Adorable! New trailer for 'Chimpanzee'

Disney Nature is following up this year's "African Cats" with "Chimpanzee," a new feature documentary that focuses on Oscar, an adorable young chimp abandoned by its family. A new trailer has just recently debuted online, and you can check it out after the jump.

Like all of Disney Nature's films, "Chimpanzee" looks visually stunning, inviting audiences deep into Ugandan rain forests. It also promises a ton of cuteness combined with heartwarming moments, as evidenced in the footage below. Your kids will love it.

This new trailer is not entirely different than the previously released teaser, but it includes a small pitch at the end begging you to go see the movie so Disney can use some of the box office earnings to support unfortunate chimps. See it in theaters April 20, 2012.
