Survival is an instinct.

I know, I know, what’s a Disney film doing here. Well, it’s worthy I think.
The story is about a large gorilla (mighty), called Joe who has been befriended by Jill Young, played by the lovely Charlize Theron.
The gorilla’s mother is killed as is Therons mother by poachers. The baby is brought up with Jill and they are ‘friends’. 12 years on, enter Gregg O'Hara(Bill Paxton) a conservationist drawn by the legend of the ‘Guardian’. Persuasion leads Joe and Jill to be taken to America to be ‘safe’. Strangely enough, the poachers from 12 years previous appear and the film takes a ‘king kong’ turn!
This movie will be lots of fun for kids and the younger at heart,a typical Disney story with good acting and special effects. GY
