This movie is entertaining for children and adults alike, it is a story set in 1800 and features conflict with parents, family relationships, accepting responsibility, caring and coming of age. Times were tough in that year too, but some of the same type of problems existed when it came to family as families face today.

The entire family will enjoy this movie as they view the changes in Jay and laugh at the monkeys as he tries to capture them for the reward. This is not one of the typical boy and animal films as it is a film of growing up and doing the right thing. Dove awards the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this terrific story.
