	Author	Review
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"If 'Over the Moon' launches into orbit on the strength of its specificity, much of the film is frustratingly generic"	NEU
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"A CG-animated musical fantasy that still manages to infuse sufficient charm and genuine warmth into the inescapable familiarity."	POS
Canada	Molly Freeman Screen Rant	"An explosion of wonder, color and magic, 'Over the Moon' tells a beautifully sentimental story of family and love, with super catchy songs mixed in (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"[It] borrows too much from other sources (...) There are still pleasures to be found along the way (...) but ultimately, 'Over the Moon' wanes more than it waxes."	NEU
United States	Drew Taylor Collider	"When it does let loose, it’s one of the most exhilarating animated features in recent memory (...) The movie’s big, warm heart and the striking nature of the design, make it a must-watch"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"Dazzlingly designed but otherwise conventional (...) The animators handle the subtler emotions unusually well"	NEU
United States	Natalie Zutter Den of Geek	"Glen Keane’s animated musical shoots for the moon and succeeds in a pitch-perfect examination of loss (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Cath Clarke The Guardian	"More Disney than Disney (...) It’s all very spectacular – but nothing much happens in the second half, and back on Earth (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"'Over the Moon's main thread is moving (...) but obvious and limiting (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Johnny Oleksinski New York Post	"Impressively realistic (...) Longtime Disney animator Glen Keane’s film goes for the heart rather than the mind (...) The movie can, at times, be too nice. Just don’t come looking for the dark side of the moon (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
