This is an animated film that might make your brain hurt if you try too hard to understand the plot. Accept that you can't and you'll be much better off--otherwise your head might just explode. Here is a summary--you be the judge. A little girl's best friend is her cow. However, when she gets a cold she is forced to stay inside. During this time, the cow jumps over the moon (like the nursery rhyme)--but gets stuck on the moon along with a bee. Now for the weird stuff (as if it wasn't weird enough already). The bee tells the cow that if he eats and eats, he can reach the Earth again, so the cow voraciously eats everything--comets, stars, planets, etc. until he's freakin' huge--at which point he's so big he can look right into the little girl's window.
So why if the story is so weird would I give it a 7 and recommend it? Well, the animation is simply amazing. It's very original and cool and I am not 100% sure how they did it, but it's a great style--a lot like the Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's "Stinky Cheese Man" and "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" books. This sort of cut-out looking art is very popular with kids, but adults can also enjoy this slight film because it's just so expertly illustrated.
