Just watched this with my son and we really enjoyed it.

It is a family, feel good movie that brings a fair amount of heart with it.

It pulls on your heart strings too at times but all in all, it is a happy movie.

The kids will love it.

This is a very sweet story about an ape in captivity who lived for years in a shopping mall performing circus acts and he learns to paint and dreams of freedom where he can roam in the wild. The animals are friends and talk to one another and worry as business goes downhill with declining attendance. They embark on a courageous escape only to realize the wild isn't quite what they imagined. The CGI is well done as it looks realistic and the voice acting is fantastic as well. Overall the story is endearing especially as it's a true story.

Just watched this with my 8 yo girls and they (and I) loved it. Based on a true story of a gorilla that can paint, leaves you with a smile.
