In a magical land, on top of a hill, tied to a Moon Tree, a swing stood still…
THE MOOD SWING is a whimsical animated tale about a magical swing that mirrors the emotions of the children riding it — whether taking them to their highest heights on a journey through the cosmos; or to their lowest lows in the perils of treacherous quick sand — the secret of the moon tree is to the simply enjoy the ride.
