I am European, so I'm entitled to this question. I want my money and 90 minutes of my life back. This movie is straight to streaming material, stay well away from it in the cinemas. It is a prime example of how inferior European filmmaking is to American filmmaking when it comes to creating captivating movies that you can watch together with your children. This movie has no character development, no real engaging conflict, nothing in it for the parents. Just a shallow, derivative storyline peppered with sudden uncalled for jerks, farts and falls. Because, you know, children. And don't get me started on the uncomfortable stereotypes.
In a nutshell, using soap opera lingo, it's like a classic good vs. Bad story, just set on the moon. If we're talking about a repetitive plot, "Moonbound" is way more repetitive compared to something like "The Super Mario Bros Movie." It has the good guys, the bad guys, and the saving-the-day routine, but it lacks the additional plot twists involving the main character's struggles and romantic entanglements. This movie didn't really leave an impression. Maybe it's safe to say it's an animated film more suited for kids. After all, the whole rescue plot flows smoothly without much complexity or guessing involved.
Well. Maybe some nice animations but that's it. Characters not well evolved and do stupid things all the time. Stereotypes everywhere and the laughs? Haven't been much. Not recommend to watch at all.

No storyline development, just put everything together and make a cartoon. Was not even interesting for my kids. Typical modern quick production junk, just quantity over quality.
This is perhaps one of the worst movie I have seen in recent years, animated or not.
Its absolutely baffling how it manages to both nonsensical but also incredibly cliched and unimaginative, jumping randomly from one thing to another almost like "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story ", but without none of the cheesy 90s charm that movie had.
The animation is not that bad. Not great, but not terrible either. But the writing, on the other hand, its absolutely atrocious. I know this is a something made for very little kids and all that jazz, but I genuinelly believe this is the type of movie that can make kids dumber.
It doesn't even teach anything to kids, is just dumb.

Loved this little gem. It was just so fun!
I like the line in this said by the nasty Moonman quote, "The Good, The Bug and The Ugly", unquote. Though I think I would have said, "The Good, The Sad and The Bugly". You'll know why should you choose to view this annimated delight.
It has all the hallmarks of childrens entertainment (no matter what size or age should that child be... :) lol). Bullies, Crazies, Bad guy...Booo, Fairy...yay, whacky script and lovely graphics and - the most important of all - that feel good factor that just makes you thoroughly HAPPY!
I have never seen an Austrian, German animated film collaboration before (not that it really matters what countries are involved...its either good or its bad is all that matters).
