MOON PILOT is an uproarious satirical comedy from the Disney folks, who aren't generally known for their social criticism. Here the space program gets the treatment when a mischievous monkey volunteers Tryon to be the first man in orbit. On a trip to tell his mother the news, Tryon
notices that a mysterious woman (Saval) seems to be following him. She shows up in his mother's town, and when the NASA officials lock him in a hotel, she shows up again and reveals some surprising facts about her background. In throwing a monkey into the proceedings, Disney guaranteed that kids
will love the film.
