Producer Charlotte Huggins on Fly Me to the Moon: "It's the first animated feature made for 3-D and released only in 3-D. It's a great little G-rated movie, pure G, as G as any movie you'll ever see. Great cast, with Tim Curry and Nicolette Sheridan and Christopher Lloyd and Kelly Ripa [as well as Adrienne Barbeau, Robert Patrick and Ed Begley Jr.]. Three little flies go to the moon with Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin, and they help get the Apollo 11 spaceship back. It's fun and has got a lot of good music." It releases August 8.
