Monkey Kingdom 2015, which is a documentary film about the animal world, revolves around a pair of monkey mother. They must struggle to survive in a world full of danger. Besides, a colony of monkeys, which are living in the ancient ruin, are found in South Asian forest.
The animal antics, shot primarily in Sri Lanka, are splendidly photographed and frequently charming, but it's hard not to notice how desperately the movie tries to anthropomorphize the characters.

You're likely to laugh and learn in equal measure-and so will your little ones.
Disney knows animals, animated and otherwise, and they prove it again with Monkey Kingdom, the company's eighth in its annual series of Earth Day-related films and the best one yet.
Simplistic, but a charming and child-friendly introduction to our cousins in the wild that no zoo could provide, with a monkey heroine whom kids will cheer.
It's this up-close-and-personal photography style that makes Monkey Kingdom and the other Disneynature films so effective. It's impossible to watch the results without constantly contemplating the process it took to get the footage.
Fey's combination of deadpan delivery, comic timing and deep sympathy for all things goofy keeps the narrative part of the film swinging from scene to scene in nimble fashion, but it's the monkeys who rule this kingdom.
"Monkey Kingdom" clocks in at a very digestible 82 minutes and doesn't overstay its welcome. It doesn't monkey around - that's left to the film's subjects, who are more than happy to oblige.
The story of the colony's exile and return feels like a dull sermon, but the animals themselves, with their expressive faces and Moe Howard hairdos, can switch from slapstick to pathos faster than Charlie Chaplin.
