It's a Disney nature documentary following a troop of macaque monkeys living on Castle Rock in Sri Lanka. Maya is a lowborn female living at the bottom of the social group. With the arrival of the new male Kumar, the alpha male Raja notices and drives out Kumar. Six months later, Kip is born.
Monkeys! Monkeys! More Monkeys! It's great. It's also informative with insights into their social structure. It's hilarious when they steal from people. The most notable difference from other nature documentaries is the narration of Tina Fey and the use of modern music. Tina's got a sarcastic tone which is quite different from the usual British legends, the Attenboroughs. She's American comedy compared to the British high-minded light humor. This is not as scholarly but it's plenty entertaining. The climatic conflict is actually intense. This may be the new era for nature documentaries.
