Walt Disney had love and a deep respect for nature, as evidenced by the animal movies I loved to watch on TV on The Wonderful World of Disney in the 1960s and 70s. In 2008 Disneynature was launched to create new movies to educate, inspire and support conservation efforts.
Monkey Kingdom is the latest release in the series. Once again, I am amazed at the skill of the production crew and their ability to get close enough to document the story of the animals. It’s magical!
The movie almost feels as if it were all planned and scripted ahead of time, but these are animals who were filmed naturally. The relationships, struggles and joys they experience are amazing.
Tina Fey does a fantastic job narrating this true life adventure.The movie is rated G and great for adults and children.
