Favorite Disney Movie / Monkey Kingdom
Some might even never heard that Disney has made a movie called “Monkey Kingdom” 🙉
Whoever into Disney nature documentaries might have seen this but, It’s still not that popular type. Yet I selected this as my "Favorite Disney Movie" for many reasons.
The movie released on 2015 April on Earth day. It is about group of monkeys living in ancient ruins founded in the jungles in Sri Lanka. Not a big deal right? 😕 they always do live in the jungle.
Have you ever thought that monkeys are so connected to us humans? In fact, we share same ancestor from which both evolved around 25 million years ago! A study conducted on 2007 showed that 93% of their DNA is similar to humans. We think we know about them pretty well, aren’t we? Guess what at the end of the film you will wonder how much we didn’t know.

The movie has toque macaque monkeys (rilawa, රිලවා) acting superbly! Disney might have make lot of profit out of this.. banana would have been what they had been paid off. This is one of the reasons I loved it, first I couldn’t imagine how much time they have put to make this film, and the research they have done. Wait for the credits at the end of the movie.
“'Monkey Kingdom' was filmed over the course of three years, during which time the director says they shot more than 1,000 camera days and amassed nearly a petabyte of data.”

It's also informative with insights into their social structure, they have very rigid social order bound by a caste system. Film represent a fig tree (mulberry family) to discuss about this social order. Alpha male (Raja) along with his three queens (The Sisterhood) controls this tree. There is a low-born Maya a mother loves her kid no matter what happens. Can she ever ascend to the top of the tree? This is about Maya’s story.
The story consists with Love, Breakups, Heartbreaks, joy, suspension, fights and all the features you look for. This is a movie to remember, and you will see the world different when you watch such films. Because at the end you have gain so much knowledge about how another species struggle to live in this world!
Thanks for reading, make sure to watch Monkey Kingdom 👍
The End! 🐒

Está increíble! Soy uno de esos que no se ha visto la película, ahora tengo la obligación de verla!
La cantidad de información plasmada puede ser abismal, más que nada por el arduo trabajo que conlleva realizar una película donde todo sucede de manera natural y no tienes tiempo para decidir mas allá de donde colocar la cámara para grabar la espectacular vida de estos mamíferos!
De verdad me gustó mucho tu entrada! <3
Gracias por participar,
Jacorv🔺Exactly! That's what amazed me also, producing such would be an extreme task. I'm glad that you liked it 💓
