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.

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.

Yes I know George of the Jungle was before my Time but I grew up watching the Re-Runs of the Classic Cartoon as a Kid and Loved it as well as the First George of the Jungle Movie (Not that terrible 2nd one) But this Cartoon tries to Keep the Spirit of George of the Jungle Alive to a New Generation but Fails.. I mean I have a lot to Complain about this New Series especially with The New Mindy Character sorry but Not a Good Addtion and George Seems like a Wimp in this I mean hes supposed to be really Muscular and Fit and A Big guy but all Around Good Guy and well Hits the TREE!!!! For Fans of the Old Cartoons I suggest Stray Away from this As Much As Possible because its not the Same George we know and Love but Im not giving this a 1 out of ten because at least its trying to get a New Generation into the Classics and Good Cartoons .. If you can Track the Old George of the Jungle The Kids Will still Love it!!!

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.

When it came to facing danger - I saw George as being a jungle-man who clearly knew his limits.

And, just because George "sometimes" (and I do emphasize the word "sometimes") ran away (and, yes, even hid) when faced with a perilous situation, that didn't necessarily make him a coward in my eyes. I mean, George was certainly no dummy.

And, besides the George character here - I found myself somewhat puzzled by Ursula and Magnolia. Like, neither of these 2 chicks had any romantic ties with George - So, because of that - I began to seriously suspect them of being a pair of "closet" lesbians, though, of course, that sexual possibility was never really reinforced in any way.

All-in-all - I found this animated, Canadian, TV production from 2007 to be fairly entertaining, for the most part.... And, yes - George certainly was a silly, immature klutz a good part of the time - But, hey! - After all this TV program was, in fact, just a kid's cartoon.
