5/2/2023 0 Comments Space chimps dvd easter egg![]() ![]() But I did enjoy a few scenes, I loved the line Titon says to Ham "Are you David Bowie?". It's a cute movie thought for the little ones. Space Chimps isn't a bad movie, it's just nothing special, I'd recommend waiting for the rental. When they do land on the planet, they meet some interesting creatures and have to save the planet since one alien, Zartog, wants to take over. ![]() Ham, Luna, and Titon are sent out into space, but Ham isn't taking it seriously, constantly joking around, hitting on Luna, Titon constantly taking credit for everything. When there is possible life found on another planet, three scientists decide to experiment and instead of risking human life, the send out the chimps including Ham to space to find the alien life form. Ham is a chimp who is the grandson of a famous chimp astronaut who was the first chimp in space. Opening the same weekend as The Dark Knight and Mamma Mia, we needed a good hearted film for the family as well, and Space Chimps does deliver on that. I agree that it's nothing special, but it's a cute movie that had it's moments. I was thinking how this movie was probably awful, but how could it be? It's an animation film, so I still wanted to see it, I checked it out today and honestly, it's not a 4.4 rating movie, I think people are being a little too harsh on it. I was first off a little surprised that it didn't do so hot at the box office, not only that, but it has a pretty low rating here on IMDb. If you must get it, stick to a rental for your young child.When I saw the trailer for Space Chimps, I honestly thought it looked cute and fun, also they mentioned that it was made by the same folks who did Shrek, so I figured that it was going to be gold. You don’t have to get this and it isn’t good enough to warrant passing up something from Pixar or Disney that you don’t have in your collection yet. The problem with Space Chimps is that there are just too many alternatives out there. It’s a shockingly small amount of extras and the lack of a commentary, making-of, or anything of that nature makes this an even worse value than normal. The trailers are listed individually on the menu so it seems like more, but they are very similar. That’s really all there is if you ignore the still gallery and the various trailers. It’s not particularly good, although I did get a kick on the producer and director saying that Cheryl Hines was helped by her improv background and then ten seconds later Hines saying doing the voice work was completely different than doing improv. A nine minute “Fox Movie Channel Presents Casting Session” featurette focuses on the voice actors and serves as the only behind-the-scenes info about the project. There is almost nothing else on the disc worth mentioning. I would never watch this movie, or any movie, in full screen since it is a sin for which there is no forgiveness, but at least you have the option and I’m all for choices. The best thing I can say about it is that it is one of those discs where you can flip it over and watch it either in widescreen (which you should) or full screen (which you should not). In a nice bit of symmetry, the lousy movie Space Chimps is given a pretty lousy DVD release. Use the money you would spend on this to buy a second copy of Wall-E for your other room. It will probably entertain a small non-discerning child while you fix dinner, but it’s not going to do anything at all for their parents or older siblings. Space Chimps is like one of those direct-to-DVD Disney movies. This leads to the usual clash that you see in movies like this, only in this case, the clash is between chimps who are going to go through a black hole. A senator (Stanley Tucci) sees an opportunity to gain some PR from the program and recruits Ham to go along with on the mission with Titan (Patrick Warburton) and Luna (Cheryl Hines), who are the serious kind of chimps in space. ![]() Ham III works in a circus being shot out of a cannon and has no interest in furthering his family legacy.Īfter a space probe disappears through a black hole, NASA decides to send a team of chimps though the black hole to see if it is safe for humans. In this case, the slacker is Ham III (voiced by Andy Samberg), the grandson of Ham, the first chimp into space. Unfortunately, writers Kirk De Micco ( Racing Stripes) and Robert Moreland ( Happily N’Ever After), use the old stand-by of a slacker wise-ass in a serious situation growing up, helping out, and saving the day. The basic plot premise is not that chimps go into space. ![]()
