A familiar story interpreted by some close relatives of us.
The most striking feature I noticed while watching this film was the resemblance of these creatures to my neighbors. It’s incredible how similar to us they are!Granted, Doña Carmen and Don José don’t go as far as to deflea each other while carrying on a casual conversation on a sidewalk, but the similarities in body gestures and specially when persistently looking at the camera lens (it happened several times, whether intentionally or not) and we could see overwhelmingly human eyes looking at us, can be quite disturbing.
Impeccable photography with so many close ups that one wonders constantly at how they had managed to take those shots without disturbing the animals. I’m sure Disney has the most sophisticated equipment in the World in order to present such splendipherous depth of lenses and superb sharpness all the time, even from long distances, but even so, chimpanzees have a very sensitive sense of smell and I’m sure they could detect human presence from afar, but apparently it left them unconcerned and they proceeded naturally with their daily chores.
The forest, breathtaking, specially from the air, and the lushness of all that green carpet we see below seems to go forever on behind those far away mountains; when the camera goes down to ground level it’s disconcerting to notice how very little sunlight reaches these animals.
Since it was a Disney film, obviously thought out for children, the notorious lack of restrain among monkeys and chimps when it comes to bodily functions, including everything related to sex, which is so habitual to see in zoos in broad daylight, here there is no trace whatsoever of it, like in those old Doris Day films, where everything was squeaky clean.
A good film for Eco-friendly fans.
P.S.: I gave it a 9 because of the titanic efforts of the whole crew and the tenacity they put into the project, working under such harsh and probably dangerous conditions.
“…survival is all that matters”.
Exceptional cinematography of chimpanzees in their natural element is the principal draw for this documentary styled film. All throughout however I felt the story line was manufactured and didn’t find it all that credible. I didn’t realize it was Tim Allen narrating until I read about it here; his low key manner didn’t quite click with this viewer, and in hindsight, the scenes of chimps using ‘tools’ to crack nut shells might have been better handled by his ‘Home Improvement’ partner Richard Karn. There were a couple instances that I thought might not be appropriate for young kids, the death of Oscar’s mother was handled well enough but some youngsters might not take the news too favorably. The chimps hunting monkeys for food was another, that was a new one on me. I never would have guessed chimpanzees could be meat eaters so you learn something new everyday, though I can’t say I’m the better for it now that I know. I haven’t seen that many wildlife documentaries to make a comparison, this one was okay as far as it goes, but it didn’t have me going ‘Wow’.
