If you give love, you will never lose love.. It only grows.



An animated musical about a mythical moon goddess Chang'e (voiced by Phillipa Soo) who needs a particular gift that would re-unite her with dead lover Houyi (voiced by Conrad Ricamora). Fei Fei (voiced by Cathy Ang) who lost her mother sees her father move on in past years to an extent that he wants to marry again, a thought that doesn't go well with her making her develop a rocket that would help her reach out Chang'e, and find proof of Chang'e been a reality so that her father would realize how Fei Fei's tales of Chang'e eternal love were true and maybe he would abandon the idea of moving on. 

The setting of going to an imaginary afterlife place reminded of 'Coco' but the comparison stops there. Also, 'Rocket to the Moon' track reminded me of 'Frozen' track, again the comparison ends there. 

More than the story it were 3 animation characters, Fei Fei, cute Bungee (Fei Fei's rabbit, voiced by Edie Ichioka) and Fei Fei's new friend on moon, Gobi (voiced by Ken Jeong) that made me liked the movie. Their interactions made for some very fun and sweet moments, if only the story and the entire setting of Chang'e place or those Mooncake shaped Lunette's were interesting enough too. The songs were a disappointment too being a musical.

Chin (voiced by Robert G Chiu), at start felt irritating, but his going through the walls thing was funny and so was the latter scenes where he tries to help out his soon to be sister Fei Fei as he believes. Love the scene where Fei Fei lets Bungee stay over the moon, and also when Gobi narrates his past story. And totally adored all the reactions Bungee gives to everything Fei Fei does.

Its a good enough watch, felt entertaining in many parts, despite the mentioned flaws I didn't really felt bored at all. If you aren't looking for too much, then this movie shall work for you too. 

My Rating : 6.5/10
