But all is not well. The ‘attack from outer space’ sets off alarm bells ringing in the President of Earth’s headquarters and the Moon Man’s absence from his post means that all the worlds’ children are unable to sleep. Before the President can capture him, the children must join forces with Moon Man to return him to his rightful place in the sky.A feature film co-production between Schesh Filmkreation, Le Pacte and Cartoon SaloonRead an INTERVIEW WITH TOMI himself about Moonmanand...have a look at the trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfeARrxyeR8To buy the DVD and receive a 20% discount off the original book by Tomi Ungerer just visit the CARTOON SALOON SHOP
