October Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss24 of 27
Over the Moon | Premieres Friday, Oct. 23 on Netflix
Plot: In this animated musical, a girl builds a rocket ship and blasts off, hoping to meet a mythical moon goddess.
Our Take: My belief is that everyone should periodically hunker down and watch a wholesome kids' movie for a burst of joy and a reminder of the simple things in life, and Netflix's upcoming animated musical Over the Moon looks like the ideal candidate for my next fix. What's not to love about a young girl embarking on a quest to the moon to meet a fantastical goddess (voiced by Phillipa Soo of Hamilton), with an adorable bunny sidekick in tow? Ken Jeong, John Cho, Margaret Cho and Sandra Oh also lend their voices to the sweet story, which celebrates Chinese mythology. — Hannah
