The animal crew is ready and the cameras are rolling on the set of a nature documentary about "the mighty moose." They'd be getting great footage if only the star of movie would take off his space suit and act like a regular moose instead of an aspiring astronaut. (His lacrosse-playing grandma isn't helping either.) As the situation gets sillier -- and we're talking about giant-slingshot-into-space levels of silliness -- the duck director tries desperately to reign in the mayhem. Punchy, attention-grabbing artwork adds to the "high-octane entertainment" (Publishers Weekly) in this witty behind-the-scenes story about being yourself and coping with the unexpected.
