Moongirl
Directed by Henry Selick
Produced by LAIKA
A whimsical, visually enchanting animated adventure that blends Southern Gothic imagery with dreamlike fantasy, celebrating wonder and companionship.
Leon is night fishing on the bayou, catching fireflies in a jar under a big round orange moon - it's that kind of a film - when the light dims and he tells his pet chipmunk, "Somethin's up, Earl." Sure is - a massive catfish made out of the stars transports him, pet and inflatable, on a theme park ride to the moon where he teams up with a genuine Moongirl and giant protective cat. Mission? To reignite the moon (his jar of delights is important here) and help defend her from a pair of rascally Gargaloons.
