Overview

Released in 2018, Cobby: The Other Side of Cute is a documentary film with a runtime of 1 hour and 25 minutes. The documentary explores a 1960s children's television program titled Cobby's Hobbies, which featured a chimpanzee getting into various types of mischief. For filmmaker Donna McRae, the show served as a crucial part of getting through a lonely childhood. In the film, McRae seeks out the people who made the show, along with Cobby's zoo friends, zoo keepers, and animal rights activists. Together, they help piece together the story of an animal stolen from his natural habitat to work on television before being retired into the San Francisco Zoo at age 7. The documentary highlights how most chimpanzees and other primates in entertainment suffered horrifically, often ending up as research animals or caged in roadside zoos.
