What happens

Animal Kingdom: Let's Go Ape (French: Pourquoi j'ai pas mangé mon père), also titled Evolution Man and Why I Did (Not) Eat My Father, is a 2015 animated adventure comedy film directed by Jamel Debbouze in collaboration with producer Fred Fougea. The film is a loose adaptation on the 1960 novel The Evolution Man by Roy Lewis from an original screenplay by Fred Fougea and Jean-Luc Fromental. An English dub of the film was made, but was cut 22 minutes shorter for its dark tones towards children. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
