This option offers the littlest of monkeys a chance to swing, zip, and climb in the air at their own aerial adventure park. While their brothers and sisters enjoy the bigger course, 4-7-year-olds can enjoy their own adventure, including lily hops, vine crossings, balance beams, and much more! Parents should not/cannot get geared up and join them; only offer to walk beside them as they take on four ziplines and nineteen awesome aerial challenges. Parental supervision is required.

Dr. Barnaby Fulton, an absent-minded research chemist for the Oxly chemical company, is trying to develop an elixir of youth. He is urged on by his commercially minded boss, Oliver Oxly. One of Barnaby's chimpanzees, Esther, gets loose in the laboratory, mixes a beaker of chemicals, and pours the mix into the water cooler. The chemicals have the rejuvenating effect Barnaby is seeking.

Unaware of Esther's antics, Barnaby tests his latest experimental concoction on himself and washes it down with water from the cooler. He soon begins to act like a 20-year-old and spends the day out on the town with his boss's secretary, Lois Laurel. When Barnaby's wife, Edwina, learns that the elixir "works", she drinks some along with water from the cooler and turns into a prank-pulling schoolgirl.

Edwina makes an impetuous phone call to her old flame, the family lawyer, Hank Entwhistle. Her mother, who knows nothing of the elixir, believes that Edwina is truly unhappy in her marriage and wants a divorce. Barnaby and Edwina go to the laboratory the next morning to destroy the elixir. They unwittingly consume the elixir by using the contaminated water cooler to make coffee. Oxly and the board try to buy the formula from Barnaby, while he is under influence of the elixir.

Barnaby befriends a group of children playing as make-believe "Indians" (Native Americans). They capture and "scalp" Hank (giving him a Mohawk hairstyle), later fleeing when police show up. Meanwhile, Edwina lies down to sleep off the formula. While Edwina sleeps, a woman leaves her baby with the Fultons' housekeeper as she needs an emergency babysitter. When Edwina awakens, a naked baby is next to her and Barnaby's clothes are nearby. She mistakenly presumes he has taken too much formula and regressed to a baby. She takes the child to Oxly to resolve the problem. Together, the two attempt to find an antidote and when the baby grows sleepy, Edwina tries to put him to sleep in the hopes of reversing the effects.

More and more scientists (and Mr. Oxly) drink the water at the laboratory and revert to a second childhood. The formula is lost with the last of the water poured away. As the water is poured away, Barnaby crawls into the laboratory through the window and lies down to sleep next to the baby. Edwina later discovers him and realizes her mistake with the baby.

Hawks said he did not think the film's premise was believable, and as a result thought the film was not as funny as it could have been. Peter Bogdanovich has noted that the scenes with Cary Grant and Marilyn Monroe work especially well and laments that Monroe was not the lead actress instead of Ginger Rogers. However, Gregory Lamb of The Christian Science Monitor described Rogers as "a comedienne par excellence" in the film.[4]

Jay Carmody of the Washington Evening Star gave the film a lukewarm review, stating, "Dreary business is what it really is. Farce writing can be a treacherous trade...and not even the insurance represented by Miss Rogers, Grant, and Marilyn Monroe can provide adequate protection in cases like Monkey Business...Miss Rogers and Grant, a pair of gifted farceurs, earn a kind of grudging admiration for giving such a courageous try at such unrewarding material as 'Monkey Business' provides them...In the presence of such silky performers as the picture's veterans, [Monroe's] acting has apparently climbed no higher than one degree above zero but no one will care."[5]

It's such a nice feeling to be surprised by movies. That's why I keep my cynicism buried underneath a giant pile of ridiculous and unwarranted optimism; that way every bad movie is a mild disappointment and every good one is delightful. But what usually ends up being a real rarity is when almost an entire franchise is not only decent, but a high water mark for Hollywood blockbuster storytelling in general.

Over the last two weeks I did a complete deep dive into the "Planet of the Apes" franchise, watching every single one of the 10 (!) theatrical releases going all the way back to the 1968 original and finishing with last week's new "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes." Has anyone other than me dared to watch the entire series to glean deeper meaning from what's widely considered a ridiculous sci-fi series about talking monkeys? Absolutely, they have! Did they do as good a job as I will? Probably! But here we go anyway.

Honestly, the only thing that keeps the original "Planet of the Apes" from being a perfect film is the performance of Charlton Heston as an astronaut who ends up on a planet full of talking apes who've become the dominant species and treat humans as pets. Kim Hunter and Roddy McDowall give genuinely touching and subtle performances as the apes Dr. Zira and Dr. Cornelius, to the point where when Heston appears, madly gesticulating and desperate to appear hyper-masculine, the film almost falls off the rails. Luckily, the pacing and direction are so much fun that the movie doesn't really rely on him.

Next is 1970's "Beneath the Planet of the Apes," which most people hated but I am subjectively positive is one of the high points of the series. Heston didn't want to be very involved, so Paul Franciscus shows up as a new stranded astronaut who has a really similar adventure to Heston in the first one, except this one has a sect of psychic mutants who live in the subway tunnels beneath a destroyed New York and worship an undetonated nuclear bomb. This movie is genuinely insane and unpredictable. It might not be good, but I love it and its Vietnam-era nihilism about the fate of humanity.

Even stranger is 1971's "Escape From the Planet of the Apes," which sends talking apes Cornelius and Zira to the West Coast of the U.S. in 1973 and plays (at least in the first half) like a fish-out-of-water comedy. But when the American government finds out that apes end up taking over the world in the future and that Zira is pregnant, they quickly decide to not allow her to have the child. The performances of McDowell and Hunter, the not-so-veiled allegory to the just-filed Roe v. Wade and the genuinely bleak but humanist look at bureaucratic evil makes this an unforgettable piece of speculative fiction.

The next three films are pretty rough, but each has its positives. 1972's "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" is set in 1983 when the U.S. has become a police state where all apes are imprisoned and used for slave labor. The main character is Caeser (played by Roddy McDowell), the son of Cornelius and Zira, who leads an uprising to free the apes. While the concluding revolt takes way too long, the deeply angry script focused on American racism is far ahead of its time.

The worst of the 10 films is easily Tim Burton's 2001 reboot "Planet of the Apes." Mark Wahlberg is terrible and miscast, the plot is genuinely nonsensical and it has nothing to say about modern society that the previous five films didn't cover better. The only thing that makes the film worth watching is the incredible prosthetic ape makeup by the great Rick Baker.

It took 10 years, but the franchise returned with 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," featuring groundbreaking motion capture work by Andy Serkis and more empathy toward the plight of laboratory animals. Watching Serkis' ape Caeser lead the apes to freedom is rousing and very exciting, making "Rise" a flawed, but strong opening for an entirely new "Apes" timeline.

The next one, 2014's "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is quite possibly the first masterpiece in the franchise with visionary director Matt Reeves telling a gut-churningly intense fable about the inhumanity of man, placing "Dawn" firmly in the same conversation with other classic second films like "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Two Towers." In a just world, Serkis would have been nominated for an Oscar here for his performances as Caesar.

In 2017's "War for the Planet of the Apes," Caesar's quest to protect his people comes to an end with one of the most intense and well-made sci-fi films of the 2010s. In my review back then I compared the film to "The Great Escape" and "Apocalypse Now" and I stand behind that completely.
