On the day of the Chimpanzee World Premiere we first attended the Disney’s Kids and Nature Celebration which was amazing. At the celebration, 5 different youth organizations where honored and gifted with a $100,000 grant to help with their cause. In attendance, there were not only some amazing youths that have a desire to help our planet as well as help others learn to help as well, but I was also honored to see Jane Goodall come on stage in honor of her Roots & Shoots program.
Take a peek at my video I captured of Jane Goodall’s speech that I think is inspiring to those young and old.
Seeing Jane Goodall on stage was just the beginning of a great morning. After the celebration our group headed to Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida for the Disneynature Chimpanzee World Premiere.
Once we arrived at the theater, it was time to walk the RED CARPET. As I am walking down the Red Carpet, I catch a glimpse of Jane Goodall just a few feet ahead and it is kind of neat being that close to this woman that has such an impact on so many people’s lives. Instead of worrying about finding someone to hurry and take a photo of me on the Red Carpet, I thought I would rather snap a picture of Jane Goodall myself. I knew I was going to have access to pictures of Jane Goodall on the carpet, but I wanted to catch a picture of her on the carpet myself too!
I did get a quick picture walking down the Red Carpet if you are curious what it looks like. I do kind of wish I had a good photo of me on it.
Once I was inside the theater, I did ask my new IRL friend Liz from A Nut In A Nutshell to capture a picture of me at the theater with my other new IRL friend Tricia from The Night Owl Momma. During this trip, I learned that IRL means in real life. I am really glad I had the opportunity to meet these ladies and can’t wait to see them again.
Once I make it inside of the theater, it is time to find a seat and wait patiently for the film to start. As we were seated and snacking on our popcorn, Jane Goodall entered the theater and the crowd started applauding. Just knowing that Jane Goodall was in the theater with us watching Chimpanzee made watching the movie even more special. That and being with 19 new mommy blogger friends. As the movie started, I was glued to my seats.
I will say that I LOVED the movie…. Stay tuned for my next Disneynature Chimpanzee post that will include more information about Disneynature’s new film Chimpanzee and my thoughts and opinions of the film. 🙂
