Summer is coming and films especially dedicated to family audiences are becoming more frequent on our billboard.
Next week arrives “The kingdom of the monkeys” a French production that has made several million children and adults laugh in their country Do you dare to evolve with Edouard?
The French production "The kingdom of the monkeys" opens in Spain on June 3 and can not come with a better letter of recommendation to our rooms. In his country alone he has already raised almost 14 million euros, what has turned it into a success of the unprecedented gala animation and less considering that its director is novel behind the camera.
The critics have praised his good rhythm, his intelligent humor and the love that locks up the story itself, all this taking into account that it is a risky product and that however it has worked spectacularly well at the box office.
Some place it in the line of the American productions of "The Ice Age" or "The Croods" although surely it has not had the same budget as any of them neither in production nor in promotion, as is usual in European productions .
Jamel Debbuoze He is one of the best known actors and comedians in France and this time It has been who has decided to direct this peculiar story in which with a sense of humor and much tenderness we speak of human evolution from the evolution of Edouard, a somewhat peculiar monkey.
Jamel participated in films well known to the public as "Amelie" or "Asterix and Oberlix: Mission Cleopatra" and for both Jamel received two nominations to César (the most important prize of French cinema) as best actor.
Jamel has premiered with this film in the direction of animation and for this he has chosen the technique of "Motion capture" a filming technique in which the movements of actors, animals ... are recorded and transferred by computer to a digital animation model.
With this technique we have been able to see surplus films known as "The Adventures of Tintin" or in Spanish production "O Apostle" the first feature film that was made in our country using this technique.
"The kingdom of the monkeys" is an adventure that walks between the already human and the still animal and that has great doses of humor, which makes it a very appealing product for children but also for adults, according to the overwhelming success achieved in France since its premiere.
Edouard
He is the protagonist of "The kingdom of the monkeys." This is the eldest son of the king of the monkeys although it is not that he looks much like his father, really.
Edouard is smaller in size, less hairy and one of its limbs seems to be unusable. Yes, it's different, for the rest of the monkeys, Edouard is weird.
And to these oddities we must add his tremendous ingenuity that makes him Discover fire, hunting, love and even hope.
He wants to share these discoveries with the group, with the community in which he lives and what he will achieve is to revolutionize it without proposing it, the established order, that taking into account that his father is the king, well ... the same generates some occasional setback.
Edouard takes his people with great humor and almost without realizing it, to the evolution of the human being, as one who does not want the thing.
All those who have already seen "The kingdom of the monkeys" agree that it is about an interesting and fun movie for both children and adults, which touches an unusual theme with a very lively rhythm that hooks the viewer and a brave approach that at least in France, where it has already been released has received the support of the public that has come to see it in the rooms.
In Spain we will have it available from the day 3 of June.
