Background
The first George of the Jungle animated series came out in 1967.[4] 1997[5] saw the release of the films George of the Jungle 1 and 2 and in 2007,[6] another George of the Jungle TV series was produced.
Plot
Like any proper jungle king, George is strong. George is pure of heart and George is well not very bright. George is a big-hearted jungle king who throws himself into his job like any teenage boy would – with boundless enthusiasm and reckless abandon.
George lives in a jungle filled with lions, anacondas, swarms of giant bees, skat-talking man eating plants and more. To top it all, there’s a whole array of evil villains gunning for George and his beloved wilderness. From the great hunters Tiger Titherage and Weevil Plumtree, who love nothing more than to mount George above their fireplace, to Dr. Chicago, a dentist-turned-even-more-evil-dentist to Edward Madmun, an English aristocrat who loves fiendish schemes almost as much as high tea!
Riding herd over the craziest jungle on the planet means the insanity comes fast and furious. Thank the jungle spirits he has a few friends who can help him in his twisted adventures like George’s best buddy Ape, science-obsessed Magnolia, headstrong huckster Ursula, Howie the Howler Monkey, the bird-brained Tookie-Tookie Bird, and George’s overworked pachyderm, Shep. George’s screwball logic and ill-conceived plans lead him and his pals into ridiculous situations and crazy detours that drive everyone in the animal kingdom bananas. But in the end, George always rises above the mayhem and saves the day with bizarre George logic that twists expectations and delights audiences.
