Oscar is a feisty, funny and adorable young chimpanzee. His high-energy spirit and sense of adventure shine as he plays with his little friends and learns the ways of the world under the watchful eye of mom Isha.

Isha is Oscar's loving mother and sole caretaker. “The bond between the two of them is immediately tangible,” says director Mark Linfield, “and the level of nurturing Isha shows is incredibly touching.”

Freddy is the powerful and highly respected leader of Oscar’s chimpanzee family. He is in charge of keeping everyone safe and knows just where to go to find breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Scar heads up a rival chimpanzee group that always seems to be lingering on the edge of Freddy’s turf. They’d love to get their hands on the tasty nuts that grow in Oscar’s neighborhood and their constant presence keeps Freddy on his toes.
