Space chimps dvd trailer12/28/2023 The simian slacker becomes a reluctant hero and learns the true meaning of courage as he and his crewmates, the plucky Lieutenant Luna and their by-the-book commander, Titan, risk everything in an effort to save the peaceful inhabitants of a distant planet from an evil dictator. But Ham is a free-spirited circus performer more interested in zero gravity high jinks than living up to his illustrious heritage. Here’s the synopsis: When a $5 billion Space Agency probe disappears into an intergalactic wormhole, the agency recruits Ham III, grandson of the first chimpanzee in space, to help retrieve the wayward craft. If you wish to pick up this DVD, I’m sure the younger ones in your household won’t be that picky about the choice of audio and visual so no worries.Opening this Friday is "Space Chimps" and it'sthe new CGI animated movie from Vanguard Animation and 20th Century Fox. The audio and visual is passable definitely not reference quality. This of course explains why "Space Chimps 2" is currently in production. Not to be offensive, at least it beats reading a book for most hyperactive little kiddos. Perhaps the underlying message of 'a reluctant hero that saves the day' might help those potential parents who dozed off shortly after the opening credits as this is seriously not something for the adult demographics.ĭirector and co-writer Kirk De Micco accomplished something that will occupy the imagination of the younger ones. A chase in a jungle followed by another chase in a cave and also an encounter with a cute big-headed alien named Kilowatt, it’s a family friendly movie that never requires you to explain much to the younger ones. At least if you see things from an eight year old’s perspective, "Space Chimps" contains enough excitement, adventure and humour (lots of 'chimp' jokes, pardon the pun) for the short 88 minutes. I’m not being hypocritical but then you can’t expect everything to be in the league of the two gigantic animation houses. Crash landed on a strange planet shortly after takeoff, the three chimps must stay together to battle a tyrant named Zartog (Jeff Daniels) and get back to earth safely in time.Īside from the fact that the animation and visual flair looks like a work-in-progress, looks outright flat and the characters for example the chimps which look more like the current state of Michael Jackson and the deformed look of the strange silicon alien creatures inhibiting the planet Malgor, the production might still be appealing to the kids. Joining him on this expedition is Luna, the love interest and Titan, the commander of the ship. The story begins with a circus chimp named Ham III (Andy Samberg) who is picked by NASA to join a space program to retrieve a space probe that has disappeared into a worm hole. On the whole, "Space Chimps" have a few redeeming factors to be consider a real stinker. To be fair to the makers of "Space Chimps", let’s not hastily jump to the conclusion that this is a 'bad' animation just purely based on the fact that it’s not a product from Disney/Pixar or DreamWorks. Together with "Space Chimps", these movies are done by the little-known Vanguard Animation studio. Never mind, I guess most readers today would not recall these animation movies unless it’s produced by the Disney/Pixar or DreamWorks’ labels. Heard of "Happily N’ Ever After" or "Valiant"?
