What's left behind the scenes

  • The Marsupilami comics were translated into German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, and many other European languages. One album was published in English in 1995, but due to poor sales, all plans for further translation and release in English-speaking countries were abandoned.
  • Filming lasted 15 weeks from November 2010 to January 2011 on three continents: Central America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. Mexico was the main filming location, and aerial panoramic shots of the jungle were filmed on the island of Borneo.
  • The same Mexican forest of Catemaco, near the city of Veracruz, was the site of Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto" several years earlier.
  • Alain Chabat had been developing the project since 2005. The famous French actor and director had been a big fan of the Marsupilami comics since childhood.
  • "The Jungle Calls!" was the first full-length French, and indeed European, film to use the IMAX format.
  • The role of the giant Bollo was played by professional bodybuilder and wrestler Dalip Singh, known by the stage name The Great Khali.
  • Patrick Pittavino, responsible for working with animals on set, had to look after a whole mini-zoo. It included llamas, parrots, coatis, a tortoise, and even a chihuahua.
  • It took 8 weeks to make 350 costumes for the most diverse inhabitants of the exotic Palombia.
  • The famous Marsupilami nest regularly required a lot of care. Made from natural palm leaves, it was taken to a refrigerated storage location at the end of each day of filming. A total of four nests, one and a half meters high and two meters wide, were made.
  • For Alain Chabat, a big fan of the Marsupilami comics, it was a matter of honor to convey their spirit and atmosphere as closely as possible. No deaths, no excessive violence or cruelty, no scenes of sex or nudity.
  • Always striving for perfection, Alain Chabat often worked on polishing dialogues and individual scenes in the script directly on set during short lunch breaks.
