Disneynature's CHIMPANZEE Exclusive Featurette

In my home, we are huge fans of monkeys of all kinds. We have stuffed monkeys galore, and both of my toddlers have a huge assortment of monkey themed clothing and accessories.  My 2 year old daughter is especially fond of her primate friends. As a matter of fact, one of her very first words was chimpanzee. Of course since she was only a year old at the time, it came out more like "Chi-Patsy". 

That's why I was so thrilled when the awesome folks at Disney sent me info about Disneynature's newest feature, "Chimpanzee". This awesome film hits theaters on Earth Day, April 20,2012. I know it will be a must-see for my family, since the film follows Oscar, a playful young chimp, in this True adventure. My kids will go bananas!

Below you'll find a synopsis of the film as well as an exclusive featurette, straight from my wonderful pals at Disney! Yep, being a blogger has it's perks, and I love being able to share them with you! Take a look!

Synopsis:
Disneynature takes moviegoers deep into the forests of Africa with “Chimpanzee,” a new True-Life Adventure 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.
