BRASH ENTERTAINMENT CREATING "SPACE CHIMPS" GAME IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH VANGUARD ANIMATION


Brash Entertainment today announced the release of Space Chimps, a brand new
action adventure videogame title. Based on the hotly anticipated CGI-animated
Space Chimps film from the creator of Shrek, John H. Williams (Shrek and Shrek
2), Space Chimps the videogame combines the same colorful world and characters
of the forthcoming film with a unique storyline that puts fans in the heart of
the action with 11 levels of monkey fun and mayhem. Space Chimps the videogame
will release alongside the film and will be marketed and distributed across
Europe by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment in August 2008.

Space Chimps is a hilarious new action adventure-comedy film
that follows the exploits of mischievous young circus chimp, Ham (voiced by Andy
Samburg) who happens to be the grandson of the first primate ever sent into
space! As a publicity stunt, Ham is chosen to lead an exploratory mission into
outer space to investigate a mysterious new planet. But when he and his crew
crash-land in a bizarre and beautiful new world and find their lives in peril at
the hands of the tyrannical King Zartog, Ham must step up to his dangerous
mission to save his fellow space chimps, Titan (voiced by Patrick Warburton) and
Luna (voiced by Cheryl Hines), and lead the emancipation of the imprisoned
aliens and the planet.

In the game, players can take part in this galactic adventure
first hand by tumbling, jumping, climbing and swinging their way through
environments taken straight out of the film, as well as explore some unique and
unseen planet locations. They can switch between fighting and puzzle solving
mode as they travel from level to level playing as Ham and Luna on a harrowing
mission through a dangerous inter-universal wormhole. Across 11 levels, battle
in two-player co-op style and interact with brand new characters as well as
familiar faces from the film and encounter 13 entirely new enemies. The Nintendo
DS™ version even offers entirely exclusive gameplay with 3D side-scrolling
action and two-player multiplayer.

“The Space Chimps film introduces a colorful cast of
characters that fans will love,” explained Mitch Davis, co-founder, chairman and
CEO of Brash Entertainment. “We’ve collaborated with Vanguard to create a game
that incorporates the characters and world of the movie whilst adding a unique
storyline with additional new characters, that will give fans the opportunity to
live in the Space Chimp world a little longer.”

“We’re excited about the upcoming release of Space Chimps, and
equally happy that Brash is the company that produces the first ever game based
on a Vanguard project,” said Williams, who is chief executive of Vanguard
Animation. “We know this game will enable fans to extend the Space Chimps
experience.”

Space Chimps will be available for the XBOX™ 360,
PLAYSTATION®2 computer entertainment system, the Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ videogame
systems from Nintendo in August 2008.
