![]() ![]() There isn’t a single funny joke, iota of passion, or thrilling moment in the movie. ![]() I’m somewhat flabbergasted that "Space Chimps" even came out in theaters. For successful animation, both need to be present. The only indicator that a character is emoting is by the tone of their voice, rather than by their body language. The characters of the film are expressionless, and are at most times nothing more than heads with a mouth moving on them. I honestly think the look and feel of this film is on par with some sort of cold medication advert from the late 90’s. This is also hurt by the fact that the character animations in "Space Chimps" are abysmal. The voice actors of the film speak lazily in their own voices, as if they know how stupid the movie they are in is, offering no real effort in creating the characters they are portraying. Some may think I’m grasping for too much out of this kid-themed-movie, but honestly, I find that argument moot, especially when over the past 13 years, we’ve been shown that children’s entertainment doesn’t need to be stupid.ĭisregarding any sort of plot elements of the movie, it really doesn’t have anything else going for it. Plot details are never explained, such as why Ham III has to go to space, or what the hell the deal is with the planet where the satellite crash lands. Every character introduction, every dialog sequence, and every moment of the film is pointless and arbitrary. My deepest apologies if my plot synopsis seems to be a bit hard to grasp, but I like to think that is because I am attempting to explain a near-incomprehensible mess of a film. These two professional chimps have to put up with Ham III’s wacky antics as they chase the rogue satellite into an alien world where this evil dude ( Jeff Daniels) has enslaved his people to build a casino or something. He is joined by Luna ( Cheryl Hines) and Titan ( Patrick Warburton). Ham III is tapped out of his gig at some sort of circus because of his celebrity status. After a NASA probe gets sucked into a wormhole, the organization sends a team of chimps in after it. "Space Chimps" tells the story of Ham III ( Andy Samberg), the grandson to the once famous chimp astronaut Ham I. Even though these jokes all tend to fall completely flat, this animated shipwreck falls victim to many pitfalls that other Pixar imitators tend to fall into: There is virtually no character development or story to speak of what so ever. "Space Chimps" attempts to offer its audience a dose of subversive humor mixed with slap stick, a formula executed with finesse under Pixar. Enter "Space Chimps," a short feature-length animated film directed by Kirk De Micco. ![]() I honestly feel that through the past 13 years, ever since the release of "Toy Story" (1995), Pixar is the only studio to release a CG family film right, and everyone else is trying to hop on the band wagon. Get ready to put your thinking caps on because this idea will get you thinking.I have an inherit suspicion towards any non-Pixar computer animated family film. His uncle was caught and hung for his actions, but some stories say that his uncle was wrongfully accused of his actions. In this episode, we get the story of Lukas' uncle, who was a sheriff of Bannack, Montana, and rumored to also be the leader of a local vigilante outlaw gang called 'The Innocence'. Additionally, we get another classic Western epic of Lukas' family. In a change of pace, we have no scripts for you in this week's episode of "Writer's Block", but rather some informal, blue collar, working class ideas for "The Hoarder" had we written scripts. But we are back this week and greatly refreshed. Wow it has been a while! We were so busy last week and then took some huge naps, that we missed last week's episode.
