“It's delightful... to watch a society of chimpanzees collaborate and interact in ways that are incredibly similar to human beings.”

Journey deep into the African rainforest and meet Oscar, an adorable young chimp with an entertaining approach to life, and a remarkable story of individual triumph and family bonds. The world is a playground for little Oscar and his fellow young chimps who love creating mayhem.

Full of curiosity, a zest for discovery, joy and a love for mimicking others, Oscar – and his family – navigate the complex territory of the forest. It's an inspiring and life-changing adventure, narrated by Tim Allen, that overflows with courage and charm that will capture your heart.
