“SEE ‘CHIMPANZEE,’ SAVE CHIMPANZEES” PROGRAM EXTENDED

Swinging into theaters April 20 with a $10.6 million opening-weekend performance, “Chimpanzee”
proved so popular among audiences that Disneynature is extending the “See ‘Chimpanzee,’ Save Chimpanzees” conservation initiative for a second week. For every moviegoer who sees
“Chimpanzee” through May 3, 2012, Disneynature will make a donation to the Jane Goodall
Institute (JGI) through the Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund to protect chimpanzees today
and tomorrow. “See ‘Chimpanzee,’ Save Chimpanzees”—initially slated for the film’s opening
week through April 26—will continue through the film’s second week till May 3—a first-ever
extension to a Disneynature conservation program.


ABOUT THE MOVIE
Disneynature takes moviegoers deep into the forests of Africa with “Chimpanzee,” a new True
Life Adventure introducing an adorable young chimpanzee named Oscar and his entertaining
approach to life in a remarkable story of family bonds and individual triumph. Oscar’s playful
curiosity and zest for discovery showcase the intelligence and ingenuity of some of the most
extraordinary personalities in the animal kingdom. Working together, Oscar’s chimpanzee family—
including his mom, Isha, and the group’s savvy leader, Freddy — navigates the complex territory
of the forest. The world is a playground for little Oscar and his fellow young chimpanzees, who’d
rather make mayhem than join their parents for an afternoon nap. But when Oscar’s family is
confronted by a rival band of chimpanzees, he is left to fend for himself until a surprising ally
steps in and changes his life forever. Directed by Alastair Fothergill (“African Cats” and “Earth”)
and Mark Linfield (“Earth”), and narrated by Tim Allen (Disney•Pixar’s “Toy Story 3,” ABC’s “Last
Man Standing”), “Chimpanzee” is in theaters now.
