Tomi Ungerer

Three robbers pilfer from the countryside until they are charmed by a young orphan girl.

One night, a shooting star appears, whizzing through outer space towards the moon. Moon Man seizes his chance, grabs the speeding comet by the tail and hitches a ride to earth. This 'attack from outer space' sets the alarm bells ringing in the Presidential Headquarters. While escaping the President and his soldiers, Moon Man sets off on a long journey and marvels at the many wonders the earth has to offer – and he realizes how much children love and need him.

Far Out Isn't Far Enough: The Tomi Ungerer Story depicts one man's wild, lifelong adventure of testing societal boundaries through his use of subversive art. This 98-minute film combines traditional documentary storytelling with original animation from over 70 years worth of art from the renegade children's book author and illustrator. Using a historical palette of 20th century events to paint an artist's epic yet controversial life story, this HD documentary film offers a feature-length retrospective of Ungerer's life and art, pondering the complexities and contradictions of a man who, armed with an acerbic wit, an accusing finger and a razor sharp pencil, gave visual representation to the revolutionary voices during one of the most tantalizing and dramatic periods in American history. Far Out Isn't Far Enough explores the circumstances of his meteoric rise and fall on American soil...

An exotic tapestry of emotions, sensations and ideas…one step beyond experience.

Tomi Ungerer moves with his wife Yvonne from New York to Nova Scotia, to a small peninsula with a wooden fisherman's house and a few stables. This first of four documentaries that Adlon makes about the French artist and writer is a breakthrough - both for Ungerer, who becomes better known in Germany as a result, and for the filmmaker himself, who signs his first major work with it.
