May 22 2008 'Space Chimps' Continues to Look Really Good with New Poster

From the trailer, it was already clear Space Chimps was going to be a wonderfully charming animated family comedy about chimps in space, and probably even have some strong sequel potential. But now, thanks to this poster, it's looking even better! No, I'm not talking about the clever "go bananas" tagline (chimps do like bananas); I'm referring to the "music by" section. It's hard to see it this size, but if you look at the full version, you'll see Chris Bacon--OK, whatever--and... is that... Blue Man Group? YES. Not only do you get to hear Patrick Warburton play yet another oafish animated character, you'll also be lightly serenaded by the pounding of sticks in a paint-puddled drum, the faint hum of a blacklight, and the deafening applause of excited tourists. What a beautiful, beautiful film this will be.

The film also stars Patrick Warburton as (surprise!) the big oafish chimp, but sadly lacks any of my favorite screen chimps.
