Do your kids like movies with animal stars? Of course!
Gibby is a family friendly inspirational movie that has broad appeal. With the Summer Olympics happening in Rio, more kids will be excited about gymnastics and sports in general. The characters in the film and the basic story are easy for kids to relate to, even if they’ve never been asked to literally babysit for a monkey.
When I was a kid, I wanted to have a pet monkey just like I had seen in Disney movies and on TV on BJ and The Bear. I know I would have loved taking care of Gibby.
Check out the video below to see how cute this monkey is!
