Review For Chimpanzee
Those hungering for rare footage of our cousins playing and foraging, fighting or fleeing are in for a number of treats. Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post Walt Disney himself couldn't have scripted "Chimpanzee" any better. Rafer Guzman-Newsday Resurrects some of the worst traits of the studio's True-Life Adventures series of the 1950s, '60s and '70s, dubiously shaping some amazing footage with cornball narration that relentlessly anthropomorphizes its simian subjects. Lou Lumenick-New York Post It's really a wonder of nature, a reminder of how we are bound to other species and how valuable and special and downright magical their lives are. It may be a bit corny at times, but it's also downright enlightening. Tom Long-Detroit News One wonders whether more than a few viewers won't want to take home a baby chimp after seeing the film. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post We don't see footage of different chimps and have to pretend it's the same; this is one fellow, from one clan, trying to survive. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger Disney finally found a voice for this series, and they did it by going back to what made them successful in the first place. James Plath-Movie Metropolis For some reason, Disney thought it would be a brilliant idea to have overrated and "shoot me in my face" irritating actor/comedian Tim Allen to talk over the ape action. What a horrible idea! Austin Kennedy-Sin Magazine We get a dumbed-down narration (by Tim Allen) that telegraphs what the audience should be feeling at every second. Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune Has the makings of a great nature documentary … If only Allen didn't keep elbowing us in the ribs to make sure that we get it. Steven D. Greydanus-Decent Films Guide Little Oscar's life is by definition eventful, as each day holds risk, from predators and weather and scarcity of food. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters Many of the images speak for themselves, to the extent that with a little more creative editing and narrative restraint Chimpanzee could work as a silent film. Michelle Orange-Movieline Don't be fooled: The humans are the only ones mugging here. Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle The chimp is adorable and the movie is just okay. It needed something to make it special and not just good. Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com While Tim Allen grates a bit, kids will probably be all stoked to hear Buzz Lightyear talking about chimps. Bob Grimm-Tucson Weekly A pleasant family entertainer sure to stimulate young minds into learning more about the world's wildlife. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com Combines breathtaking wildlife footage with silly, self-conscious voiceover narration aimed at preschoolers. Miles Howard-Boston Phoenix Heart-warming and family-friendly, marred only by the banal, cloyingly cute narration which anthropomorphizes the primates. Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate [VIDEO] The true story of Oscar, an abandoned infant chimpanzee left to fend for himself in Africa's jungle wilderness, is at the heart of this stunning documentary. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com Technically speaking, the film is breathtaking -- made up of crisp and clear long shots, intimate peeks inside the rainforest, and a wealth of consistently used time-lapse footage that is jaw-dropping. Kate Erbland-Film School Rejects Two opposable thumbs up. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune touching, exhilarating, and enlightening in unexpected ways Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews Easily the most cohesive release from DisneyNature. It's also comfortable being a smaller movie, keeping to the limited range of the rainforest where the chimpanzees live. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures You'd have to be Attila the Hun not to think this little guy is worth watching. Jeanne Kaplan-Kaplan vs. Kaplan Unfortunately, the directors missed an opportunity to bring attention to the fact that the chimpanzee population has been reduced by some 80 per cent.
