Ever since I was a little girl I wanted a monkey. As a matter of fact every little boy and girl I have ever known at one time wanted a monkey. How could you not? They are simply adorable. My mom, as I recall, always told me I couldn’t have one because they were illegal to own. Well, Disneynature, the studio that brought you Chimpanzee and Bears will release Monkey Kingdom on September 15th and now you can own it on DVD, Digital HD, and Blu-Ray. Set in the jungles of South Asia this film focuses Maya, a momma monkey you are bound to fall in love with. Her story of perseverance as she struggles to raise her son Kip in the jungle as a low ranking female in her troop is heartwarming. For any child that ever wished for a monkey, this is the movie for them!

ABOUT DISNEYNATURE:
Disneynature was launched in April 2008. Its mission is to bring the world’s top nature filmmakers together to share a wide variety of wildlife stories on the big screen in order to engage, inspire and educate theatrical audiences everywhere. Walt Disney was a pioneer in wildlife filmmaking, producing 13 True-Life Adventure motion pictures between 1948 and 1960, which earned eight Academy Awards®. The first five Disneynature films, “Earth,” “Oceans,” “African Cats,” “Chimpanzee,” and “Bears” are five of the top six highest overall grossing feature-length nature films to date, with “Chimpanzee” garnering a record-breaking opening weekend for the genre. Disneynature’s commitment to conservation is a key pillar of the label and the films empower the audience to help make a difference. Through donations tied to opening-week attendance and first week of in-home sales for all five films, Disneynature, through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, has planted three million trees in Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, established 40,000 acres of marine protected area in The Bahamas, protected 65,000 acres of savanna in Kenya, protected nearly 130,000 acres of wild chimpanzee habitat, cared for chimpanzees, educated 60,000 school children about chimpanzee conservation and funded research and restoration grants in U.S. National Parks, supporting conservation projects across 400,00 acres of U.S. National Parkland and protecting endangered species.
