- QUICK TAKE:
- Computer-Animated Musical: A girl sets off for the moon to prove not only that an immortal goddess is real, but also that love continues after death, all to prevent her widowed father from forgetting his late wife and remarrying.
- PLOT:
Fei Fei (voice of BRYCEN TAYLOR HALL) is a young girl who lives in a Japanese town with her parents, Ba Ba (voice of JOHN CHO) and Ma Ma (voice of RUTHIE ANN MILES) and enjoys repeatedly hearing the legend of Chang'e who gained immortality but in doing so lost her lover, Houyi, only to ascend to the moon where she's longed for him ever since.
Fei Fei's parents run a small restaurant that sells mooncakes -- especially during the annual Moon Festival -- and everything seems perfect for them. But then Ma Ma gets sick, eventually passes away, and now four years later Fei Fei (voice of CATHY ANG) still grieves for her mother while taking her place in the mooncake shop.
Thus, she's shocked to learn that her dad has a girlfriend in Mrs. Zhong (voice of SANDRA OH), and it doesn't help that her hyperactive 8-year-old son, Chin (voice of ROBERT F. CHIU), is an irritant to Fei Fei. In a mixed moment of desperation and inspiration, the girl figures that if she can somehow get to the moon to prove that Chang'e exists and that one doesn't give up on love, then her dad won't forget her mom and then marry Zhong.
Through determination, smarts, and some luck, Fei Fei manages to get to the moon, but isn't happy to discover Chin as her surprise stowaway. They eventually meet Chang'e (voice of PHILLIPA SOO), who's a cross between the queen of Lunaria and a diva pop star. But that woman expects an unspecified gift from them in exchange for photographic proof she exists for Fei Fei's dad.
The girl then sets out to find that unknown thing and ends up getting help from a court castaway, the chatty and effervescent Gobi (voice of KEN JEONG). With everyone else from Lunaria also trying to find the mysterious gift, Fei Fei must pull out all the stops to beat them to it and eventually return to Earth to convince her dad to remember and never stop loving her mom.
- WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
- They probably will if they like animated movies.
- WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
- For some thematic elements and mild action.
