  • “Feature Film” – George of the Jungle

    • Synopsis

George of the Jungle is a goofy comedy based on the 1967 cartoon series and classic “jungle boy” type stories of orphaned boys being raised in the jungle by the animals (Tarzan, The Jungle Book, etc.) It tells the story of heiress and ahead-of-her-time travel vlogger named Ursula venturing into the wilds of Africa. Her abhorrent fiance Lyle (Sandman from Spider-Man 3)  attempts to get her to return home, but Ursula continues her trek in the wilderness, where she encounters the “white ape” George - an oddly clumsy, but athletic and sincere man - raised by the denizens of the jungle, who saves her from a lion. They bond in George’s treehouse after the rescue. 

When Ursula’s guides and Lyle encounter the pair, through a mixup involving a gun-shaped lighter, Lyle accidentally shoots and injures George. 

Ursula immediately takes George home to the states to care for his injuries, and there is a huge culture clash when George tries to adapt to his current surroundings. 

Despite being in love with Ursula, George is persuaded by Ursula’s horrible mother to go back to the jungle, and Ursula pursues to tell him she loves him.

In the meantime, Lyle has somehow gained control of a radical organization and attempts to come between the two and force Ursula to marry him after all, but is ultimately foiled and we close on a scene of George and Ursula together in the jungle with their clumsy (like his father) son. 

    • Film Trivia –

      • All of the gorillas living with George were Jim Henson puppeteers in specialized suits

      • Brendan Fraser’s personal trainer brought a suit against him for not crediting him...and lost.

      • When George is interacting with the horses at Ursula's parents' party, the woman who wishes she could find a man like him is Brendan Fraser's girlfriend and future wife, Afton Smith.

      • It was after seeing this film that director Stephen Sommers considered Brendan Fraser for the role of Rick O'Connell in 'The Mummy' (1999)
