The space chimps are preparing for a second space flight to the planet Malgor and Comet, a young and very technically accomplished whizz chimp, has joined the team. When Zartog, the former ruler of Malgor, takes over Mission Control, it is left to the space chimps to save the day.
'Space Chimps 2 – Zartog Strikes Back' is an animated sci-fi adventure for children and the sequel to 'Space Chimps'. The film contains infrequent mild innuendo.
The mild innuendo includes a scene in which Ham, one of the chimps, says 'All I know what to do on that [computer] is download Chimps Gone Wild'. Although this is clearly an oblique reference to the 'Girls Gone Wild' adult film franchise, its meaning is likely to be lost on young viewers. At the end of the film, Ham is twice introduced to a circus audience as the 'pimp chimp' before he performs his trade mark chimpanzee cannonball stunt. The reference lacks any sexual context or further explanation.
The film also contains some very mild slapstick violence. In one scene Zartog, the villain, kicks a Dachshund into a bush and in another he kicks a space hamster against a wall. In neither case is the animal in question injured.
The very mild bad language in the film includes the terms 'moronic', 'butt', 'nerds', 'darn' and 'heck'.
'U' stands for Universal, which means that we think the film is suitable for audiences aged four or older.
The film is also available in 3D and some younger children may find this a more intense experience.
