2/5
The computer animation is surprisingly good. However, the characters, mostly drawn from German folklore, are sketchy and unappealing and the storytelling is a mess. Go to Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 08/02/2021

Derivative but adequate... Go to Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media 07/28/2022
2/5
Visually, there's no shortage of awe inspiring cosmic invention as the adventure kicks off into space, with dairy lands and giant bears. Which is why it's so miserable to see zero invention when it comes to the characters. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 08/12/2021

Young children entertained by noisy silliness may enjoy it, but anyone in need of a coherent narrative should be warned. Go to Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film 08/04/2021
2.5/5
Although the film doesn't stand well on its own, it has a lot that will appeal to the under-sevens and could work well as a companion to the book or an accompaniment to discussion and structured play. Go to Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 08/02/2021
2.5/5
While delivering an uplifting message that bravery and strength is not always a matter of size, Moonbound isn't exactly stratospheric family entertainment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Peter W @RT12077588 09/18/2023 This is a well-animated family film with many fun elements relating to creativity and a fantasy world. The plot is delightful, taking its family audiences on a light-hearted, fun, and brainless journey to the moon. It is undoubtedly an animation that delivers new fantasy elements that warrant a fun time. This is one family film that honestly exceeded my expectations.
