About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gentle, nostalgia-soaked childhood memoir with a dash of space-age wonder, similar in spirit to Lady Bird; Not for you if you need fast pacing, big stakes, or minimal narration.
Pros: warm nostalgic storytelling; imaginative moon-daydream angle; distinctive animated look | Cons: heavy narration; meandering slice-of-life pace; moon plot feels brief
