Some reviewers have criticized the film for being too Disney-esque. I'm not sure why that's a bad thing--but I'll grant you that the movie feels comfortably familiar. Go to Full Review Mark Kennedy Associated Press Oct 30, 2020
3/4
The acclaimed animator behind such powerful figures as Ariel, Aladdin, Tarzan and Rapunzel has a new heroine and she's going further than any of his creations - the moon. Go to Full Review Tasha Robinson Polygon Oct 26, 2020
Over the Moon's emotional journey is solid and well-expressed. Again, it draws on calculated iconography... But Fei Fei's emotional journey is a universal story about feeling pain and learning to move on. Go to Full Review Nuha Hassan Nuha Hassan (Medium) Jul 20, 2023
It is a universal story of loss and grief that everyone is familiar with, the importance of finding new love, and accepting loss. It is undoubtedly beautiful and emotionally driven. Go to Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear Reviews Sep 1, 2022

Over the Moon spectacularly shines a light on Chinese culture with its arresting animation, touching themes, and stellar soundtrack. Go to Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM Feb 26, 2022

Cinema S @cinema_sensei Aug 19, 2026 This is a colorful, enjoyable animated film with beautiful visuals, catchy songs, and a sweet message about grief and family. But for me, it feels mainly aimed at kids, with a familiar story and some overly flashy moments. The emotional parts work, but the film never becomes anything truly special. See more Roy C @RoyCal May 2, 2026 A really good movie. And it's very funny. I especially liked the faces the rabbit makes. See more Joshua M @Flameon Mar 7, 2026 The animation and songs were great. The characters were charming. I really enjoyed it even though I am a 65 year old man. See more Parents C. @veronicaglaude Feb 5, 2026 Honestly this movie was disappointing. The beginning of the movie started strong and had potential then the middle of the movie fell flat and the story felt more like filler rather than intentional. I understand this is classified as a musical but to have a song every other breath is redundant and annoying. Animation CG was amazing but is irrelevant if the story isn’t felt. Kid friendly but pointless to show them unless you want to just kill time.

It tries to get through entire sequences with absolutely no story other than swirling colours and 'oooh magic' to the point that obstacles are entirely arbritrary and the story pointless.
