Election campaign with a difference

Space Chimps
After Wall-E, here are cartoon monkeys in space with silly jokes about opposable thumbs and skidding on bananas skins.

But Space Chimps isn’t so terrible—it’s unashamed kids’ stuff that addresses no bigger question than how to pee in your space suit.

Needless to say, next to Pixar’s lovingly detailed worlds, the animation looks a bit dated, even slapdash. It’s paced as if in need of a dose of Ritalin, with the requisite stabs at gags for grown-ups, some of them not half bad. - Cath Clarke
