Plot Summary
Disney presents the smash hit comedy that families and critics everywhere went bananas over! Deep in the heart of the African jungle, a baby named George, the sole survivor of a plane crash, is raised by gorillas. George grows up to be a buff and lovable klutz (Encino Man's Brendan Fraser) who has a rain forest full of animal friends -- like Tookie, his big-beaked messenger, Ape, a talking gorilla who's smarter than your average rocket scientist, and Shep, a gray-haired peanut-loving pooch of an elephant! When poachers mess with George's pals, the King Of Swing swings into action. But before you can say, "Watch out for that tree,"George comes face-to-bark with a few vine-covered obstacles! You'll go wild for this "wonderfully wacky comedy" that People Magazine calls "impossible to resist!"

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: George of the Jungle may be unsophisticated, but it is enjoyable.
Rotten: A few hip smarts get displayed here and there in this de facto, broadly comic Tarzan picture, which only reinforces the flailing feel that pervades a 92-minute running time.
Fresh: Not quite inspired lunacy, the film has a game, likable quality and strong sequel potential.
Rotten: There is not a banana's worth of plot in the Dana Olsen and Audrey Wells script to offer narrative nourishment.
