Narrator: Deep in the heart of Africa is a place no man has ever entered. The place that belongs to the lion, the elephant and the ape. A place known as the Bukuvu. Travellers flying overhead can only glimpse at its many marvels, its sparkling rivers, its lush veldts, its billowy cloud formations and its hidden mountains. Never fear, my friends. All was not lost. Scraped and boo-booed, they searched high and low, but they never recovered their most precious cargo.

Trivia
In the scene where Ursula is going to rescue George from his rescue of the skydiver caught on the Bay Bridge, she is standing on the front of the tugboats bridge. The music being played is the opening bars for "Don't rain on my parade" - a direct reference to Barbara Streisand in "Funny Girl". Streisand sang this song, standing on the bridge of the tugboat as she was racing to meet Nicky Arnstein, her true love. See more »Goofs
When George is showing Ursula how to "swing, swing, swing", Ursula is not wearing the cereal box ring on her right hand - a ring she found and has worn since she was 10. She removes it from her right ring finger several scenes later when she gives it to George in the tree house. See more »Quotes

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." See more »Soundtracks

A lot of movies have been fashioned after cartoons, but not all of them are successful. "George of the Jungle" is one of the few that score a hit in that department. The movie captures the slapstick feel of the original cartoon. Brendan Fraser plays his part well, as the dimwitted but lucky George. And I can't really imagine a different voice for the ape named Ape than that of John Cleese!
