I watched this because it was nominated for an Oscar in best animated feature film and it was on Netflix. I was a little skeptical after watching the trailer because it looked kind of weird and far-fetched. Watching the movie reassured me that my skepticism was definitely called for. This movie was terrible.
Over the Moon felt like Netflix's attempt at making a Disney animated movie. It reminded me of Moana and Coco, but much, much worse. I have no idea how this earned an Oscar nomination. The movie follows a teenage girl who lost her mom a couple years ago (already sounding like a Disney movie). When her dad meets a new girl, she gets upset that he would ever love someone else. She goes on an adventure to the moon to find an immortal woman who, according to legend, never gives up on love. She thought that if she could get a picture with that lady, her dad would decide not to marry that other woman. This plot aggravates me very much. I would have been fine if her motivation was literally anything other than what it was. Even "I need to get this picture to prove my family wrong" would have been better. The whole movie I couldn't help but think that she was going through a lot more trouble than she needed to. The actual adventure was ok I guess. I was mostly bored by this point. The rest of my family had fallen asleep already. It reminded me a little bit of the second act of Coco. One thing I did like about this movie was the ending. It was predictable, but still good. If you can get over the setup and the entire first act of this movie, its decent. I couldn't get over it so I'm giving this movie a 3/10.
