Overrated and overhyped

Excellent, a Must See

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I first must note special interest: I do not like 'comedies' in which animals are mistreated for the audience's amusement: Jules White & Zion Meyers' DOGVILLE series for MGM fills me with horror. But chimpanzees are human enough and social enough that using them as performers does not disturb me and I have some fond members of the Marquis Chimps on television when I was a child.That being the case, we need to consider how well this short subject -- which has been lovingly and partially reconstructed by the fine folks at Looser Than Loose -- stacks up, and it stacks up poorly. Snooky plays a bindlestiff who rescues a child. But, aside from some chimpanzee-acting-human bits, like playing with a typewriter, this short lacks much in the way of interesting gags. I can't recommend any of the Snooky shorts, but this is one that does not add significantly to the oeuvre.
