Chimpanzee Movie, Real with Tears & Joy

Rated G   –   In Theaters April 20th, 2012

A 3-year-old chimpanzee is separated from his troop and is then adopted by a fully-grown male.

This is one of those films that you can take the whole family to.  No script just completely real.  You will laugh, cry and be amazed how similar chimpanzee’s are to ourselves.

Disneynature takes moviegoers deep into the forests of Africa with “Chimpanzee,” a new True-LifeAdventure introducing an adorable young chimp named Oscar and his entertaining approach to life in a remarkable story of family bonds and individual triumph.  Oscar’s playful curiosity and zest for discovery showcase the intelligence and ingenuity of some of the most extraordinary personalities in the animal kingdom. Working together, Oscar’s chimpanzee family—including his mom, Isha, and the group’s savvy leader, Freddy — navigates the complex territory of the forest.

The world is a playground for little Oscar and his fellow young chimps, who’d rather make mayhem than join their parents for an afternoon nap. But when Oscar’s family is confronted by a rival band of chimps, he is left to fend for himself until a surprising ally steps in and changes his life forever.  Directed by Alastair Fothergill (“African Cats” and “Earth”) and Mark Linfield (“Earth”), “Chimpanzee” swings into theaters on Earth Day 2012.
