superb........................

williamsgwynfa from , 30th September, 2008

this dvd is superb. A preteen-aged fly named Nat ( played by Nat Gagnon), and his two best friends, I.Q. (played by Philip Daniel Bolden) and Scooter (played by David Gore), build a “fly-sized” rocket in a field across from Cape Canaveral, Florida, where the Apollo 11 sits on its launch pad. From his earliest memory, Nat remembers his grandfather, Amos (played by Christopher Lloyd), telling him of his daring rescue of Amelia Earhart as she crossed the Atlantic Ocean on her historic flight. Wanting to be an adventurer like his Grandpa, Nat knows what he has to do. Defying the notion that “Dreamers get swatted!” he tells his friends his plan to get aboard the Apollo 11 and go to the moon. His buddies, with some reluctance, are in. The next morning, as their families realize they are missing, the three flies make it to Space Centre command. In their homemade space suits, Nat, I.Q. and Scooter stow away inside the space helmets of astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. As they blast off, our three tiny adventurers are about to make some history of their own. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins all appear as themselves. This is a superb film, that is well worth watching !!!!!!!!

Good.. but waaayyyy to American

PaulaWestwood from , 21st October, 2008

Despite being essentially a kiddie flick, this has much too much a thick layer of good old US syrup and bluster, and an overbearing old hat attitude towards outsider technology and peoples, the decade old pastiche of Russian dictators etc, just made me gag. Ok children might not get this but they will have a good sticky dose of the good old Yew Ess Ay gettin to the moon before anyone else being the best etc etc. I totally love the USA and US technology (both flying to the moon and Amelia Erhardt flying over the Atlantic as shown over and over) was fantastic and did lead to new frontiers being breached, but sticking animated fly's and adding a few lame gags doesnt make this any less of a pretty average animated childrens film. Could have been treally good, but for me was definately overtaken by its all too silly message. Worth a miss, try your kids with more light entertainment such as Horton Hears a Hoo or B-Movie or if you want some sort of a message - Wall-E !, Fly me to the Moon isnt in their league.

FLY ME TO THE MOON review

A Customer from Yorkshire, England, 4th January, 2010

Fly Me To The Moon is quite an adventurous film. 3 flies want to go to the moon, but how will they? It is a film that probably the whole family can watch - generally children ages 5 and over. In my opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Fly Me To The Moon. It is a great film!

Only slightly annoying

William Brown from Edinburgh, 1st September, 2009

Most of the 3D you need the coloured glasses for just don't quite work on TV. This one does and the 3D is marvelous. Story is a bit stupid but the characters - over cute though they are - aren't as annoying as I thought they would be. Entertaining enough.
