Moonbound

Based on one of Germany’s most popular children’s books Moonbound tells the story about a brother and a sister who go on an adventure to the moon. Pete is a smart kid, a practical thinker, grounded in science, who wants to become an astronaut just like his dad. Anne is creative thinker who makes up fantastic stories with her amazing imagination. It seems fitting that their story combines a little fantasy with science fiction. They are both going through a tough time having just recently moved. Pete is fending off bullies at school. Anne tells so many farfetched stories she can’t get her brother to believe her anymore. Pete gets fed up with all Anne’s stories and tells her that he wishes he could send her to the moon. He never imagines that she might actually end up there, having been kidnapped by the Moonman! In order to save his sister from the Moonman, Peter must join forces with the Sandman and the beetle Mr Zoomzeman. The adventure will take Pete on a race around the Milky Way, with stops at the Parmesan Desert and the Gouda Ravine. He must meet with the Night Fairy and encounter five Spirits of Nature: Storm Giant, Lightning Witch, Henry Hail, Rainy Robin and Mother Frost along the way. Anne will demonstrate her bravery and quick thinking, as a true star in her own right. This fun, highly imaginative, family film is sure to delight. It also lauds the skills of problem solving and creative thinking and the willingness to treat others with kindness and respect.
