trajectory. The songs are enjoyable in the moment but are soon forgotten. And Bungee the rabbit was great, even while the rest of the cast was fairly bland. This movie tries really hard to capture the feel of classic Disney/Pixar, yet it doesn't quite reach the target.
