About This Movie

Space Chimps is kind of a quirky take on the space race, but with chimps instead of humans. The animation has a certain charm, although it feels a bit dated compared to newer stuff. The pacing can be uneven at times, but there are some solid laughs woven into the adventure. The voice performances are pretty decent; Andy Samberg and Cheryl Hines bring some fun energy. It's interesting to see how it plays with themes of bravery and exploration, all while being, well, a bit silly. It definitely doesn’t take itself too seriously, which I appreciate. Not a classic by any means, but it has its moments that might resonate if you're in the right mood.

Released in July 2008, directed by Kirk DeMicco.Features voice work from Andy Samberg and Cheryl Hines.Animation uses a mix of 3D CGI with some traditional techniques.Had a modest box office run, not a huge hit but found a niche.
