This month, Netflix is dropping an exciting new animated film directed by two Disney veterans and boasting the kind of sleek animation you'd expect from a cinema release.
Over The Moon is a family sci-fi adventure, which sees a young girl build a rocket ship so that she can fly to the moon and prove the existence of a goddess who means a lot to her.
It looks to be an action-packed and emotional journey of discovery, with a star-studded voice cast including Killing Eve's Sandra Oh and Community's Ken Jeong.
