Critics Consensus

Flatly animated and indifferently scripted, Fly Me To the Moon offers little for audiences not comprised of very young children.

Everyone knows that houseflies didn't go to the moon, considering these are anthropomorphic flies that had space suits for crying out loud. But for some strange reason the movie decided to have a live action Buzz Aldrin show up saying it never happened. It has early 2000s cheaper animation style and minor character issues. This is a kid's movie made for kids, how does it make it bad? Sure there's nothing for adults that aren't kids at heart and there is nothing close to real fly facts or historical facts but it is funny, the cast does great and well written. Overall, a flawed but fun kid's flick.

With ground-breaking animation, likeable characters, and a compelling storyline about the Apollo mission, Fly Me To The Moon is a classic for years to come.

If this animation was intended to be an experiment for IMAX 3D technology, then it's probably best if it played in IMAX only theaters, or better yet, just go on DVD with 3D options and glasses. For this was indeed a poorly animated and sloppily wrote picture that's best left for kids.

It's clear that animators can now achieve levels of visual depth that were previously impossible.

Best suited for younger children, "Fly Me to the Moon" will give little ones an appealing, eye-catching first look at 3-D movies, provided they can be persuaded to keep their goggles on.
