April 20th, 2012

Have you ever seen a more beautiful picture? I love it and Disneynature did a phenomenal job on their newest film, Chimpanzee. A beautiful story about Oscar and Freddie. Oscar loses his mommy and Freddie adopts him. It shows you a site never seen before about how chimps work and relate. From the waterfalls to flying through the air with the birds you can see the amazing beauty in the film. Even the filming of the insects is beautiful.

The film opens April 20, just in time for Earth Day on the 22. DisneyNature will donate a portion of the first week box office sales of “Chimpanzee” to the Jane Goodall Institute through the See “Chimpanzees,” Save Chimpanzees program.

Any child over 3 years old will probably love this movie. If your child can sit through a Disney animated film then they will love this one.

Questions to ask yourself as you venture to the theater this weekend:

Does my child like the Zoo?

If your answer is yes, then run to the theater.

Can my child sit for a hour?

The movie is only a little over an hour, so if your little one can sit through a hour show at home you are pretty safe.

Does my child scare easily?

If your little one scares easily then I would wait till you get this movie home. It has a few scary parts but nothing violent or gory.

Will my child get it?

The movie is simple and beautiful. The scenery and the filming is exquisite. It is really a sight to be seen! Most children over 5 will understand the whole movie and even 3 and a half year-olds will like the movie. Teacher take kids see this movie and help save the earth as well.
