Brief synopsis of Space Chimps

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. But Ham is a free-spirited circus performer more interested in zero gravity high jinks than living up to his illustrious heritage. 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.

It can be tough living up to illustrious forbears. Ham III (voiced by Hot Rod star Andy Samberg) is the grandson of the first monkey in space. There’s no competing with that, so Ham prefers to read more »

Rated - 4 starsQuite a riot of rocket and chimps chaos.

PaulaWestwood from Ashton-Under-Lyne [Highly rated reviewer] , 11/08/2008

A relatively unhyped animation, Space Chimps is based around HAM III, a pale imitation of his grandfather HAM I who became a chimp champ when he was blasted into space as part of a NASA experiment. Two generations later HAM II is a circus cannonball act, with pretentions to being a superchimp himself, when the chance arises though all is not ape-arrently well with HAM II who isn't quite as bold as he would like to think. With a bit of love interest and a chance to rescue a new mission, as always all things don't quite go to plan. This is a bit of a family gem that might just get missed by most.. so get it on your list and have a bit of madcap monkey magic before the word is out. Definately worth a watch.
