Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Swedish 'Sågfilmer' tradition—family films that don't sugarcoat death for kids. Monky fits the lineage of 1970s classics like 'The Brothers Lionheart.'
Director Maria Blom insisted on real capuchin monkeys over CGI, causing 40% of the shoot's chaos. The monkey's name in the film matches her real name.
