I was able to catch one of the first screenings in the country for Disney's Chimpanzee. The movie is by British producer/director Alastair Fothergill, whose credits include the landmark Planet Earth series for the BBC and The Discovery Channel and The Blue Planet.
Getting the screening was quite a journey. Living deep inside Brooklyn commuting to the Upper East Side when trains aren't running as they're suppose to was quite hectic. But nothing deter us as the movie was FREE and AMC had a free small popcorn for liking them on their Facebook. =D
The movie was kind of what I expected but in some parts it really blew me away. This is not the type of movie I would normally pay to watch. I frankly would've rather be at the Tribeca Film Festival screening downtown of The Avengers today! But the musical score, the story told through the narration of Tim Allen and the cinematography are all... AMAZING. If you don't catch it in the theaters at least go rent it when it's on DVD/Blu Ray. It's definitely worth watching at least once. You learn a lot about them. The story is told with the focus on a particular group of Chimpanzees with a baby Chimp Oscar as the main character. He's SO adorable!
Talk the TALK
1) Do you plan to watch Disney's Chimpanzees?
2) Do you like nature movies?

i didn't know there was a movie like this out there.
i usually never go see these in theaters but i always buy them.
I enjoy them they do a good job at keeping it interesting so you don't get to bored :)
i love my disney
i saw the trailer it was pretty good
i love the plot
the chimps are sooo cute!!!!
Ah, my mother would love to watch this since she's always glued to the Animal Planet channel and other related stuff. AWW. too cute
This seems like a good movie, but I don't think I will be watching it
I think this is wonderful, it's about time Disney did more wildlife documentaries, children should be learning about animals and having a respect for them and nature, I think it's a great thing and I'm going to force my neice to watch this instead of mickey mouse for once lol :) I know it will spark something in her little brain and she's very interested in nature anyway.
Sounds like it's worth watching.
cool
I do, and cute pic.
i usually don't like nature shows but i was flipping through the channels and i saw this and i was like wow.
Eileen Hoang: you can always ask Lilly to treat you =)
A A: maybe catch a matinee if you can then.
MH Chow: i haven't watched it but heard good things
MACaddict25 ♥: now you have. =) like i said i haven't really seen a lot of marketing.
Sara Lopes: i don't know when it comes out where you are at, but in the US it's out next week.
Rui Martins: sorry i'm feeling a bit lazy about using Google Translate today.
Amy Chen: Your youngest yes.
If it's free I'll watch it. I am broke so I am not paying to see something I do not really really want to see.
Steph Yen: it's very adorable. except when there's chimp on chimp violence.
Vivian Tso: what have you got against nature.
i would love to bring my daughters. but wouldn't want to pay $10-12 a ticket
I won't be watching this, but I did watch the Planet Earth movies
I am not super into these sorts of movies. So won't be watching it.
crispy ☮: It's out next week.
Sparkle Rain: Might be a few months before it is released.
♡A. Leungツ: They haven't really advertised much.
Connie C: Cheapskate. Lol. Me too.
Alicia ☺: His name is Oscar! Not the grouch. =p
jello birdie: I hate romance movies.
mylittlecasey *: I was shocked that they ate monkeys! From Planet of the Apes I thought they worked together !
Sarah ♔♡ H: Lol! You're pretty close! Did you sneak in?
I've not even heard of this film lol
I didn't know this movie, but it seems pretty interesting, it's a movie that I have to see :)
muito fixe os chimpazes...
do you think my daughters are too young for this?
looks like a cute movie. i saw the trailer on youtube after seeing this post.
Lilly M: Yeah i haven't seen much trailers for it either. It's officially out next week.
I think I saw the preview for this. I want to see it too.
nice. I would like to watch it. but not in the theater unless it is for free. Maybe I can borrow the dvd when the library has it.
I never heard of this movie and it's not a typical movie I will watch.
I like nature movies. I love animals, but this is not something I'd pay to watch in a theatre. When it appears on tv I will watch it or online lol.
Aww, that little chimp is cute. :) I do like the occasional nature documentary.
i'm with Sarah. I'm not big on nature movies. I prefer romantic comedies.
I have the entire collection of the Blue Planet and Planet Earth series so I can imagine how spectacular this movie is. I love learning about chimpanzees and studied about them quite a bit in college. They are amazing creatures!
I hate nature movies. They always have the mini sad parts where the babies get eaten or the mom loses her baby. Something... lol :/
I didn't even know about this movie. I like animals and I'd see it but only for free because I am cheap like that. Unless it is a super good movie then I will venture out to the theaters and pay for it. This looks more like something I'd watch on an evening I am free.
