Nat's mother discovers the plan too late - "Oh my lord of the flies, they are going to the moon!" - and like the rest of the world, she witnesses history in the making. However, once Russian insects discover America's triumph, they dispatch operative Yegor to sabotage mission control, ensuring Nat, Scooter and IQ never make it back to terra firma.

Fly Me to the Moon

By Derek Malcolm, Evening Standard  02.10.08
 

This rather limp animated 3-D epic has three houseflies sneaking aboard the Apollo 11 spaceship mission to the moon. Voiced by Christopher Lloyd,Tim Curry and Ed Begley Jr, they scuttle about entertainingly for half the time and buzz around our heads as often as not.

The result is only just worth 90 minutes of anybody’s time, and has Buzz Aldrin appearing at the end to assure everyone that none of it was remotely possible. Surprise, surprise!
