A few weeks back, as part of my effort to catch up on Oklahoma-made cinema, I watched C.I.Ape – a modern-day CGI-fueled flick that, more than anything, made me wish I was watching the 1970s camp classic Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp.
Filmed in the greater Oklahoma City area and a powerplant near Weatherford, C.I.Ape is a kid's movie that focuses on a “secret” spy agency filled with a cast of zany characters, most of which are played by anonymous actors wanting an IMDB credit.
The film primarily focuses on the tinker-tanker soldier-spying mischief of a girl named Bondi (Sophia Alongi) and her somewhat-verbal CGI ape-companion C.I.Ape.
