movie blurb...fly me to the moon

MovieGuide recommends: FLY ME TO THE MOON is the first completely 3-D animated family release made solely for that format. The movie opens in 1969 with three young flies, led by Nat, pretending to be astronauts while playing in the shadow of NASA’s launchpad in Florida. Nat idolizes his grandfather, an adventurer who wears an old pilot’s jacket. His grandfather tells stories about his adventures, especially the time he helped Amelia Earhart cross the Atlantic Ocean. Nat convinces his two buddies to sneak onto the capsule for Apollo 11, the spacecraft carrying Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins to the moon. Nat wants to be the first fly to land on the moon.
