The year is 1969, and Americans all across the country are buzzing about the first manned mission to the moon. Even the insects aren't immune to the excitement, as evidenced by the enthusiasm of adolescent flies Nat (voice

It's clear that animators can now achieve levels of visual depth that were previously impossible.
Top CriticAs for the space stuff, well, George Lucas need not lose any sleep.
A tougher endurance test than anything NASA could cook up.
And while it may not teach sprogs anything about insects - these ones have human eyes and four limbs - director Ben Stassen has made a fair fist of portraying the Apollo mission with some accuracy.
Fly Me to the Moon bills itself as the first animated feature created expressly for 3-D. Too bad it wasn't created expressly for, you know, pleasure or art.
You can skip it in all three dimensions.
It is a family story meant for younger viewers, and passes by without too much effort.
Without much else beyond its 3-D design going for it, this adventure grows old very fast.

Unfortunately, the flies aren't so compelling.
Fine family entertainment with a particularly strong message for the small fry.
No amount of fiddling with funny glasses in the theatre will keep you from noticing a weak storyline.
One of the strangest misfires in recent animation history.
G-rated, 3D animated adventure of three plucky young flies who hitch a ride on Apollo 11 plods rather than soars. And maggots with faces aren't cute.
Despite some astonishing visual sequences, a flimsy script and frankly awful character design ground this film before it can blast off.
Without the special effects, this would be a routine and occasionally dull adventure, but the 3D animation is simply astonishing and the film is worth seeing for that alone.
