Netflix’s journey into children’s animation continues with the wonderfully animated Over the Moon. Directing the potential Oscar-nominee is Glen Keane, a veteran of animation, and was a key animator in some of Disney’s greatest works of the 80s and 90s.

Enamored by the story of the legendary moon goddess that’s trapped on the moon, teenager Fei Fei builds her own rocketship in an attempt to meet her. With her trusty pet Rabbit and the stowaway Chin, they find a beautiful mythical world, and the search for the goddess begins.

The historical-drama takes place in the year 9 A.D, during the Roman Imperial campaign of Germania. Three Roman legions and its auxiliaries are led by Publius Quinctilius Varus, while Arminius, a Germanic Chieftain educated in roman military tactics, unites the Germanic tribes against their Southern invaders. Moving against the Roman legions before they strike, Araminius leads the Germanic tribes in a devasting ambush that would alter the course of history forever.
