Monkey Tale is a 1954 educational film produced by the New Zealand National Film Unit and distributed by Encyclopaedia Britannica Educational Corporation. The 11-minute black-and-white film follows Charlie, a mischievous chimpanzee, as he learns an important lesson about bicycle safety. On his way to school, Charlie repeatedly ignores traffic rules—riding on the sidewalk, failing to signal, disobeying pedestrian crossings, and even giving his chimpanzee girlfriend a ride. After a conversation with a policeman, Charlie understands the importance of following safety regulations. On his next trip, he becomes a model cyclist, demonstrating responsible riding behavior. The film uses humor and engaging storytelling to teach young viewers about road safety.
