Chimpanzee

Chimpanzee is a nature documentary from Disneynature that follows a young chimpanzee named Oscar through the rainforests of Africa. Oscar's world is one of play and discovery, as he learns from his mother and the other members of his group. When a rival band of chimpanzees challenges their territory, Oscar is left on his own and must survive without his mother's protection, until an older chimpanzee takes him in.

The film was directed by Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, who had previously made Earth and African Cats together. It sits between those earlier titles and their later collaborations Monkey Kingdom and Elephant. Tim Allen provides the narration. Christophe Boesch, who led the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation, served as principal consultant, and filming took place over three years in Ivory Coast and Uganda.

Made on a budget of about 5 million dollars, the film took roughly 35 million dollars worldwide, a strong return for a documentary of its kind. It runs 78 minutes. On TMDB it holds a rating of 6.9 from around 143 votes, while the critics' score stands at 6.4 from 98 reviews, putting audience and critics broadly in line with each other.
