Editorial Reviews
Young housefly Nat is looking for adventure and hatches a plan to jet into outer space with his two best friends. In their homemade space suits, they take a wild ride aboard Apollo 11 all the way to the moon. As their families watch at home, the three flies become the first insects ever to journey into space... but this is no ordinary thrill ride. After a potentially disastrous mechanical problem, these daredevil flies must save the day.

INTERESTING STORY, BUT GENERIC CHARACTERS AND AWFUL 3-D ON THE DVD RELEASE, KEEP THIS ONE FROM REALLY TAKING OFF!
June 22, 2009
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I watched this film in both 3-D and 2-D on the DVD release to compare the two versions. The 2-D version looks very good and although the animation might not match that of Wall E, it is very solid. If only the characters had a little more umm?......character!
The fly's design is a cross between the Smurfs and some discarded character designs from 'A Bug's Life'. The voice work is nothing special either. The story is interesting and overall is a fairly enjoyable film experience, but it just isn't up to the likes of Pixar's efforts.
What is most disappointing is the 3-D version on the DVD. The color is almost non-existent and what color is there is completely off. The Maggot babies are lime green where as in the 2 D version they're pink-ish. If fact most anything with color is lime green and the rest looks like a black and white film or the color is so subtle you have to strain to see what color it is...... it's too distracting and it looks awful!
Also, there is the typical double vision effect which wouldn't be so bad if the color was right. I also feel that two cheap sets of 3-D glasses are not enough to include with the DVD. I mean really?... how much could these things cost? If you want to watch the 3-D version with you kids, you'll have to take turns!?? They should have included at least four pair of glasses and why not six? If your going to advertise 3-D on the cover then make it so the whole family can watch it together.

Format:DVD
I had not heard or read too much about "Fly Me to the Moon". But the manager of the local DVD store highly recommended it. I bought a copy and thoroughly enjoyed it! I am a 57-year-old married man that's a DVD collector. I have easily over 1,500 DVDs in my collection. I will buy more copies of this movie to give to my nieces and nephews. It was cute, simple. The CGI was so colorful especially on our 55-inch Sony HD TV.
Give it a try and you won't regret it. Enjoy!

Great Movie! Our church did a free movie night as an outreach to the community and everyone was extremely pleased. The movie has excellent 3D effects and a great story that was interesting for adults as well as the children. The one DVD has both the 3D and the normal video mode which is also very helpful. Enjoy!

I know why I never heard of this movie before
It's a great, safe, kid-friendly movie, however it really just doesn't have a very good plot. My kids had trouble staying interested and I fell asleep!

This is a good children movie. You can leave the room and not have to worry about no surprises happening while you are out of the room.

Not Imax But Not That Bad
I have had this movie in 2D for quite some time. I decided to buy it in 3d just to help increase my order total so I could get free shipping. I was surprised by the 3D effects. Read more

Not what I expected
The video was formatted for another country and won't play on an American DVD system. I had no idea that it be that way.
