Kid’s movie posters that command you to do something are next levs. Still, there’s not a chance in hell that Space Monkeys will reign supreme over 1987’s Project X as the top monkeys-in-flight-afternoon-delight movie of our times. Even with voice talent including Cheryl Hines, Jane Lynch, Kenan Thompson (did he start taking funnay pills?), Andy Samberg, and Stanley Tucci. Not happenin’.
This is not as funny as it could be, but a trivial animal cruelty controversy is brewing over Space Chimps on IMDB, if you want to squeeze one out or feign outrage.

As miserable as Letterman’s Oscar hosting was, I will always remember the part where he showed various people auditioning for his Cabin Boy part.

Cabin Boy is so underrated.

No, I don’t want to buy a monkey.
Not even if they’re in a spaceship. Kids will love it, though!

I feel sorry for the poor bastards who had to animate this turd.

Add films like this to the list of reasons I’m glad I don’t have kids.

Any chance they’ll have a similar theme song as “Howard the Duck”?

After Indy 4, I’m not really in the mood for CGI monkeys.

i wanted to go to the imdb site and start crusading for monkey rights, just to get a kick, but i couldnt post unless i verified with a cc or something, so i said fuck that.. peter, hunter, please dont ever implement anything like that here, this site is all i have to look forward too anymore…. i am a sad sad man

Yeah! Space Chimps! I will be first in line! Monkeys in wormholes are automatically funny! How can you not get this? Chimps. In Space. Because if it were chimps in the jungle then they couldn’t call it Space Chimps. As for the controversy on IMDB I fully support the animal rights of all fake CGI animals!
