The explotation of these animals is abhorrent. I am an animal lover so my opinion and beliefs say to keep these intelligent animals in a better environment - one that is more natural than a woman's compound. I do appreciate her commitment and love of these beasts, however, it is just so depressing to see how they live and now exploited by a "reality" series. This is not reality for the primates, it is simply wrong.

MAX as the presentation platform, might need to reconsider these tasteless shows and seek better quality options for the viewers.

No one needs to see primates in this atmosphere as we all know, many who view this type of program tend to believe it is OK to trap wild animals and treat them in ways that are not innate in the wild world.

The only two positive things(and there are no disclaimers by the producers) are: it shows how twisted people can be and how they distort animal care and preservation. It also so how low "reality shows" have debased the viewers by creating programs that continually dumb down content.

Granted, there was a lot of attention to physical detail on the sets, but the script was not what held true to the spirit of the tale. Mr. Dahl is a personal favorite of mine and while his tales all have some darkness to them( as the grimm tales).

This script for my taste, seemed to really try to be more "this century" and adapted many things to cause more intrigue that needed. I am not sure why all movies today must be written with this type of spin. The lessons are there anyway and if we must always have them handled in the same way puts a cookie cutter stamp on the whole thing. While some was original and was very nice, the whole sentiment was just not as dazzling for me. Just my opinion.
