Disney Nature’s Chimpanzee Movie Review
If you have seen the previews for Disney Nature’s new Chimpanzee movie you were probably touched like I was and intrigued by this movie. I was a little worried when the previews said “some scenes may be too intense for young viewers” so I took my 11 year old son and left my 8 year old at home.
We both thoroughly enjoyed this film, it is touching, heart wrenching and fascinating all at the same time. Tim Allen does an amazing job with the narration and inserts humor when it is needed in the film. The story of the orphaned chimp and his unlikely adopted father is just amazing and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
There are some intense scenes but Disney does a great job not showing anything too graphic. However, (spoiler alert) my son and I did learn that chimps are cannibals which was a little disturbing. There are some deaths in the film but nothing is shown dying so most kids should do fine seeing the film. I love how the movie can appeal to audiences of all ages.
If you do go, be sure and stay through the credits. There were many times during the film I kept asking myself “how on earth did they film THAT!?” if you stay through the credits you will find out how, and it is truly amazing!
So I give Chimpanzee two thumbs up and hope you take some time out to go and see this heart warming film.
If you do go, be sure to comment and let me know what YOU thought!

Rich Ross, The Disney Studios Chairman, Has Stepped Down
Changes are a coming to Disney. Rich Ross has just resigned as the Studio head of Walt Disney Studios. This is a big deal, and I’m very curious to see who will be taking over the studio after this. Ross had some great success on the TV front at Disney for a number of years, but he was never able to pull off the same success as the studio level. No successor was named at this time.
Here’s Ross’ final letter to the studio staff:
For the last 15 years, I have had the opportunity to work with incredibly talented people on behalf of the world’s best loved brand. During that time, we’ve told some amazing stories around the world, created successful TV programming, movies, and franchises that generated new opportunities for the company in the process.
I’ve always said our success is created and driven by our people – whom I consider to be the absolute best in the business. But, the best people need to be in the right jobs, in roles they are passionate about, doing work that leverages the full range of their abilities. It’s one of the leadership lessons I’ve learned during my career, and it’s something I’ve been giving a great deal of thought to as I look at the challenges and opportunities ahead.
I believe in this extraordinary Walt Disney Studios team, and I believe in our strong slate of films and our ability to make and market them better than anyone else. But, I no longer believe the Chairman role is the right professional fit for me. For that reason, I have made the very difficult decision to step down as Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, effective today.
It has been my honor to work with such incredible teams – at Disney Channels Worldwide and The Walt Disney Studios and the many other Disney businesses I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with. I know I leave the Studios in good hands and, even on separate paths, I am confident we are all destined for continued success.
-Rich
Bob Iger also released a statement regarding Ross’ departure:
For more than a decade, Rich Ross’s creative instincts, business acumen and personal integrity have driven results in key businesses for Disney, redefining success in kids and family entertainment and launching franchises that generate value across our entire company. His vision and leadership opened doors for Disney around the world, making our brand part of daily life for millions of people. I appreciate his countless contributions throughout his entire career at Disney, and expect he will have tremendous success in whatever he chooses to do next.
Disney Releases Wreck-It Ralph Poster
Disney has released the first poster for Wreck-It Ralph via MSN. Ralph (John C. Reilly) is an 8-bit video game villain who is tired of losing to his in game nemesis Fix-It Felix (Jack McBrayer). After deciding he no longer wants to be the bad guy, Ralph breaks out of his game to roam around the other games in the arcade to prove he can be the good guy too.
As a fan of the original Nintendo (yes I am old) I love the poster and I am really excited about the movie. Wreck-It Ralph hits theaters November 2, 2012.
