Unfortunately, this event happens very late in the movie and the focus on it is not that extensive. This is Disney’s serendipitous injection of joy and hope into the film and it works wonders. However, mid-way through the shoot Oscar’s mother sadly died and the filmmakers recorded something miraculous happens – his adoption by the alpha-male of the group. The story of the chimpanzee protagonist, Oscar, was supposed to follow his early life with his mother and nothing much more. Showing a story unravel, and having characters and a “plot” to follow will inevitably make this easier for the little ‘uns it promotes the basics of story-telling and simplistic ethics – “acts of evil and good appear like this, or like this”. As well as this, they also introduce a narrative not-so-dissimilar to their animal-led classics such as The Lion King, The Fox and the Hound and The Jungle Book, with villains roaming and danger lurking.
In response to this Disney have created a new independent film label – Disneynature – to show the twee aspects of animal life, as well as some of the perils.īeing a Disney product, Chimpanzee is decorated with many darling elements, such as bouncy music, funny recordings of animals falling or hitting one another, and scenes of tenderness.
Whilst David Attenborough’s seminal series of wildlife documentaries are not to be missed, they are not always toddler-friendly. Introducing children to the natural world may be a daunting prospect for a parent – it’s full of copious mating, fights to the death, and often nightmarish imagery.
