* AntiVillain: Steven Gigs works for Carson and accompanies him on the Moon. However, he doesn't do anything beyond helping him pilot the ship. He's simply too much of an ExtremeDoormat to do anything to stop his boss.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: There is a late night show host named [[Creator/JayLeno Jay Lemman]], and Carson's two lackeys are called [[Creator/SteveJobs Steve Gigs]] and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates Bill Gags]] complete with the same physical appearances and trademark clothes as them. Also, the director of Carson's moon landing hoax is none than Creator/StanleyKubrick himself [[spoiler:who now cleans floors for Carson for failing him]].

Capture the Flag (original title: Atrapa la Bandera) is a 2015 3D Spanish computer-animated sci-fi adventure comedy film which is directed by Enrique Gato.

The movie resolves around Mike Goldwing, a plucky, determined 12-year old boy, who is the son and grandson of NASA astronauts. His grandfather Frank, a once revered, but now forgotten retired astronaut, lives his days isolated from his family after missing out on his big chance to fly to the moon with Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin as a part of the Apollo XI mission. When an eccentric billionaire sets an evil plan to fly to the moon, steal the moon's vast mineral resources, and destroy the American flag planted by the Apollo XI team, Mike embarks on a magnificent adventure as a stowaway on the space shuttle. Accompanied by his grandfather, best friends Amy and Marty, and a clever chameleon, Mike blasts off to the moon to capture the flag and reunite his family.
