Chimpanzee is a 2012 nature documentary film about a young common chimpanzee named Oscar who finds himself alone in the African forests until he is adopted by another chimpanzee, who takes him in and treats him like his own child.[3][4] The American release of the film is narrated by Tim Allen.

In Ta National Park in Ivory Coast, Oscar is a young chimpanzee in his toddler years and is part of a close-knit tribe of chimpanzees who occupy a forest territory which is rich in native fruits, nuts, and figs. The chimpanzees hunt small tree monkeys, and they also eat termites collected with primitive tools made from sticks. They also use rocks as tools to crack nuts. Oscar is tended by his mother, Isha, and from her he begins learning many things about how to survive in the jungle. In the chaos of an attack by a rival gang of chimpanzees led by Scar, Isha is injured and separated from the group and her son. As told by the narrator, Isha most probably falls victim to a nocturnal leopard.

Unaware of his mother's death, Oscar spends much of his time looking for her. He has trouble recalling the things she taught him and loses weight quickly. He attempts to find another mother to take care of him. However, none of the females in the group can afford to help him, already having young of their own to raise. As time goes on, Oscar is rejected by all the chimpanzees in the group, until the only one left to approach is the tough-skinned alpha male, Freddy. As Oscar follows Freddy and imitates him, it is soon revealed that this unlikely pairing may work out. The two gradually warm up to each other more and more, until one day Freddy lets Oscar ride on his back, something normally only mother chimpanzees do.

As the rivals prepare for attack, Freddy is forced to take time away from Oscar to organize the other members of the group, and this leaves the young chimpanzee confused. Scar leads a vicious attack, but because of the unity of Freddy's group, they are driven away into the jungle. A few months later, it is revealed that the bond between Freddy and Oscar has continued to grow, and that life in the group is slowly returning to normal.

The film took over four years to create, due to the difficulties of filming in Ta National Park during the wet season and capturing usable footage of common chimpanzees, a species that is known to act reclusive to human activity.[6]

Similar to past Disneynature releases, a portion of the film's opening week proceeds were donated to the Jane Goodall Institute for the "See Chimpanzee, Save Chimpanzees" program to help protect chimpanzees and their habitats. Disney donated $0.20 of every ticket sold, with $100,000 being the bare minimum.[11] After the film's successful debut, Disney extended the campaign into the second weekend.[12]

Chimpanzee opens on Friday, April 20, 2012. See Chimpanzee during opening week (April 20-26) and a donation will be made in your honor to the Jane Goodall Institute to help protect chimpanzees.

Here's the deal: Chimpanzee was my first Disneynature film. I had no expectations, but I was a little concerned that I might find the the whole thing boring. I enjoy animals and nature -- to a degree -- but sitting for 79 minutes watching chimpanzees with narration by Tim Allen was something I could take or leave. Surprisingly, the film impressed!

Visually, the cinematography captures you right away. Even the most mundane events -- raindrops falling, ants moving and spiders spinning a web -- are enhanced so beautifully that you can't look away. And then there's Oscar -- an adorable little chimp that you will instantly fall for. Before you know it, you're invested in this little film and the fate of Oscar and the other chimpanzees.

What I loved most about Chimpanzee was a peek into a world so unfamiliar to me. The movie was filmed over the course of 3  years, deep in the forests of Africa. It's a world rarely seen by humans, and the filmmakers were able to capture events in the wild that haven't been witnessed before -- even by Dr. Jane Goodall, who has been working with chimpanzees for over 30 years! When you watch Chimpanzee, you are reminded how close in behavior chimpanzees are to humans. With 99% identical DNA, chimpanzees have personalities just like us, which comes across on the screen and makes the movie so fascinating.

To tell you a little of what this film is about, it is the story of a very curious 3 year old chimp who gets adopted by the alpha male in the group, which is actually quite rare and unexpected. The filming takes place in the deep forests of Africa, and it is absolutely breathtaking. The movie begins by showcasing the relationship between a mother chimpanzee, Isha, and her baby, Oscar. The movie is narrated by Tim Allen, which definitely adds a few laughs.

Oscar is left without his mother and has weeks of trying to fend for himself. None of the other chimpanzees will help feed him or take care of him. My heart was just breaking for the little guy, and almost wished the filming crew would step up and help Oscar out. Sometimes nature must be left alone though. Oscar was getting quite thin and I feared for what might happen to him. The fate of a young chimpanzee without his mother was not typically a good outcome. The most extraordinary thing happens in these deep forests of Africa.

Look into the eyes of the chimpanzee in the photo above. Does he warm your heart? If not than wait till you hear his story. It is pretty amazing. Even the great Jane Goodall seemed stunned by the events of Chimpanzee.

Kids will learn about how chimpanzee social groups work and how they live communally and band together to hunt, gather, and defend their territory. Children will see how an orphaned chimp is at the mercy of the other females in his clan: If Oscar can't find someone to help feed him and teach him about life in the forest, he'll die. Kids will also learn that it's unusual for an alpha male to make a "maternal" connection with a defenseless member of his group.

The message here is about how orphans need love and how an unlikely animal steps up to save an orphan from certain death. The unique relationship teaches us about how, even in the animal kingdom, a child doesn't have to be left behind just because its biological mother is gone. That said, unlike other nature documentaries, there's no call to action or conservation in Chimpanzee (although some proceeds will support the Jane Goodall Institute); it's more of a glimpse at the life of chimpanzees and how they must protect their own territories and natural resources in order to survive.

Some children will be upset by the scenes of suspense and peril during the various confrontations between the two chimpanzee groups. Scar and his much larger and stronger family attack Freddie, but the violence is edited quickly, so you can't really tell what's going on or which chimpanzees are injured. But the narration explains that Oscar's mother is hurt and can't get off the forest floor. Then, during a frighteningly loud thunderstorm, a leopard is shown, yells are heard, and the narration says that Oscar's mother "will never return." Her death is then referenced several times. The chimps also plan and execute a successful monkey hunt, but audiences don't see the dead animal.

Parents need to know that Chimpanzee is a beautifully filmed, African-set nature documentary about how a chimpanzee community must defend its territory to survive. The central "character" in the story is a baby chimp named Oscar, and some children will be disturbed when a confrontation with a rival chimp clan leaves him orphaned (his mother's death is referenced several times), lonely, and desperate for affection. The violence is edited so quickly that younger viewers aren't likely to pick up on anything bloody happening, but the narrator does say when animals are killed -- including a Colobus monkey the chimpanzees hunt together. Kids interested in animals will learn about the way chimpanzees live and interact, as well as witnessing a unique relationship between a juvenile and alpha male chimp.

Veteran nature documentarian Alastair Fothergill follows a CHIMPANZEE community in this nature film narrated by comic actor Tim Allen. The first half of the documentary focuses on the everyday life of the African chimpanzees led by alpha male Freddie. The newest member of Freddie's group is an infant named Oscar. After getting a taste for how the chimpanzees eat, hunt, sleep, and play, "dramatic tension" is introduced in the form of a rival chimpanzee group with a menacing elder alpha named Scar. When Scar's chimps engage Freddie's in a vicious fight for territory and food resources, Oscar's mother is injured and eventually dies. Alone and frightened, baby Oscar must be taken in by another caretaker or face certain death. After he's rejected by all of the other females in the clan, Oscar finds an unlikely foster parent in Freddie, who claims Oscar as his own.

Nature documentaries are almost always visually dazzling, and Chimpanzee is no exception. Fothergill's team (as viewers learn in the end credits) endured all manner of inconveniences and injuries to capture these intimate shots of the chimpanzees and their surroundings. Whether it's a close-up of the chimps lazily grooming each other, an action sequence of them executing a Colobus monkey hunt, or just a sweeping pan of the entire forest landscape, the camera work is precise and evocative of a world that most of us will never see in person.

Where Chimpanzee falters is its narration. While Allen's joke-filled monologue will please some viewers, those who prefer less made-up animal "dialogue" and more straightforward, observational narration will find Allen a tad gimmicky. His narration doesn't just explain what's happening -- it inserts conversations and thoughts like "What an idiot" that are a bit over the top and unnecessary. Ultimately, not much "happens" in Chimpanzee, but it's still an amazing look at the rare bond between an alpha male and his youngest kin. It's delightful, if at times heartbreaking, to watch a society of chimpanzees collaborate and interact in ways that are incredibly similar to human beings. be457b7860
