Short description

Deep in 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 who has a rain forest full of animal friends: Tookie, his big-beaked toucan messenger; Ape, a witty talking gorilla; and Shep, a peanut-loving pooch of an elephant. But when poachers mess with George's pals, the King Of Swing swings into action.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The name of the country Bujumbura is also the name of the capital city of Burundi.
  • The filmmakers did not take African fauna very seriously and mixed toucans from America, orangutans from Asia, cockatoos from Australia, and a distinctly Indian elephant in the fictional African country of Bujumbura.
  • The film was shot in San Francisco, Los Angeles (California), Las Vegas (Nevada), and Hawaii.
