Chimpanzee often anthropomorphizes its subjects, but it's a beautifully filmed, remarkably intimate look at the lives of a family of primates.

Words (narration by Tim Allen) and syrupy music let it down but it's still great to watch. May 3, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The final five minutes give location interviews with the hardworking camera crew, and this is the only time when this plasticky film comes alive. May 3, 2013 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Of course, if you're a fan of old-school Disney True-Life Adventure tales like "Joker: The Amiable Ocelot," then you're used to this sort of sanitizing of the world's rougher edges. Apr 20, 2012 | Full Review…

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. Apr 20, 2012 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

I'm fairly certain chimpanzees aren't always as darling-or human-as depicted here, but it's nice to see a G-rated movie for once. Nov 8, 2018 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review…

The House of Mouse have crafted an enjoyable, fun tale that might not be particularly scientific in its methods. Aug 23, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Though the Chucklevision script is clearly targeted at human cubs, the astonishing up-close chimp footage is a wow for all ages, if only us elders were allowed to enjoy it in peace. Sep 5, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's beautifully photographed, whimsically narrated by Tim Allen and keeps completely schtum about the rough sex and the cannibalism. May 10, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
