Over The Moon This Netflix animated musical is what Disney's 2020 Mulan should have been: An upbeat celebration of a girl overcoming the odds, not the dour lecture about values that audiences got instead.

Glen Keane, director and former Walt Disney Animation Studios alumnus - working with a screenplay by Alice Wu, Audrey Wells, Jennifer Yee McDevitt - makes the songs and visuals do the heavy lifting, which is the proper Disney thing to do. This crime thriller starts promisingly enough. Rayburn is a Unabomber-style loner who has isolated himself on his private nature reserve, nursing a secret pain and a dislike of authority.

This movie forgets that the character stuff is the side dish, not the main course, and serves an insultingly under-prepared crime procedural.At several points in this ship-based corpse fest, a reasonable person watching it might ask:"When is this going to get funny?"
