When you're stuck, as a screenwriter, looking to fill time by resorting to incredibly lame monkey-centric puns like "he's a chimp off the old block", or "we'll have to chimprovise", you know it's time to pack it in. In the grand hierarchy of animated films, if Pixar is king of the primates, then this film is decidedly in the tier of the second (or third or even fourth) bananas. RATING: * 1/2
... described in great detail as an oversimplification. In the preface, Taylor describes his frustration at the misconception that chimps are virtually human. I can understand that; the voices raised on issues such as primates in the anti-vivisection campaign and the Swiss attempt to grant a chimp human rights!

... lost continent myth, it is hardly the only one. Its closest equivalent in the Indian Ocean is Lemuria, the existence of which was proposed in 1864, the name coming from the lemurs, an infraorder of primates native to Madagascar.

..., really irritated me and made me think that maybe this isn't what he says it is, because after all, humans are not rats are not chimpanzees. Emory University is supposed to be a particularly harrowing place for non-human primates and quotes from studies there made me want to throw the book across the room. Egads this was an EPIC failure. (And on amazon.com it has like 4 out of 5 stars! WTF???)

.... Your mouth is moving; Up and down, emitting noise. I've lost interest. The dog wags his tail, Seeking approval. See mine? Different message. My brain: walnut-sized. Yours: largest among primates. Yet, who leaves for work? Most problems can be Ignored. The more difficult Ones can be slept through. My affection is conditional. Don't stand up, It's your lap I love.

...voice. I like to think that so many of the ills that plague human beings are a result of a mass desire to deny our animalnature. We like to forget that we are animals, mammals, primates. It is in the corporate interests to foster this alienation from our animal nature because then we are conditioned to rely on products, consumer goods, and commercial culture for our survival and for our pleasure....
