was pretty cliché and predictable, I mean the moral of the movie was was the goal the main character had to get to it... But it had some originality that wasn't necessarily good or bad, just kinda weird.

I really like the songs, besides the weird ping pong rap battle, the songs feel very Disney-esq. I also really enjoyed the way Lunaria looked, it reminded me a lot of Hanazuki. Bright vibrant colors on a stary backdrop.

The animation was pretty good besides the fact that I hate these character designs. I don't know how to describe it, it's as if they are given too much detail or are too wrinkly? Uncanny valley? Fei Fei looks like she hasn't taken a shower in weeks, her hair is very gross looking.

The voice acting was fine nothing that really stood out to me as bad. Some of the characters though, I really find annoying like Chin. I really wish he wouldn't have gone to the moon with her or they at least made him less annoying.

It's definitely not going to be a movie that I personally keep coming back to or even at all, but maybe you'll enjoy it. As I said the songs are the best part.

This is probably the best Netflix original film I've seen thus far.

...Unfortunately, that's not saying much, given the poor quality of most I've seen. That being said--if Disney/Pixar's Onward didn't already exist, I would have given it 1-2

...Unfortunately, that's not saying much, given the poor quality of most I've seen. That being said--if Disney/Pixar's Onward didn't already exist, I would have given it 1-2 more rankings, as this is essentially an Asian folklore version of that. Too bad it isn't as good. Oh well, I didn't expect that much from this anyway.

it’s so bright?? i’m not sure why certain elements are designed the way it is (everything in Lunaria) but i still understand that this is a good effort in introducing asian culture to americans and it’s mainly targeted at children, hence theit’s so bright?? i’m not sure why certain elements are designed the way it is (everything in Lunaria) but i still understand that this is a good effort in introducing asian culture to americans and it’s mainly targeted at children, hence the medium score but gosh it did Not have to be that bright and colorful and inconsistent with the theme of the movie. the color reminds me of Trolls, but pastel and Bright Expand

A just okay, but worth watching little animated adventure. Don't think it'll be the next great animated feature, but it's a fun viewing expirience.

Pretty good visuals, but no real soul and no surprises. I really thought it was going to be more interesting.

Seria una película mucho mejor si no abusara de las canciones (que si bien no son malas, se sienten forzadas) y una historia que peca de simplista y esta poco explotada.

The issue with this movie is that it feels so familiar to almost every other Disney movie out there which isn’t a bad thing if it was released during the 90’s during the Disney Renaissance. Since it was released in the present day, it’s hardThe issue with this movie is that it feels so familiar to almost every other Disney movie out there which isn’t a bad thing if it was released during the 90’s during the Disney Renaissance. Since it was released in the present day, it’s hard for the film to distinguish itself from other animated films but there is one way that it does, the animation. If there is one thing that you should take away from this film, it’s that the animation is beautiful. It looks so crisp, clean, and vibrant that it’s hard for a viewer to take their eyes off of it. Unfortunately, I think this is all this film will be remembered for. The story isn’t unique. It’s a good story about learning to let go and accept change but we’ve seen those themes and story beats so many times that they don’t hit as hard if it’s not used properly. This is a musical and most of the songs were okay. There were 2 that I enjoyed though and they worked great for the film especially the last song. In fact, the last 25 minutes of this film are great. It’s emotional beats it and the story wraps up nicely but the other hour and 20 minutes are decent. The voice acting is fine. There isn’t a great performance and there isn’t a terrible one either. However, this film resorts to the use of a sidekick and my god is he annoying. I couldn’t stand him at all. Every scene he was in, he ground the film to a halt. The worst part is is that it’s voiced by an actor that I do enjoy and is funny, Ken Jeong. I just don’t know what he was doing here though. If you enjoy animated films, then go check this out but don’t expect something incredibly original. Expand

Maybe I'm wrong but Over The Moon is boring but it does have a great effect and a nice animation, although the script leaves a lot to be done

The animation is amazing but the story and characters aren't that engaging.
