Film of monkeys getting drunk

[kahunabean]

Ages ago I saw on TV a light-hearted nature film - among the features was a story of how certain monkeys eat rotted, paritally fermented fruit and get drunk in the process. It was hilarious. I thought the film was called 'Beautiful Creatures' but looking at www.imdb.com I realise that's incorrect... Can anyone name the film for me ?

it was a disney true life adventure called beautiful people.

It wasn't a Disney film at all, although perhaps it seemed like one!! It's called "Animals Are Beautiful People" (The Secret Life of Wildlife). It took Jamie Uys four years to make, travelling 100,000 miles across Africa. The 'drunken' part is when Elephants,Baboons and Warthogs gorge themselves on some well-fermented Marula tree berries. I bought the video last year from www.moviesunlimited.com

i've got it on tape somewhere, i'll try to look it out for you in the near future. absolute classic, the fruit they ate was from the amorula tree and apart from the monkeys there were elephant, giraffe and warthogs as well as many others. the scene of the elephants tryiny to walk upright is special.
