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.
