In our camping trip last December, one of our friends propped a pop-up tent beside their main one, the kind which wasn't one of those flimsy things that kids play with at home. The sight of the tent putting itself up reminded me of Congo, a movie I watched many years ago. I was amazed at the pop-up tents they had and the image somehow stuck. The other thing I remember about the movie is, of course, Amy the talking gorilla.
I figured it must have been a really good movie if I can remember bits of it. I resolved then to find and read the book it was adapted from, as I realized that the movie would be more difficult to find.
