## Plot

In outer space, an uncrewed, [intelligent life](/source/Extraterrestrial_life)-searching [NASA](/source/NASA) [space probe](/source/Space_probe), *Infinity*, is dragged into an intergalactic [wormhole](/source/Wormhole) and crash-lands on the other side of the galaxy. It lands on an Earth-like alien planet named Malgor, populated by colorful alien beings. Zartog, an inhabitant, accidentally discovers how to take manual control of the onboard machinery and uses it to enslave the population. Faced with the possible extinction of *Infinity* and their budget, the scientists hire multiple chimpanzees as astronauts to regain contact with the probe and retrieve it: technical genius Comet, lieutenant Luna and commander Titan. The Senator adds Ham III, grandson of [Ham, the first chimpanzee in space](/source/Ham_(chimpanzee)) to the team, who works as a [cannonball](/source/Human_cannonball) at a circus in company of Houston, a friend of Ham III's grandfather. Ham III is uninterested in the mission, but despite his best attempts to escape, he is launched into space.

Ham, Luna and Titan enter the [wormhole](/source/Wormhole), where the latter two pass out from the pressure, leaving Ham with the task of getting the ship out and landing it. The ship and Titan are taken by the henchmen of a tyrannical [fishmen](/source/Aquatic_humanoid)-like [alien](/source/Extraterrestrial_life) named Zartog, and Titan, unaware of Zartog's agenda, teaches him about the probe's features. Ham and Luna journey to Zartog's palace. Ham reveals that he believes Space Chimps is a joke which makes Luna angry at him. They arrive in the planet Malgor and meets a big-headed alien named Kilowatt, who glows when she gets scared. They go into a valley of the aliens' food where they meet some small, spherical creatures called globhoppers, which arrange themselves into a duplicate of Ham and copy his every move, and then they go into the cave of the Flesh-Devouring Beast. Kilowatt volunteers to distract the beast so Luna and Ham can escape, and is devoured in the process. They then go inside the Dark Cloud of Id, which they fall out of. Once at the palace, they rescue Titan and plan to leave. However, Ham, Luna and Titan alter their course of action after noticing Zartog torturing the inhabitants by having them frozen in a pool of freznar, feeling they owe it to Kilowatt to stop Zartog. They abandon the ship, which returns home on autopilot.

Zartog attacks the chimpanzees with the probe and threatens to freeze them all, but Titan tricks him into activating the probe's ejection mechanism, which launches Zartog into the pool of freznar and freezes him. Kilowatt, who has survived, frees the chimps. The chimps re-establish contact with Houston and Comet to discuss their prospects on leaving. By Ham's suggestion and with help from Malgor's inhabitants, they manage to engineer a ship from the probe's constituents, launching it through a volcanic eruption while using the frozen Zartog as their nose cone.

Before they re-enter the wormhole, Titan hands the controls over to Ham. Though Ham becomes skeptical once more, he is reassured by a vision of his grandfather and steers it out of the wormhole. Comet advises him to decrease the ship's entry angle, and the ship starts spinning out, though Luna recovers in time to aid Ham. The repurposed mechanical arms soon fail, and the Zartog nose cone detaches in the atmosphere, damaging one of the ship's fins while Comet and Houston appropriate an [HEMTT](/source/Heavy_Expanded_Mobility_Tactical_Truck) to prepare for the ship's arrival. Since Ham needs to fly and Titan is still out, Luna climbs out to repair it. She succeeds and Ham regains control as the ship passes a media conference, but Luna loses her grip and is seemingly killed. Ham nearly crashes the ship and one of the arms break off, but he manages to successfully land it on the HEMTT. He leaves the ship and finds Luna merely knocked out. Moments later, Houston, Comet and Titan catch up with them. Attracted by the commotion, the scientist, Senator and media discover the ship and the chimps. Under pressure from the press, the Senator decides to dramatically increase the space program's funding instead of cutting it. Subsequently, the scientists celebrate their return.

Zartog is later revealed to have landed in front of a suburban residence, as a [Dachshund](/source/Dachshund) then urinates on him after he leaves the ship.

## Production

In 2002, Kirk DeMicco conceived a film premise of anthropomorphic chimpanzees on a spaceship from viewing *[The Right Stuff](/source/The_Right_Stuff_(film))* (1983), a fictional depiction of the [Mercury Seven](/source/Mercury_Seven) program. It included the line, "Does a monkey know he's sitting on top of a rocket that might explode?" which made him wonder what happened if the monkey knew. Shortly after the lightbulb moment, he saw the famous space chimpanzee [Ham](/source/Ham_(chimpanzee)) on the cover of a 1961 issue of *[Life](/source/Life_(magazine))* magazine; the chimpanzee's smug expression gave him the idea of a self-centered protagonist going on a dangerous space mission.[4] Using the *Life* magazine issue with him, DeMicco pitched his ideas to [John H. Williams](/source/John_H._Williams_(film_producer)), comparing the plot to that of *[Tommy Boy](/source/Tommy_Boy)* (1995). Williams was instantly hooked and began working with him from there.[4] They later decided on "a great sci-fi adventure" for children that was also a mocking of [science fiction](/source/Science_fiction) media in the same way the *[Shrek](/source/Shrek_(franchise))* films, which Williams also produced, parodied [fairy tales](/source/Fairy_tales).[4] DeMicco wanted the planet to have the vibe of the [Mos Eisley](/source/Mos_Eisley) [cantina](/source/Cantina) of the *[Star Wars](/source/Star_Wars)* series.[4]

The project and its title, *Space Chimps*, were first publicized in a *[Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine))* article on June 7, 2004, announcing it was next in Vanguard's production line after *[Valiant](/source/Valiant_(film))* (2005).[5] The film was produced in two years by Williams' Vanguard Animation studio with a team of around 170, a $37 million budget, and DeMicco as director.[4] For the film, a new [pipeline](/source/Graphics_pipeline) was created, as well as a studio constructed in [Vancouver](/source/Vancouver).[4] [Chris Bacon](/source/Chris_Bacon_(composer)) was chosen as composer, who was recommended to DeMicco by [James Newton Howard](/source/James_Newton_Howard). The limited budget meant creative choices had to be made for the music to sound interesting; according to DeMicco, beds were occasionally used alongside the orchestra, and the [Blue Man Group](/source/Blue_Man_Group) played [PVC pipes](/source/PVC_pipe).[4]

## Release

On April 11, 2006, [20th Century Fox](/source/20th_Century_Studios) signed a deal with Vanguard [minority owner](/source/Minority_interest) [IDT Entertainment](/source/Starz_Distribution) to distribute four films, the second in line being *Space Chimps*.[6]

*Space Chimps* was originally set to be released on May 2, 2008, but on December 19, 2007, the movie's release date was changed to July 18, 2008. This was mainly because of the [2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike](/source/2007%E2%80%9308_Writers_Guild_of_America_strike).[7]
