I instantly felt a connection with these three beautiful sisters – Sierra (18), Lauryn (15), and China (13) McClain – better known as the McClain Sisters.

Disneynature Directors Discuss the Magic of Chimpanzee
Truth really is stranger than fiction. There is simply no way that Disney could have planned for something as dramatic and unexpected as the adoption of a young, orphaned chimpanzee by such an unlikely male chimp.
