A charming animation adapted from renowned illustrator Tomi Ungerer’s children’s book, Moon Man follows the man in the moon as he comes down to earth only to be hunted by an unscrupulous President convinced that the planet is being invaded. Meeting young children who watched him in the sky, as well as a famous inventor who claims to be able to build rocket-ships, the Moon Man decides he must go home so children can marvel at him again. When Inventor and Moon Man are captured by the President and forced to further his goals, the pair work together to get Moon Man back into space. A simple tale, Moon Man proceeds at a languorous pace, allowing time for full appreciation of the meticulously crafted animation provided by the Academy Award nominated Cartoon Saloon.
