Sex & Nudity

  • No sex and nudity, just some mild romance. On some chimps, their buttocks can be seen. This is a family-oriented movie anyway.

Violence & Gore

  • A woman watches as several chimpanzees fight each other. A chimp uses a branch to hit an another chimp.
  • A man tells about a chimp, who was beaten up if it didn't win motorbiking, and that it's teeth were pulled out so it shouldn't fight back.
  • There are talking about cancer, and that a man's chimps are chosen to be test subjects for radiation for such disease.
  • A woman briefly mentions having seen several chimps being eaten by leopards.
  • A man and a woman argue with each other. No violence involved.
  • A chimp is attacked and bitten by a leopard. We don't see much, but we later see the chimp injured with some blood visible.
  • A man gives his blood to the attacked chimp, so it can survive.

Profanity

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • One of the themes of this film is poaching. The scenes with several people attempting to hunt down chimpanzees may upset some animal lovers, but the amount of humor should lessen the dramatic matter. This made-for-TV movie is basically a family-oriented film.
