action

Oskar, the chimpanzee boy, grew up in the rainforest of Ivory Coast. In the midst of his clan and protected by his mother, he learns to use tools, look for food and explore his surroundings. In search of the fruit the chimpanzees need to survive, a rival group of chimpanzees around their leader Scar invades the territory of Freddy, the experienced alpha male of Oskar's clan.

An excursion that leads to armed conflicts between the groups. After one of these fights, Oskar's mother is missing. The chimpanzee boy is left to fend for himself overnight, which threatens him with certain death. His only hope: to find a mother monkey who will adopt him. But all mothers with their own young reject him. Without a supplier of food, Oskar becomes noticeably weaker and more desperate, until he receives completely surprising support from a source that no one has seen coming. Freddy takes him under his wing.

Background and production

This section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

The Disneynature film by directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield was shot in Taï National Park in western Ivory Coast . The team around the two directors and producers shot in the West African rainforest in order to observe and film the animals in their natural environment over several years.

Christophe Boesch and his team have been researching the lifestyle and culture of the chimpanzees in this area since 1980 . With his Wild Chimpanzee Foundation, Boesch is also committed to preserving their endangered habitat. The film would not have been possible without the support on site and the scientific know-how of the director of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig . The primatologist and peace ambassador of the United Nations, Jane Goodall advised the producers of "Chimpanzees" and supported the finished film.

Disneynature was founded in April 2008 with the aim of bringing the best nature filmmakers together to bring the diversity of natural life to the screen. Disneynature is continuing the tradition of Walt Disney , who himself was a pioneer of nature films and who produced 13 “True Life Adventures” between 1949 and 1960.
