Moon Rabbit: Fei Fei has a pet rabbit, Bungee, and in the first trailer, we see it looking up at the moon. Chang'e also has Jade, who works as her DJ and alchemist. In the end, the former decides to remain with the latter. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Over the Moon / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Had Chang'e been even slightly more patient with Fei Fei, Fei Fei could have explained to her that the gift would be on the crashed rocket and easily narrowed the search, possibly even using her ability to sense the gift to find it once in closer proximity. Instead, she's so incensed that the children don't know what she's talking about that she sends all of Lunaria looking for it and Fei Fei, the only person who knows where the crash site is other than Chin, is nearly left behind entirely. | |

Tragic Intangibility: Chang'e has seemingly managed to resurrect her deceased lover Houyi and they're happily reunited, but when he touches her face his hand becomes transluscent, with his entire body following suit. He explains that he can't come back to her and that she must move on. Chang'e refuses to accept this and attempts to embrace Houyi, begging him not to leave her again, only for her to fall through him and collapse to the ground. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Fei Fei's choppy hairstyle was borne from when she tried to cut her own hair out of grief. While movies often depict hair cut with household scissors as cleanly cut, we see here that's not actually the case. | |

Chess with Death: Chin challenges Chang'e to a game of Ping Pong for Fei Fei's photo. After losing a few rounds, he gets the hang of the weird gravity and goes toe to toe with the goddess. Even though he wins, she refuses to hand over the only thing that's keeping Fei Fei searching for the gift and locks Chin in the interrogation room. | |

AlternateCharacterInterpretation | |
| Over the Moon / int_54f999c | comment |
Alternate Character Interpretation: In-universe, Fei Fei's aunts debate that Chang'e was actually selfish and hoarded two doses of immortality to herself with a lie that she was "hiding them in her mouth" while Houyi was preoccupied. Fei Fei objects to this line of discussion, as it's contrary to the romantically ideal interpretation her late mother raised her on. It's a bit of a Genius Bonus, as there are a lot of variations of the story, with varying degrees of sympathy for Chang'e and Houyi. Two of the most common are either that Chang'e drank the immortality potion out of selfishness, or out of selflessness, to prevent a cruel and evil man from getting his hands on it. | |

Lunarians: The movie is about a city, that's even called Lunaria, on the moon and so naturally has some as the supporting cast there. They're all vibrantly glowing, colorful beings modeled after various animals or objects like chickens and moon cake. Some are so non-distinct as to just be blobs with limbs. | |

Disneyesque: As the movie was made by a Disney alum, this was pretty much unavoidable. The movie has the dead parent trope that Disney movies are famous for. It also has tons of musical numbers, lavish animation and colors, and themes of family. The movie even has Glen Keane's Creator Thumbprint of having a beautiful woman with long, flowing hair: Chang'e. | |

Foreshadowing: The story Fei Fei's mother tells her of Chang'e and Houyi shows Chang'e's amulet breaking. Even in her popstar garb, the still-broken necklace is prominently displayed by the goddess. The Gift is the other half of the necklace, kept by Houyi's descendants. Fei Fei's aunt suggests that perhaps Chang'e's reason for drinking the potion was selfish, a theory which Fei Fei does not agree with. This is meant to set up how Fei Fei is in for a rude awakening when she meets the diva that is the present day Chang'e. | |

Genius Bonus | |
| Over the Moon / int_b3d1b7e3 | comment |
It's a bit of a Genius Bonus, as there are a lot of variations of the story, with varying degrees of sympathy for Chang'e and Houyi. Two of the most common are either that Chang'e drank the immortality potion out of selfishness, or out of selflessness, to prevent a cruel and evil man from getting his hands on it. | |

Trapped in Another World: Fei Fei, her soon to be stepbrother Chin, and their pets end up in a fantastical city on the dark side of the Moon, and they're not allowed to leave unless they can produce "the gift." The only evidence they have of its existence ends up burning up upon reentry. The journey helps them grow closer as a family and helps Fei Fei move on from the death of her mother. | |

| Over the Moon / int_b8ad38 | comment |
Blended Family Drama: The catalyst of the film's plot. Four years after her mother's death, Fei-Fei doesn't want to accept that her father is moving on with Mrs. Zhong, and hates her soon-to-be-stepbrother Chin, so she tries to build a rocket to the moon to meet Chang'e and show her father proof of eternal love. | |

| Over the Moon / int_ba5bbda5 | comment |
Mirror Character: Fei Fei and Chang'e. One is but an ordinary Earth girl, the other is a moon goddess, but they are alike in many ways. They are both struggling with the loss of a loved one, and because of their grief, they exile their still-living loved ones and refuse to accept anything new. They both learn how to deal with their grief and move on in life. | |

Both Sides Have a Point | |
| Over the Moon / int_c02f148d | comment |
Both Sides Have a Point: Towards the beginning, Fei Fei has a debate with one of her aunts about Chang'e. Although her opinion that Chang'e enjoys living on the moon away from Houyi stems from her own terrible marriage, Fei Fei's aunt isn't wrong, considering that Chang'e's lunarian fans make her life up on the moon pretty bearable, to say the least. But Fei Fei's also right on the money about Chang'e still missing Houyi, even after all this time. | |

Mystical Jade | |
| Over the Moon / int_c28692cf | comment |
Mystical Jade: Chang'e's desired "gift" turns out to be the other half of the jade necklace she shared with her long-dead true love Houyi. Once Fei Fei gives it to her, the jade necklace combined with the potion (created by the Moon Rabbit named Jade, for bonus points) is able to bring Houyi back to her for a few minutes. In this scene Chang'e is also decked head to toe in jade jewelry and a jade gown. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Over the Moon / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Lunaria's design was inspired by the cover to The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. Several times during Fei Fei's planning montage, her sketch of a rocket is shown taking off and crashing. The final time, after she has her "Eureka!" Moment, the rocket's trajectory ends at a poster of the moon, and a disgruntled face appears on the moon with the rocket sticking out of its eye, just like in the iconic image from A Trip to the Moon. | |

Five Stages of Grief | |
| Over the Moon / int_c7e7529c | comment |
Five Stages of Grief: Fei Fei goes through this throughout the movie, after meeting Mrs Zhong, Ba Ba asks her if she was lonely during the 4 years without her mom, she immediately denies it, also when Chin is about to say "married" Fei Fei shot him down telling him not to say that word (denial); she hates and even lashed out at Chin when she was going to find the gift, claiming he will never be her brother (anger). When hearing the news that her father is getting remarried, Fei Fei hopes that by finding proof of Chang'e, Ba Ba won't marry Zhong (Barganing). At the climax of the movie, Fei Fei enters the Chamber of Exquisite and sees a vision of mother causing her to enter a stage of anguish (Depression). Finally, when the main characters are going home, the picture Fei Fei got as proof of the moon goddess burns up but she is ok with this because she had moved on from the tragedy of her late mom (Acceptance) | |

Epiphanic Prison | |
| Over the Moon / int_db8ace03 | comment |
Epiphanic Prison: Chang'e has one called the "Chamber of Exquisite Sadness" that she retreats into when her grief over Houyi peaks. It's a pocket dimension full of distant stars that others can usually only enter through having their own feelings of grief. Outsiders run the risk of being trapped forever as they see visions of their saddest moments. It's broken open not necessarily by force but by Chin's determination to retrieve his sister. Fei Fei and Chang'e both leave when they resolve to move on and love again. | |

No Antagonist: The movie does not have an antagonist whatsoever. The closest thing are the Biker Chicks who betray Fei Fei by stealing her doll because they believe it to be the gift Chang'e wanted, and Chang'e, who is not necessarily evil — she's just hurting. | |

Dub Name Change: The name of Chin's frog, Croak, becomes the equivalent word in various dubs. In the Chinese version, Ching is referred to as "Little Ching" because it's unusual to refer to someone by only one syllable in Chinese. | |

Ambiguously Related: Mrs. Zhong's relation to Houyi. While she jokes at the beginning that her family has blood relations to the man, she shares a lot of his philosophy, his color scheme, and the mooncake from her home town she gives to Fei Fei has The Gift hidden inside. It's entirely possible that Houyi really did move on and have descendants in Mrs. Zhong's area, but the answer is merely implied. | |
