space chimps
The monkeys in the U.S.
space program might seem like an odd subject for an animated film, especially since scientists killed a ton of them in the process. In fact, the first six monkeys, uninspiringly named Albert I through Albert VI, all died either in flight, on impact, or right after landing. Not exactly your Saturday matinee popcorn fare, but later this year we'll have both a
Space Chimps movie in theaters, and a
video game featuring this crazy family of monkey astronauts.
