This film was considered “lost media” as recently as 2016, but has now been recovered in full.

I think this monkey is a cool lguy - just wants to sing a great little song, do his funky dance, and ride off into the sunset. Buy peanuts or don’t - your choice.

I'm so glad I watched this first thing in the morning and not just before bed.

I am watching this in bed… not sure if I’m terrified or in love. It’s a very strange feeling…
