Chimpanzee

CHIMPANZEE (2012) - May 10, 2012
There's something inherently fascinating about chimps -- they're just so much like us, I guess.  This was a well made documentary about a group of chimps living in the jungle, focusing specifically on one baby chimp (who is pretty much absurdly adorable).  Some pretty dramatic stuff happens to the chimp, much to the delight of the documentarians, I'm sure.  It's actually a pretty engaging story, even if the attemps to make this as kid-friendly as possible are a little bit jarring (including a mostly superfluous narration track by Tim Allen).  ***
