The geniuses at NASA accidentally build the lunar module a little too small for an adult in “Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood.” In Richard Linklater’s first foray into animation since “A Scanner Darkly,” a few fast-talking NASA men (Glen Powell and Zachary Levi) recruit an average local elementary school student, Stan, to test it out for them on a top secret mission to the Moon. It’s the kind of thing kids have been dreaming about for over 50 years.Memory is a funny thing, of course, and no one fantasizes as freely as a kid.
For this imaginative spirit living in the Houston area in the late 1960s near NASA at its heyday was like “being where science fiction was coming to life. The optimistic, technological future was now and we were at the absolute center of everything new and better,” he says.It should be said that our narrator Stan (Milo Coy voices him as a kid, Jack Black as an adult) is a bit of a fabulist.
Not that it matters, “Apollo 10½” is only sort of about Stan’s fantastical trip to the Moon before Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins took off in Apollo 11. It is a breezy nostalgia-fest, in rotoscope, about a very specific childhood in a very specific place with an adult narrator telling us the story of his childhood.
His siblings teased him for not being in many family photos because, as he says, at that point his family had given up on documenting every move of their children.And it is not dissimilar to retrospective coming-of-age larks like “Stand by Me,” “Now and Then” and “The Wonder Years,” with its earnest, wry observations. Stan takes us through daily life as a 10-year-old in 1969 as the youngest of six children in a neighborhood where it seemed like everyone worked for NASA in some

Could you talk about your relationship with Richard Linklater and how it’s evolved over these several films?Well, we’re friends and we’re good. And I think that sort of makes it all easy, in a way, but it also kind of blurs together because when we’re not making films together, we’re still hanging out and talking about films and every project that I work on that he’s not directly involved with or movies that he’s working on, that I’m not directly involved with, we still always talk about them to each other. It feels a bit like he’s an older brother.When did he first mention this project to you?He mentioned it a long time ago and if you know Rick, he gestates ideas for a very long time.
Liane Dobson, who holds the listing with Kienlen Lattmann Sotheby’s International Realty, told The Post. Houston passed away at age 48 on February 11, 2012, when she was discovered unconscious in Suite 434 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, submerged in the bathtub. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office reported that Houston’s death was accidental and caused by drowning and the “effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use.”
Wilson Chapman editorThe Houston of “Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood,” premiering April 1 on Netflix, is both a loving depiction of the city as it once was and a vision of a place that never quite existed. Translating live-action elements into its animated scenes, the film, written and directed by Richard Linklater, explores the 1969 moon landing from the perspective of an ordinary kid, Stanley, played by Milo Coy, racing through vignette after vignette of life in the city with painstaking specificity. But the overall look is one of palpable nostalgia — that the viewer is watching Linklater’s wistful recollections of his own childhood.“Memories can be deceiving,” says animation production designer Vincent Bisschop.
