This film is better for children than it is for adults. For adults, the star of the show is the beautiful Sri Lankan countryside more than it is the macaques. That being said, the macaques themselves aren't without their own curious charms, even if the anthropomorphism gets to be a touch much at times.
The plot -- and I use the term loosely -- centres on a female macaque who becomes a mother for the first time and has to overcome hardship and marginalisation to come out on top. This being a Disney production, of course she manages to do so and the good guys prevail in the end. It's all rather incredulous at times, but it's nicely done, particularly for a younger audience. In the end, this film proves itself to be a good choice for you and your monkeys to watch at home.
