They are important fundraising campaigns, but we only receive momentary glimpses of the animals. In many ways, Chimpanzee is the antithesis of those commercials asking for a quarter a day to save the rainforest or some threatened species. The added duration allows the viewer to grow comfortable with these individual animals, supplying visuals beyond mere statistics and blanket warnings about the loss of habitat. Having access to a chimpanzee family for so long and with such stunning footage feels like a rare feat among documentaries. Chimpanzee, because of its adorable protagonist and true drama at its core, may be the benchmark for the company. Other Disneynature films follow bears, birds and African cats. Instead, the film has fun with the potential behind finding such stories in the African jungle. Chimpanzee is entertaining and educational, and it never dumbs down the importance of ecology, biology and the animal kingdom. More wildlife documentaries should hit movie theaters, bumping out the basic and annoying children’s films that too often eat up the screens of cineplexes. By giving these animals character names, it’s easier to identify them among the other family members and follow their trajectory. Instead of going the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet route with documentary safari footage intended for adults, the movie is meant for a younger audience who appreciates such narrative techniques as climax, suspense and characterization. But Allen’s humorous narration and Disneynature’s objectives are easy to accept. Of course, Oscar, Isha, Scar and Freddy are real animals, not characters with perfectly appropriate names. Some critics may deride Disney for essentially working its “Disney formula” on a real family of chimpanzees. Throughout the melee, it’s up to Oscar to find a way to survive. What transpires between Freddy and Scar is violent and thrilling what transpires between Freddy and Oscar is a touching story of family bonds that build up and break apart. Of course, this being a Disney film, there needs to be some type of villain, and that’s where Scar enters the narrative. There’s Isha, his mother, and Freddy, leader of the chimpanzee family. Disneys film Chimpanzee is a compelling story of baby chimp Oscar and the real-life trials and tribulations of his troop deep in the African jungles. Narrated by Tim Allen, Chimpanzee extends beyond Oscar’s story and includes the ups and downs of his entire troupe of fellow chimps. ![]() ![]() The filmmakers behind the movie follow Oscar as if he were a celebrity, capturing his every move and finding poetry in his life’s story. Narrated by a Natalie Portman, it focuses on. The documentary, which feels like a fictionalized film, tells the story of Oscar, a chimpanzee in the African jungle, and his struggles to be accepted amid troubling circumstances. Dolphin Reef arrived on Disney+ last week, the localized version of a movie that Disney had released in France (under the title Blue) way back in 2018.
