Racist much? Gorillas+Criminals+Jail+Musicality+Gangs


Looks cute and Taron Egerton has a magnificent singing voice, BUT the story line of a young gorilla whose dad is in a gang, commits robbery, ends up in jail, and whose gang members wear gold chains is a poor choice: were all other animal species unavailable? What next, a light-colored gorilla as President and unarmed gorillas being shot in the back by cops? Why are the cops rhinoceroses and not pigs?

You're looking too deep into the movie. Just enjoy it for what it is. Sometimes take a break from reality and watch in the confines of the theater screen, not outside it.

Not everything has to be examined.

The OP associates black people with Gorillas.

For some reason, people today are so DESPERATE to find racism that they'll unwittingly make themselves look like racist. The ignorance and hypocrisy today is sad and disturbing.

Oh, for pity's sake! I am beyond sick and tired of people like you! You know, people who'll go out of their way to try to find racism in everything. It's like you love to find things to complain about. And if there is nothing even remotely racist in a movie, TV show, whatever ... you'll still cry, "Waah! Racist!"

If you're so easily offended, even by something in a movie that is meant for children, then perhaps you should avoid movies altogether. Come to think of it, you should probably avoid watching television, reading books, listening to music ... And you should also look into avoiding venturing outside of your little bubble.
