Vanguard’s Space Chimps 2 3-D Goes into Production
Los Angeles-based Vanguard Animation is producing a sequel to its 2008 CG-animated feature, Space Chimps. Overseen by animation veteran John Williams (Shrek, Valiant, Happily N’Ever After) the studio is working on the 3-D Space Chimps 2 feature with Fox Home Entertainment, The Animation Picture Company and New Market Capital.
Plans are to release the new feature on DVD in the U.S. in January 2010 and theatrically in select foreign territories in March or April. Mumbai-based Prana Studios is handling the animation. Vanguard presented some of the completed 3-D scenes to buyers at the Cannes Festival this spring. An animated TV series based on the property is also in development.

I'm excited for them getting to make another one, but I am confused: I thought it did really poorly in the box office(?). Regardless, I am very happy for all involved!
YES!!! I was hoping for a second one. I loved the first Space Chimps.
Anony, it actually didn't do that bad. More on that later.
Kate, yes, me too! I think the aliens stuff was a little too "home video worthy" for a theatrical release, so I hope they have a better script and better alien effects if they venture back out to an alien planet.
I think they knew that the alien stuff was the weakness, because it didn't show up in the trailer at all. Just going by the trailer, you actually didn't know that 80% of the movie was on an alien planet.
Thanks!

Yeah I agree, the alien stuff was not all that great, but yeah it should be better the second time around. I hope they keep all the same characters, but I also hope there are some great new ones as well.
