When primate specialist Dr. Janet Fesdack accidentally loses two of her precious tape recorders in the South American rainforest, she assumes they are gone forever. Little does she know, the tape recorders have been discovered (and put to good use) by the animals of the jungle. One of these jungle inhabitants is Juanita, a plucky young monkey with aspirations for a high powered music career. Juanita’s dreams lead her away from her family’s habitat and soon she finds herself far from home without a clue how to get back. Below is a little preview of one of the scenes (Juanita with the Llamas).
