Fly Me To The Moon is a new animated family film featuring very impressive 3D effects. The technology of 3D has improved so dramatically over the years, that the images from Fly Me To The Moon seem completely real enough that you may find yourself actually grabbing at objects.
This is definitely a movie that will enterain kids and keep them laughing. The adults accompanying their children may not be so enthralled, but it does make for a fun family outing.
Fly Me To The Moon centers around the plight of three adolescent flies who, in 1969, live in a dump near Cape Kennedy with their families, including a granddad (Lloyd) who had once stowed away aboard Amelia Earhart’s plane. The three teen flies are looking for a way to impress their families. And as the title of the film implies, the trio of young flies decide that the answer to their quest will be to join the space program and make history.
As the young flies attempt to make history, they must overcome challenes such as fly swatters and even worse, a Russian spy-fly. While parents may stifle some yawns, kids will more than likely be very excited as the 3Daction of Fly Me To The Moon escalates.
There is a great live action cameo of Apollo 11 in the movie which should be enjoyed by kids and parents alike.
Not so much enjoyed by adults but assuredly by the kids, are the burping, somewhat dubious jokes throughout the film, and not -so -cute talking maggots.
The movie features the voices of Philip Bolden, Trevor Gagnon, David Gore, Christopher Lloyd, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Begley Jr., Tim Curry, Kelly Ripa and Nicollette Sheridan. Directed by Ben Stassen. And according to Director Ben Stassen, nWave’s founder, the movie is the first animated feature to be created and released exclusively for 3-D.
