I am SO excited to share with you all a new DisneyNature film that will hit theaters next month on April 17th. Monkey Kingdom follows the adventures of Maya, a clever and resourceful blonde-bobbed monkey through the ancient ruins in the storied jungles of South Asia.
About Monkey Kingdom
Maya’s world is forever changed when she welcomes her son, Kip, into her complicated extended family. Like all families, Maya’s has more than its share of colorful personalities—and she’s determined to give her son a leg up in the world. When their longtime home at Castle Rock is taken over by powerful neighboring monkeys, Maya’s whole family retreats, and she uses her street smarts and ingenuity to uncover untapped resources amidst strange new creatures and unsettling surroundings. Ultimately, they will all have to work together to reclaim Castle Rock, where Maya can hopefully realize her dreams for her son’s future.
Featuring a rich variety of characters, including a mischievous mongoose, simple-minded langur monkeys, predatory leopards and monitor lizards, “Monkey Kingdom” is narrated by Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), directed by Mark Linfield (“Chimpanzee,” “Earth”) and co-directed by Alastair Fothergill (“Chimpanzee,” “Bears”). With music from award-winning composer Harry Gregson-Williams (“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “Shrek” movies), Disneynature’s eighth True Life Adventure—the follow-up to 2014’s “Bears”—swings into theaters April 17, 2015.
I look forward to the DisneyNature films each year. They are incredible and being able to get up close and that personal with these exotic animals is truly amazing. I haven’t announced it yet but next month I will be attending the premiere of Monkey Kingdom at Disney World. I will be bringing you more details on this amazing adventure very soon, but in the meantime I have some fun Monkey Kingdom Printables for you to share with your family.
