He goes out cold and put in the rocket as a punishment. Houston comforts Comet.īefore the mission begins, Ham tries to use the jet pack to escape however, he crashes at plane causing a disaster. Comet wants to go through the training however, the scientists only want Ham, Luna, and Titan, not Comet. The three go in a gravitational probe, having Luna and Titan screaming, but Ham's internal structure can stand the pressure, forcing him to ask Luna to help him move next week. Ham doesn't take the training seriously and he keeps being immature during the training which angers Houston, Luna and Comet. Ham is uninterested in the mission, but he falls for Luna (though he is unaware that Luna was doing the same thing for Ham). The Senator likes the idea, but wants something extra special to grab the attention of the media, and picks Ham. Luna, and their bombastic commander, Titan. Technical genius chimp Comet hacks into NASA's computers and gets the scientists to pick them as astronauts to explore the planet and get the probe back, with the help of the fearless Lt. Zartog, an evil-minded inhabitant, accidentally discovers how to take manual control of the on-board machinery and uses it to enslave the population.įaced with the loss of the probe and probable loss of their budget, the scientists have to find a way to regain contact with and retrieve the probe. Meanwhile, an unmanned NASA space probe called the Infinity is dragged into an intergalactic wormhole, and crash-lands on an Earth-like planet on the other side of the galaxy. Kird De Micco directed based on the computer video game.The film begins with Ham III, grandson of the first chimpanzee in space, being a cannonball at his circus and later being criticized by his grandfather's friend Houston. Samberg brings a savvy zest to his vocal duties as the Ham, Stanley Tucci is a nefarious senator and-getting big laughs with flawlessly deadpan elan-Patrick Breen as one of the trio of egghead scientists. The animation here is pretty and colourful, with a pleasing Candyland quality to the alien planet surface. Despite all the fangs, parents shouldn't worry too much not a hair on any chimp is seriously singed, and along the pratfall strewn way there's time for lessons about responsibility and realization of one's full potential. NASA's by-the-book methods jar with Ham's mischief-making of course, but once the space training ends, the mission begins, with myriad dangers along the way, including: a big-toothed monster and a run amok alien named Zartog (Jeff Daniels) whose harnessed the previous space probe for world-domination purposes, all good opportunities for Ham III to redeem himself. A natural born rebel against authority, Ham the third is initially reluctant to go on a dangerous space mission to rescue a lost space probe, but away he goes, for lots of RIGHT STUFF-style astro-training alongside two highly prepared chimps, Luna and Titan (Cheryl Hines and Patrick Warburton). Circus monkey Ham III (voiced by Andy Samberg) works in a circus where he's regularly shot from a canon but he still lives in the shadow of his father's legacy (Ham I was the first chimp shot into space in 1961).
