Chimpanzee: Film Review - The Hollywood Reporter

 

 Chimpanzee is a 2012 nature documentary film about a young chimpanzee named Oscar who finds himself alone in the African forests until he is adopted by another chimpanzee who takes him in and raises him like his own child.



The U.S. release of the film is narrated by Tim Allen.

 

Production

The film took over four years to create, due to the difficulties of filming in Taï National Park during the wet season and capturing usable footage of common chimpanzees, a species that is known to act reclusive to human activity.
Although studies suggest that chimpanzees are capable of committing acts of altruism, Oscar's adoption is the first instance of such an action by the species to be documented on film.
