Oscar, a baby chimpanzee is enjoying his life with his mother in the jungles along the Ivory Coast.

But Oscar struggles, until he is surprisingly adopted by the Alpha Male of his group.
User Reviews :
The wild can be a dangerous place for a chimpanzee. Mostly because tire swings in their natural form are attached to speeding vehicles.
Fortunately, there are no SUVs for the primates in this documentary to be pinned under.
When his mother is killed in a territorial skirmish with a rival tribe lead by the cruel Scar, a young chimp named Oscar must learn to survive on his own.
Lonely and emaciated, Oscar struggles to retain the survival lessons that his mother instilled in him, but to no avail.
Luckily, an unpredictable bachelor in the tribe does something completely unexpected and adopts the orphaned ape as his own.
Narrated by Tim Allen, this Disney nature documentary features fantastic up-close footage of life amongst our relatives, paying particularly close attention to how their empathy apes our own.
However, in cases like this, I always thought that guardianship went to the monkey's uncle.
