this dvd is superb. A preteen-aged fly named Nat ( played by Nat Gagnon), and his two best friends, I.Q. (played by Philip Daniel Bolden) and Scooter (played by David Gore), build a fly-sized rocket in a field across from Cape Canaveral, Florida, where the Apollo 11 sits on its launch pad.
From his earliest memory, Nat remembers his grandfather, Amos (played by Christopher Lloyd), telling him of his daring rescue of Amelia Earhart as she crossed the Atlantic Ocean on her historic flight.
Wanting to be an adventurer like his Grandpa, Nat knows what he has to do.
Defying the notion that Dreamers get swatted! he tells his friends his plan to get aboard the Apollo 11 and go to the moon.
His buddies, with some reluctance, are in.
The next morning, as their families realize they are missing, the three flies make it to Space Centre command.
In their homemade space suits, Nat, I.Q. and Scooter stow away inside the space helmets of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.
As they blast off, our three tiny adventurers are about to make some history of their own.
Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins all appear as themselves. This is a superb film, that is well worth watching !!!!!!!!
2d and 3d on the same disk but teh kids were bored after 20 mins. It does drag a bit and they lost interest.
