George de la jungle

(IMO) - This 2-D animated TV series (from 2007-2008) had both its fair share of entertaining moments, as well as its not-so-entertaining moments, too.

And, as a viewer, if you aren't totally willing to forgive our childlike hero, George for being the bungling klutz that he obviously was, then, I'd suggest that you pass on viewing any of these episodes and find something more to your liking to watch.

As for me - Yes. I will admit that "George of the Jungle" certainly did have its limits when it came to originality in its story-lines. But, all the same - I kinda grew to like the George character who (when faced with certain dangers) actually did quite the opposite by running away every once in a while.

It's one thing to remake a classic for the modern age and to gussy it up with modern references. It's something else to take a classic and totally mess it up into something that only shares the same name as the original. The latter is what you get with this modern version of "George of the Jungle".

Where do I even start? While the original had some really cheap animation, and I'll be the first to admit it was done cheaply, the animation had heart. The cheapness added to the whole thing. But with this, it just feels soulless and corporate. You know, it's like something designed by committee and it lacks the heart and the soul that the original had.

All of that could be forgiven if the writing was any good. But it's not. This is a a poorly written cartoon. Gone is the clever wit and sight gags and we now have tired and cliche settings. The characters even have a 2D feel about them. It's just not funny and not worthy of the name George of the Jungle.

I suggest seeing the original series or the first live action movie if you want a taste of what this could have been.

George of the Jungle is a good cartoon that should stop being compared to it's older cartoon. George of the jungle has been said to be a show for the whole family. Who ever said that is wrong. The show is pointed towards kids the age of 3 to 12, unless you have grown up with the cartoon and still watch it online. I still do and i'm fifteen. Now in this review i'm not going to say that George of the jungle is the best cartoon ever made, but it's NOT below terrible and worse then the older George of the jungle cartoon. I'm sorry that I yelled in my last sentence, but that is to express emotion toward people who say this cartoon is bad because it's not the George they grew up with. George of the jungle (2007) is a cartoon that never has one boring moment. The show is Quite rich with comedy, and what I mean by rich comedy is that it makes jokes about what is going on the world year 2007. A special thing to note about George of the jungle is that it's the first short lived cartoon with only two season to be shown on Cartoonnetwork for over two years. I know that may not sound so special, but it really is something. There are new characters so the variety of comedy can expand. George of the jungle is cartoon that is not meant to be compared to it's older cartoon, but it's here to entertain people ,and it deserves a three episode chance before anyone can truly say it's good or bad. George of the jungle is not a great cartoon nor a decent one. I Give it a 7.8/10. P.S this George of the jungle is in a parallel universe, because this George was raised AND born in the jungle.

George of The Jungle has got to be one of Cartoon Network's greatest cartoons, but for some strange reason, is also one of the shortest lived CN programs. While programs such as "Skunk Fu!" and "Chop Socky Chooks" seemed to die - This was one of those show that went far...

This cartoon starts off each episode with a great intro theme - "Watch out for that Tree" ! It concerns a King of The Jungle (named George) and his best friend Ape (the Ape). Also featuring is Tookie-Tookie (the Bird), Magnoila & Usula (a couple of girls who are George's friends) and Sheph(a Packiderm - and George's pet). George lives in the Jungle. The voice of Magnoila was supplied by Tabitha St. Germain (who also does the voice of Heloese on "Jimmy Two Shoes", and of course she also supplies the voice of Nazz from Ed, Edd, & Eddy).

I'll just tell you right now to swing away from this. Kids may like it due to how wacky it is but adults may not care. It's an adventure not worth embarking on. The title character's dumb which's to be expected but your character can only be dumb for so long. The other characters are smarter(some more than others).

The animation's ok. One thing I can't get over is how one eye seems bigger than the other. The stories are serviceable. I'll admit they can be clever and get a laugh. As is it's ok but not really a show I'd recommend you watch if you like the original source material. As I said before. Swing away from this.
