Amazonia

When was the last time you stumbled upon a thing, so beautiful that it enchanted you at every spell. The movie also shows some of the rarest and most endangered animals, this is a real jungle boy. And if you do not watch this in hd your a fool. I am at a loss to understand, even by 'today's' standards that they could make such a film. Such amazing angles and locations and naturalness. With a beauty that often surpasses words. For example, take time to notice the expressions. The animals faces are stunning and animals are the best actors because they do not act. It will probably be one of the best animal films of all time. You must not go past this one.

Delightful and beautiful. Although sanitised, it is a visually stunning and very sweet look at life in the jungle for one bred-in-captivity little monkey who by fate is suddenly free to be what he was always meant to be.

Tragically, man's greed and gross stupidity is destroying vast areas of the Amazon and this is very good at keeping the viewer in the jungle's glory with subtle overtones of humanity and a stark moment or two of reality.

I would definitely take my kids to see this. Mostly so that they would understand what a treasure our glorious planet is.

A pet monkey is being transported on a small plane. The plane crashes and the money has to survive in the wild Amazon jungle.

Narration can be problematic if done badly. A normal Disney movie would give this monkey a human voice. Without that voice, it's left up to the audience. No matter what, the nature photography with all these animals is compelling enough to keep my attention. It's a different experience.

Very cute, as it has to be when it comes to a movie about children's pets with the aim of producing empathy and awareness in children and in the high places who watch, beautiful images of impeccable photography, cute....

I would have given the movie a perfect score of 10 if there had been no musical score. I felt that it intruded on the otherwise genuine natural sounds of the animals in the Amazon jungle.

I saw it on television so not with the 3D version that was apparently shown in theatres. That must have been quite a treat.

The film is so realistic that one wonders how it was done. It does appear to be a documentary of sorts starring that little expressive monkey. And he never appeared to be acting for the camera.

So congratulations to the film crew that endured rainstorms and God knows what else in the wilds of Amazonia.
