Thoughts on Over The Moon?
Thoughts on Over The Moon?

The songs are shit, the plot is slapped together and paced weird, they try to really ground it in reality with her being smart enough to make this rocket but everything is so fantasy that it just does not work together, Pointless pet rabbit, cringe Ken Jong and Margaret cho ever as voices
Looks really pretty though and the animation is great.

Like most western things trying to court the chink market, it was bad and forgettable.
Jace Kelly
Well animated and had some good ideas scattered throughout it but overall it wasn't much to write home about.
The core plot was supposed to be about two small broken families coming together to make a whole family with an emphasis on acknowledging the past but moving on - all of which was then wrapped in Chinese mythology. And I think its on those two points where they dropped the ball(s).
First the family coming together should have been the heart of the film but it simply wasn't engaging. I didn't really care or believe if the main character accepted her new brother or mother. I wasn't rooting against them but I wasn't rooting for them either.
Secondly - although there is certainly a lack of knowledge about Chinese mythology on the part of many westerners it hardly matters. It's the films job to make the lore accessible to its audience and they failed. The Moon queen was a strange mess of a character. Villain, helper, victim, diva, ect. All at the same time. Although her desire is spelled out for us from the start her actions are strange and puzzling at times. I'm not sure what they were going for. I'm sure there are cultural explanations for many of the metaphors in the film but they did a poor job of making the audience understand them.
Overall it was well animated but had forgettable characters, plot, and music.
Xavier Reyes
Only the songs by the moon Princess were notable, especially Ultra luminary. Suffered from taking too long to get to the moon and having too many really similar songs blending together early on. The film was obviously influenced by the people funding it. There are limits to how many cultural references you can cram in, the Ping pong battle was inadvertently comical because of how on the nose it was.
It wasn't bad overall, but it's hard not to go into it knowing the talent behind it and not to expect Disney renaissance. Hope Glen Keane gets another shot and gets a more traditional story next time.
Lucas Jones
It got a limited theatrical release in China and still flopped
Eli Scott
The moon waifu was cool. The plot was idiotic
Aiden Gomez
Chang'e was hot
Carson Bell
Jeremiah Adams
Best outfit
Angel Sullivan
Chang'e was very hot
Jeremiah Morales
Are mooncakes any good are are they the usual mushy, claggy outside with the normal bean paste filling that you get all the time with Asian desserts?
Lucas Lopez
I know it is not as good as Disney/Pixar shit but I really liked it. I think the songs were good.
>Secondly
I agree with this. What the most noticeable was for me is that I think there was a whole subplot about what actually happened in the legend. We got several different versions of it from the family. I thought this is a setup to reveal it might have been her fault (or not) and she feels guilty about it. Maybe she wasn't even love with the guy or something. This is supported by her breaking the confident diva character when the little girl talks about love. Then she loses the table tennis battle because the boy calls her out on (deliberately) eating both the eternal life somethings. This might have been cut at the very end of the production.

They really nailed her. I liked the little girl and her song to the moon, but she was overshadowed by the goddess instantly and this made going back for the gift very weak (especially with the unnecessary hedgehog? and his song). Afterwards I only really wanted to see the goddess.
Jordan Reed
I think the hedgehog was a pangolin.

I wish I could nail her...
Justin Martin
>table tennis battle
Eh, this looks boring.
>pulls sports outfit
>levitates above to show who is in charge
>diss you
>slams her heel on the table with the most alpha bitch face possible
MUH
It was a good song.
Brandon Butler
I kept comparing it to that DreamWorks yeti movie. I think its called Abominable, I don't care to look it up. But I thought Over the Moon was a million times better than Abominable.
Jaxson Perry
I want Chang'e to kill me with her thighs
Luis Brooks
I hated the little brother and I wished he was aborted from the plot.
Owen Davis
I liked it.
I really like how Fei Fei looks like The Little Prince.
John Wood
This
I went in and jerked off to the moon goddess and left
Samuel Taylor
they did a good job with her doll
Adam Reed
Wait, like, went into a public movie theater and just started jerking it?
Liam Phillips
the girl songs are super fucking weird, she starts singing in the middle of a crowd and always feel like "yeap, Fei Fei is having one of her episodes again". Praise the moon thou
Wyatt Thompson
I'm the only one bothered by her hair after the time skip? if she got over her trauma she should've let it grow again, or at least fixed it a bit, bitch needs length
Lincoln Martinez
I don’t really mind either way.
I can see her growing her hair out as a sign that she’s moved on, or keeping it short because she likes it and because even though she’s moved on, she still misses her mom and still keeps it short in mourning. Or just cause filmmakers didn’t want to fuck with her look at the end.
Sebastian Powell
rude
Grayson Foster
hes only contribution was getting Cheng'e in that sports outfit, therefore he is the most important character in the movie
Cooper Taylor
Looks like absolute shit.
