My Gym Partner's a Monkey: The Big Field Trip

Adam joins the school band for its annual field trip, hoping for music and mayhem in equal measure. The outing usually goes smoothly, but a sudden mishap sends the group off the main path and into a dense stretch of woods near the city. With adults out of sight and daylight waning, the kids must rely on thinking, teamwork, and makeshift shelter to stay warm and fed. The misadventure tests friendships and nerves as jokes mingle with real danger. Through it all, they discover how much they depend on one another and how hope can cling even in a tough, unfamiliar landscape. Their bond strengthens as they navigate the forest's quiet dangers and rely on small acts of kindness. Together.

Directed by Timothy Cahill, this 2007 television feature expands the My Gym Partner's a Monkey universe created by Tom Sheppard. It was produced for broadcast as a standalone TV movie linked to the series' familiar animation style and humor.

Box office data does not apply to this title since it was released as a television movie. There was no theatrical release and revenue came from network licensing and related distribution rather than ticket sales and distribution to home video.

There were no major awards or nominations, and it drew little prestige. It received minimal press and slipped quietly through award season unnoticed. Critics were restrained but noted light charm.

Reception was modest among fans of the show, with praise for its accessible humor and the voice cast. The film emphasizes friendship, resilience, and teamwork, showing characters staying positive and using their wits to manage an unexpected challenge. It stays kid friendly without losing humor that made the series popular.
