Moon Man (German: Der Mondmann) is a 2012 German-French-Irish[5] animated fantasy film directed by Stephan Schesch based on the 1966 novel of the same name by Tomi Ungerer.

However, the children of Earth cannot sleep without seeing the Moon Man in the sky, leading to him getting help from a scientist to return home.

[2] This scientist built a rocket for the president to use against the Moon Man, but after he learns of his intentions to return home, he repurposes it.

[citation needed] The film had its theatrical release in Germany on 14 March 2013.

The critics consensus reads: "Its deliberate pacing is certainly an acquired taste, but Moon Man's enchanting animation style and subversive flourishes make it a refreshingly off-beat yarn.
