“It should readily attract long term fans of Jean-Francois Laguionie’s work and those seeking animation with sophisticated substance as well as a distinctive style.” —Screen Daily

After washing up on an unfamiliar beach, the monkey Prince is found by 12-year-old Tom who takes the wounded Prince with him to stay with his parents: two scientists who have been outcast for their radical ideas about the existence of other monkey civilisations. As the old Prince recovers, he becomes consumed with his curiosity about the strange land he had found himself in, and convinces Tom to go into the city.

A stunningly animated film that is both a fantastical adventure and a timely parable about contemporary civilisation, fear of outsiders and environmentalism.

Parental guidance: very mild violence, some scenes that may scare or upset younger viewers
