    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Almost every element from the George of the Jungle (1967) cartoon series is included in this movie... even the "Never argue with the Narrator" line that shows up in Jay Ward's cartoons.
    • Goofs
      Shep is clearly an Indian elephant, none of which are found in the wild in Africa. The two species that inhabit Africa would be bush elephants (residents of Africa's savanna grasslands) and forest elephants (residents of African jungles).
    • Quotes

      N'Dugo: Bad guy falls in poop: Classic element of physical comedy. Now comes the part where we throw our heads back and laugh. Ready?

      Guides: Ready!

      [they all throw their heads back and laugh]

    • Crazy credits
      As the credits begin to roll, "Ape" suddenly calls out, "Hey, doesn't anyone want to know what happened to me?!" We then see a wild Las Vegas show with Ape dressed up in blue sequens singing "My Way."
    • Alternate versions
      On-screen subtitles were provided for Lyle's European mercenaries in the VHS release. These subtitles have been removed from the DVD version
    • Connections
      Featured in Siskel & Ebert: Contact/This World, Then the Fireworks/A Simple Wish/4 Little Girls/The Big Sleep/Shall We Dance? (1997)

    Even though it's a Disney movie...

    Even though it's a Disney movie and can be viewed by the whole family, the movie was quite funny. Not Naked Gun funny, but still funny nonetheless. It is definitely worth the price of rental or purchase, so long as you like silly/unrealistic circumstances, talking animals, etc.

    For those of you keeping score, this movie was much funnier than Dudley Do-Right, which had some similarities.
