Desperate for laborers, the inventive Dussard turns to the zaniest crew of olive pickers ever recruited ... four mischievous monkeys! As former members of an Air Force space team, these intelligent chimps quickly pick up on their new responsibilities ... but prove to have a turbulent effect on the local townspeople. Endless hilarity results in this slapstick family comedy! Average Rating:
 Rating: - Monkeys Meet MimieuxDean Jones was a Disney staple throughout the 1960s and 1970s, appearing in numerous comedies. This movie was one of Jones's first Disney movies. As a comedy this movie is relatively light, with most of the humor coming near the end of the movie. Hank Dussard (Jones) has inherited a small farm in France with 480 olive trees. In typical American fashion, Dussard believes that he can make a decent living from so many olive trees. In a Disney movie nothing is ever simple, and it turns ...

And Dean Jones is totally unappealing, especially opposite Ms. Mimieux. Dream on. Rating:  - Not a family movie(maybe Osborn's)We bought the movie to watch with our young children. In the first 1 minute there is a scene of grabing and kissing a girl againts her will(I guess this was funny in the 60's), there is also a riot that breaks out where the men are fighting in the streets, punching, hitting ect.. Then there's the wonderful scene where a person is scared into leaving the farm by being told the former owner torchered and murdered his wives and now the house is haunted by their ghost. Then there is the dishonest real ... Read More Rating:  - A Gem of A Movie, Extras or NotI loved this movie. The cast is wonderful, especially Yvette Mimieux and those darling chimps. The scenery is very beautiful and evokes a safe and light-hearted mood. Disney has made some very good movies involving animals (others being "The Three Lives of Thomasina" and "The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit.") True, the DVD does not have a lot of the extras that people are used to, but if you are a Disney fan who enjoys a good clear picture, don't let that bother you. Rating: - Monkeys on strike...DVD quality - Disney lost stars with me for not putting any effort into the DVD release, I reviewed the film separately below. The lack of widescreen, extras, re-mastering, trailers, or high quality sound is really sad for a company that makes more money than any other at re-releasing its old material. They can make them great when they want to, check the "Vault Disney Collection" at Amazon to see just how good they can be. THE STORY - An American farmer named Hank (Dean Jones) inherits ...
