Believing in his grandpa's motto "If it ain't an adventure, it ain't worth doing," Nat concocts the idea that he and his friends stow away onboard the Apollo 11 spaceflight to land a man on the moon. With a little convincing, they agree, and soon are headed toward the lunar body, much to the horror of the boys' moms, including Nat's (voice of KELLY RIPA), who didn't inherit Grandpa's sense of adventure.
They're not alone, however, in showing surprise about the stowaways. Not wanting them to be the first flies on the moon, Russian General Poopchev (voice of ED BEGLEY, JR.) and Grandpa's long-lost love, Nadia (voice of NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN), order their inside fly at Cape Canaveral, Yegor (voice of TIM CURRY), and his two goons to try to sabotage the trip.
From the approach, landing and then return toward Earth, Nat and his friends experience the thrills and perils of space travel, all as Grandpa and others race to stop Yegor and his thugs from endangering the young flies' lives.
Violence consists of some fighting (between flies) as well as some of them being knocked around or hitting others. It's possible some of that and some moments of potential peril might be unsettling or suspenseful to some very young kids, but likely few if any others.
Bad attitudes are present, as are some worried/mad moms about their kids running off without permission, while some crude humor occurs, there's an alcohol reference, and cigarette butts are seen in an ashtray.
Should you still be concerned about the film's appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home, you may want to look more closely at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there's a point of view flying scene (in 3-D) that might induce that reaction (as it veers one direction and then the other, etc.).
