Corrected entry: When Zenon and Dasha are coming back from having the scary encounter with Selena, Zenon drops her zap pad. It falls about the speed it would on Earth, however since the moon's gravitational pull is less, it would have fallen drastically more slowly. Notice how long it took Zenon and Dasha to fall and I'm guessing that they weigh about 105 pounds and 80 pounds (respectively). An object that had a lighter weight would have fallen more slowly. Drop a five pound weight and then drop a feather, which one takes longer to hit? Even if the Moon is in a vacuum. The zap pad would have taken longer to hit the moon's surface because the weight had been reduced coming from the Earth to the Moon and it wouldn't fall at the same speed on the Moon as it would have on Earth.

Factual error: Selena, the Goddess of the Moon, sets the next "earthset" as Zenon's deadline. One shot shows the Earth slowly sinking towards the lunar horizon while Zenon and Dasha watch. However, the moon takes exactly as long to rotate on its own axis as it does to orbit the Earth. As a result, the Earth does not rise and set as seen from any one location on the moon. It only rises and sets as you move across the surface of the moon.
Question: How come Numbar uses a microphone with a Z on it, since on all of his posters he has a froofy looking person (In no way resembling Selena) and Selena is the supposed goddess of the moon, and the festival is on the moon, wouldn't he have an S?
Answer: There was a "find the hidden Zs" contest on the website for the movie. The Z on the microphone is part of the contest.

Correction: While you are right in that it would fall slower on the moon as evidenced by the astronaut landing. Galileo proved that by dropping different weights off the Leaning Tower of Pisa that different weights do fall at the same speed making gravity a constant which debunked the beliefs of Aristotle. Zenon, Dasha and the zap pad should all fall at the same speed.
