Showdown

Monkey Business

Best primates in film

showdown:primate

It’s been a prime year for primates. Yes, The Monkey is swinging its way into theaters, but let’s not forget the CGI chimps of Better Man, Wicked, Gladiator II and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (three of which are vying for visual-effects Oscars at the time of this Showdown’s posting). Compile a list of your ten most superb simians, your greatest gibbons, your leading lemurs—King Julien is just as eligible as King Kong! If you need ape assistance, check out these lists by Ethan, Matt and the aptly named Derangedmonk95.
