These flies are meant to be one of a kind but theyre just pop culture magpies.

These flies drift lethargically from place to place, and the movie bogs down in their lackadaisical pace.

When Collins lands in the looney bin, there isnt a sympathetic look or voice lent her, every one of the staff a monstrous villain.

G rated, 3D animated adventure of three plucky young flies who hitch a ride on Apollo 11 plods rather than soars. And maggots with faces arent cute.
