Over the Moon

Scientists can tell us many things about space.

They can tell us how far away the stars are.

They can tell us that space starts 100 kilometers above the Earth.

But they can't tell us about the space dog!

He likes to chase comets and roll in the stardust!

As far as the space dog's concerned, the moon is just a big, tempting ball.

And almost every night, he takes a bite.

And that's the real reason the moon has phases.

So, when the moon is big and round,

that's when the space dog doesn't take a bite?

That's when the Moon Goddess Chang'e makes him spit it out.

-Blech! -

All right, does anyone want to hear the scientific explanation?

Sorry, Ba Ba, I like the Mommy explanation best!

-Outnumbered! -

-Tell me about Chang'e. -Again?

Again! Again! I love to hear about the Moon Goddess.

Tell me, Ma Ma.

True love?

And that's where she lives now.

On the moon, with only Jade Rabbit to keep her company.

Why?

Because Houyi died here on Earth.

And when she cries, her tears turn into stardust.

Ba Ba, do you think Chang'e is real?

If your mother says she's real, then she is absolutely real.

Thank you.

Look up. Can you see Jade Rabbit? He's making a potion.

I can see him.

What do you think he's making?

Moonmush!

Bunny rocket comin' through!

Look at my rocket ship!

Slow down, little astronaut. You have space brakes, you can use them.

-Cool your jets. -Watch out, Ma Ma, Ba Ba!

How about you help us make Mooncakes today?

I can?

I think it's about time you learn how we make our special family Mooncakes.

Yay!

- Whoa! -Sorry. Excuse me.

-Ooh... - Oh.

Hey.

Flaky, sweet and delicious. Homemade Mooncakes!

Ten, please.

Did you know if you put 40 billion Mooncakes side by side,

you could reach the moon?

That's a lot of Mooncakes.

'Course if the moon is at its furthest point from the Earth,

you'd need 426,000,232 more!

You better get baking.

-Here you go. -Happy Moon festival.

Thank you.

-Qie zi! - Qie zi!

Now, you're sure you don't want me to go with you?

Yeah, I got this, Ba Ba.

-Mooncakes? -Check.

-We got bungee cords? -Check.

We have Bungee?

- Check. -

All right.

Hey, we got company tonight, so don't be late. Okay?

I'll be back in time.

Um... Ba Ba...

Careful now!

-Sorry. - Whoa!

[upbeat song in Mandarin playing on speakers]

- See you next week, Fei Fei! - Okay, bye!

Your scrumptious Mooncakes, fresh for tonight!

We'll take four.

Four?

-Why not 16? -Whoa.

Well, you fellas must get pretty hungry building the fastest train in the world!

You know about the Maglev?

I heard about it in school. It doesn't even bother with wheels.

Floats on electromagnetic fields like a cushion of air.

Whoosh!

Magnetic levitation is the coolest!

Huh. Did you know that's how it works?

Mm-hmm.

Mm-mm.

Whoa.

Ba Ba, I sold all of the Mooncakes to--

Red dates? We never use dates. That's not one of Ma Ma's recipes.

Well, I thought we'd try something new in honor of our guest.

Fei Fei, this is Mrs. Zhong.

Hi, Fei Fei.

Hello.

-It's nice to meet-- -Oh.

Oh, no.

Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

- I'm so sorry. -It's okay. I got it. I got it.

Uh... Tour!

Fei Fei, how about we give Mrs. Zhong a tour of the shop?

That sounds nice.

Uh... I'm sorry, I have some homework to do.

Oh.

Well, we could work on it together later.

Uh, it's okay.

All right.

Can't believe I dropped that.

I can't believe you did, either.

- Thanks a lot! - I'm kidding!

That's where we make the Mooncakes, and this is where we sell them.

- -

-Leapfrog! -What?

-Come on. Leap over me. -No!

What? Don't you know leapfrog?

Here, watch Croak.

You can't let a frog loose in here!

Ah!

Who exactly are you?

You just met my mom. I'm Chin.

I got fourth place, Yanshi City Ping-Pong Club tournament.

-Should've been third. -

Oh, oh, oh, and by the way, I have a super power.

Can you guess what it is?

Super annoying?

I have two super powers!

Look over there. What do you see?

A wall?

To you, it's a wall. To me, it's just something to run through.

You can run through walls?

Wanna see?

Why, yes, I'd love to.

No barriers!

Ahhh!

Did you see that?

Almost a whole part of me went right through that wall!

My molecules opened up. I could feel them separate.

It's like the universe was calling me by name.

Ba Ba, he ran into a wall!

Eight-year-old boys have a lotta energy.

Give him a pass this time.

"This time"?

His mother's very... nice. Yeah? I mean, you should talk to her.

-Why? -Don't you ever get a little...

well, lonely?

No, never! Why? Do you?

I have you. We have each other.

Um...

Of course, sweetheart, we're always gonna have each other.

Nothing can ever change that.

But, Fei Fei...

there is something important I've been wanting to talk to you about.

You know how since--

Hello!
