FREE Disneynature Monkey Kingdom Family Activity Packet
The squee’s have officially started in our house! It is getting close to Earth Day, which means that Disneynature has a new super adorable documentary coming out. We have watched them all and followed them all through the free lessons provided on their site. You can find all of the lessons here. Of course, my children now want a pet monkey LOL. I showed them a picture of a 2 hour old hippo yesterday and they wanted a pet hippo. When I told them is was not only dangerous, but illegal to own an animal like that; my youngest daughter said “but we’ll give it back before it gets too big”. This child was serious about having a hippo! I hope you, too, take the opportunity to share this experience with your children and help develop a love for all living things in them <3 Be sure to watch the trailer below with your children; you’ll be so glad you did!
From Disney:
Life is an adventure for Maya, the clever and resourceful blonde-bobbed monkey in “Monkey Kingdom,” Disneynature’s new feature film set among ancient ruins in the storied jungles of South Asia. 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.
Set in the storied jungles of South Asia, “Monkey Kingdom” showcases the adventures of new mom Maya, a clever and resourceful blonde-bobbed monkey who’s determined to give her son a leg up in the world.
For every ticket sold opening week (April 17-23, 2015), Disneynature will make a donation to Conservation International to help protect monkeys and other endangered species in their natural habitats.
