★★★★★ · Very motivational. · salvacms · 2013-07-08

After being around this profession for few years, I found this video quite motivational. Funny reactions of chimps reminds me of how we do feel in crazy situations. Haven't anyone felt like the chimp on the moviola after watching impossible-to-edit takes? Haven't any sound engineer felt the same after several hours of shooting and reshooting same scene? In few words: if you feel down, watch this!

As written below: "a silly and humorous look at the film-making industry with a cast of monkeys. Not really meant to be taken seriously" Yes, indeedy!

This film could have easily gotten a 4 or even a five from me, the premise was thier (a bunch of monkeys working in the film industry) but it's brought down by one main factor: thier are large gaps of time between the different scenes.This is unacceptable, and I'm surprised know one at the studio where this was produced did anything about it. Still you can't go wrong with monkys it's an intresting premise but not very well executed.

★★★ · Very Cute! · Spuzz · 2002-12-04

This is a silly and humorous look at the film-making industry with a cast of monkeys. Not really meant to be taken seriously, this is a interesting look into 70's filmmaking.

★★★ · Hooray for chimps! · Venckman · 2005-07-05

Not terribly amusing look at film making that gets a boost from an adorable cast of chimps and some great old office furniture.
