"Nat" (voiced by Trevor Gagnon), along with his brainiac friend "IQ" (voiced by Philip Bolden) and the always hungry "Scooter" (David Gore) are kids with big dreams. They want to be the first flies in space. And what encourages their dreams is the first spacecraft to land on the moon, the Apollo 11, is waiting for its historic trip on the launch pad near where the three hang out.

The movie got off to a bad start before I had even sat down - the theater charged me an extra $2.50 for the use of 3-D glasses. So, taking five to the movie that day (and not even getting a true matinee deal) was not a good way to start the show...
Then the movie starts. Few funny lines, the use of 3-D wasn't really woven into the plot (a waste of technology) and nobody really needed a return to the idiocy of the late 60s, where old codgers belittle women, pick on Russians, and what not. And, at the end, you get a stupid Buzz Aldrin cameo that was not necessary.
Proof that Hollywood thinks it can create anything animated and send it out there because parents will take children there hoping to get 90 minutes of stress-free entertainment for the kids... Save your money and go see …
