Editorial Reviews

Why do monkeys always monkey around? And are their families even wilder than yours? Spin wants to know! National Geographic's animated globe-on-the-go looks up some of his favorite critters in a worldwide tour of animal families. Turns out that most primates - from baboons to bushbabies - like to hang out with their friends and relatives. They aren't the only ones! Spin also checks out a bunch of different types of animal families such as elephants, octopuses, ostriches, and bullfrogs. Fabulous footage and swinging music videos will drive you straight up the family tree! Join Spin for MONKEY BUSINESS AND OTHER FAMILY FUN. It's just one of the many Really Wild Animals adventures in this award-winning series.

This review is from: National Geographic's Really Wild Animals: Monkey Business and Other Family [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My 3-year old young son loves monkeys, so I thought this would be good. We've only watched it one time. The problem is that it is too fast paced. Rather than showing video of monkeys in their habitat and observing their behavior, it switches from shot to shot too fast, while trying to be funny. You never see monkeys behaving like monkeys. It almost makes me dizzy watching it. It might be better for older kids.
