Moon Man – review

The man in the moon hitches a ride down to Earth in this delightful, old-school slice of storytelling, writes Xan Brooks
  
  


Stephan Schesch's kids' cartoon, based on the 1967 picture book by Tomi Ungerer, is a lo-fi delight, blending old-school storytelling with a whiff of head-shop trippiness.

Ungerer provides the voice of the lonesome man on the moon, who hitches a ride down to Earth on the tail of a comet and promptly decides that he would rather go home. So what if the plot feels a tad rudimentary? Moon Man has been crafted with love and painted with care. It's the equivalent of the handmade Christmas present, left under the tree, just waiting to be found.
