Disney Nature’s Chimpanzee will premiere in theaters Earth Day, April 20th 2012. If you go to see the movie opening week Disney Nature will make a donation to the Jane Goodall Institute. So you can see Chimpanzee and maybe save a chimpanzee.

Here’s a short Chimpanzee featurette with more details.

If you’re not familiar with this new film from Disney Nature, here’s what I know about it:

Oscar the Chimpanzee is born into a large loving family. He’s the normal curious playful chimp, but when he’s about 3 years old something goes terribly wrong, and he finds himself fending for himself, alone without his family. Another chimp finds him, adopts him and raises him as its own. Chimpanzee is a true story, and it’s the first time something like this has been documented on film.
