Peterchens Mondfahrt

Here is another animated film I wish was on DVD or Blu-Ray. This movie was also the first movie I had added to my "Watchlist," when I got my Amazon Video account.

There isn't really much to tell about the story, except that it is about two children Peter and Anneli (Annabelle in the dub) who took a magical yet dangerous journey with a May Beetle Mr Zoomzeman (Mr. Buzzworthy in the dub) to the Moon to get Mr. Zoomzeman's missing leg back, because a long, long time ago a thief had stolen wood from the forest on a Sunday, and had cut off Mr. Zoomzeman's great-great grandfather's sixth leg. The Night Fairy banished the thief to the Moon as punishment, but he took the leg with him, causing later generations of the Zoomzeman family to have only five legs. So Mr. Zoomzeman must search for two good children who never harmed any creature, until he found Peter and Anneli.

Now I didn't know the movie was based on a children's book. But fortunately there was copy of the book translated in English. So I ordered it online and I read it. Now it is one of my favorite children's books. Anyway, all I have to say is that this movie is another animated favorite and I really wish it was on DVD.
