Shoot the Moon

About This Movie

So, 'Shoot the Moon' is this quirky little animation that dives into a reimagined early 1960s. The whole premise hinges on a Presidential misstep that sends the Space Race spiraling in unexpected directions. The tone oscillates between light-hearted comedy and this almost surreal adventure vibe, making it a bit unique. I mean, the animation style is pretty interesting—there’s a mix of hand-drawn and some neat practical effects that give it a charming, almost nostalgic feel. Pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it somehow works with the overall whimsy. The voice performances bring a lot of energy, too, helping to sell those offbeat moments. It’s not your typical animated fare, that’s for sure.
