New Disney Nature Documentary Film: Chimpanzee

In true form, Disneynature is going to amaze us this year just before Earth Day on April 20, 2012, with the release of the new nature documentary Chimpanzee.

Chimpanzee tells the story of Oscar, whose family is attacked by another band of chimps, who finds himself orphaned until an unexpected ally takes him in. The goal of this documentary film is to help us understand this species, which is considered to be exceptionally intelligent.

Chimpanzee was shot over a period of three years in the jungles of the Ivory Coast and Uganda in Africa. It is a joint production of the Disney company and the Jane Goodall Institute who worked together in an effort to support chimpanzees.

As is traditional with the release of the Disneynature movies, Disney will donate will make a donation for every person that sees the film at the movie theatre during opening week.

The Story of Jane Goodall and The Chimpanzee in Book Form

Jane Goodall: 50 Years at Gombe

A book about Jane Goodall's life and her study of the chimpanzee.

Although this new Disneynature film Chimpanzee is not about Jane Goodall but rather produced by Disney and the Jane Goodall Institute, you might still enjoy reading about her life and work. One of Dr. Goodall's most recent books is this one, Jane Goodall's 50 years at Gombe. At the age of 76, she was still spending up to 300 days of the year travelling and sharing information and messages of hope for the chimpanzee. This book is about an amazing woman who dedicated her life to the chimpanzee. It is a history of her work and is accompanied by beautiful photos.
