Plot

Space Chimps 2 takes place awhile after the first film. It follows Comet (Zack Shada), the computer-savvy chimp, who wants to be taken as a full-fledged space chimp, but Ham (Tom Kenny), Luna (Cheryl Hines) and the others don't take him seriously. However, Comet finds out that he was removed from the last space mission because of budget cuts. While Ham and Luna are goofing off, Comet rebelliously interferes with the controls on the rocket, accidentally launching the ship into space. Comet lands on Planet Malgor where he meets Ham's alien friend, Kilowatt (Laura Bailey), for the first time and gets respect from the residents there.

However, back on Earth, Zartog (John DiMaggio), the villain from the first film, sneaks in and takes over Mission Control with a remote that departiclizes objects and zaps the three scientists, Dr. Bob (Patrick Breen), Dr. Jagu (Omid Abtahi) and Dr. Poole (Jane Lynch) out of existence. Zartog wants to get revenge on Ham for foiling his plans and encounters an oblivious Titan (Patrick Warburton) who gives him a tour of Mission Control.

Comet, accompanied by Kilowatt, return to Earth, while Ham evades Zartog on a jetpack. While Zartog's distracted, Comet manages to steal the remote back and rewires it to bring the scientists back and shrink Zartog; Zartog escapes while the others laugh. The film ends with Zartog running from a dog he harassed earlier.

gollark: Great, apiodone.
gollark: I'm not sure about that one.
gollark: Fair, you could probably write something eldritch out with `JOIN`s, but my question was whether revisions should have UUIDs or just be identified only by a combination of timestamp and page.
gollark: Well, yes, it's retrievable, but that would be slower thus apiobad.
gollark: For a hypothetical "index" which "lists" all "pages".
