Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Based on the stories by Margret and HA Rey, this animated feature tells the story of how cheeky primate George meets hapless museum curator Ted (voiced by Will Ferrell) and follows him from one jungle (Africa) to another (Manhattan). There's one quite good visual gag when George manages to project a magnified image of himself on top of the Empire State Building, echoing another famous ape that briefly mesmerised the New York populace. For the rest, it's a fairly routine mixture of slapstick and sentimentality, kept fluid by Ferrell's comical kvetching.
