Maybe it’s a
post-Pixar phenomenon that animated films need to tackle complex themes or
ideas, translating it into terms kids can understand. This is the case with “Over the Moon,” a film that
is part “Trolls World Tour,”
part lesson on grappling with the loss of a parent. It’s a mixture where both
sides seem at odds with each other. The fun is ruined by the death of a loved
one, while the antics prevent the story from finding emotional lift-off.
