One day, during a wedding ceremony, a boss arrives and seizes the tree. Zoomzeman heads to a creek at a [full moon](/source/Full_moon), where he is taken to a nightfairy, and shares about what's happening. The nightfairy arrives on Earth, and banishes the boss' vehicle and the tree to the moon, leaving Zoomzeman homeless. The nightfairy informs him that the tree can be restored to its normal place if a animal-loving human accompanies him. Years later, Peter is a space loving boy, who lives with his sister Annabelle. One day, Zoomzeman arrives at their home, where he enlists both kids to head to the moon. During the journey, both kids are separated; Peter meets a [sandman](/source/Sandman). Annabelle, meanwhile, is abducted by the boss, who is now named the Moonman. Peter, Zoomzeman, and the Sandman, determined to rescue Annabelle, visit the nightfairy at her palace, where Peter shares about Annabelle's kidnapping. The nightfairy agrees to allow Peter to head to the moon. Meanwhile, Annabelle discovers the Moonman's plans to fire a cannon at the nightfairy's palace at sunrise to give him his revenge on her. Annabelle, along with Ms. Zoomzeman, are caught by the Moonman, and he imprisons them both. Peter, Mr. Zoomzeman, and the Sandman arrive at the moon. They head to Annabelle and Ms. Zoomzeman's confinement, and they free them both. Ms. Zoomzeman reconciles with her husband, while Annabelle shares to Peter about the Moonman's plan. As the Moonman prepares the cannon, Peter, Annabelle, the Zoomzemans, and the Sandman arrive, but Peter is unable to stop the cannon in time. The nightfairy's palace survives the cannon's hit. The nightfairy arrives at the moon, banishes the Moonman to [Mars](/source/Mars), and brings the birch tree back to Earth. Peter and Annabelle returns back home, while the Zoomzemans feel happy about their birch tree being back. ## Cast Character Original German English dub Peter Dirk Petrick Aleks Le Annabelle Roxana Samadi Lilian Gartner Mr. Zoomzeman Peter Simonischek Howard Nightingall Sandman Raphael von Bargen (credited as Raphael van Bargen in US dub) Moonman Tom Vogt Drew Sarich Nightfairy Gerti Drassl Cindy Robinson Lightning Witch Melissa Mabie (credited as Mellisa Mabei) ## Production The film is a German-Austrian co-production and is produced by Brave New Work in [Cologne](/source/Cologne), Coop99 Filmproduktion in [Vienna](/source/Vienna) and Little Dream Entertainment in [Hamburg](/source/Hamburg).
