George of the Jungle
Directed by Sam Weisman
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 rainforest 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. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →mummy. George of the Jungle was one of the first movies I ever remember watching though.
neutral · AI labelView post →The only time a muscled up character was given "The Female Gaze" treatment (that I can remember tbf) in my lifetime was George of the Jungle and the whole thing was lampshaded in a very self aware way by the movie itself. youtu.be/3qRzoz-CqTY?...
neutral · AI labelView post →The thing is that I don’t think you could do a Tarzan movie that worked anymore but you could definitely do a George of the Jungle that worked.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember in the 90s and 2000s when Disney put out a surprising amount of live-action adaptations of animated properties that weren’t from Disney’s own animation branch? Inspector Gadget and George of the Jungle even got DVD sequels, and Gadget has another LA film in the works.
neutral · AI labelView post →All the people who actually like Hot Frosty need to watch George of the Jungle starring Brendan Fraser because it’s a very similar movie except that it’s a million times better
positive · AI labelView post →going down a memory lane movie watch, and i completely forgot about the opening scene of George of the Jungle, this guy just openly and vigorously groping his junk. yea the various sources of my taste in men is becoming clearer.
neutral · AI labelView post →It could be the thing I took, but George of the Jungle is *EXACTLY* as good as I remember it being. A masterpiece of film. How is this not in the library of congress? Backups should be shot into space to be viewed hundreds of years later when they re-enter for future generations after the US.

They are highly intelligent and have an incredibly strong bite. Years ago I was a caretaker for a Cockatoo named Henry who featured in the George Of The Jungle movie and I still have a scar.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching George Of The Jungle and struck once again by the absolute cinematic purity of Brendan Fraser. Does he have one of the sweetest, kindest faces ever captured on film? I remember Ian McKellen said he learned a lot about rapport with the camera from working with him.

positive · AI labelView post →309.) George of the Jungle 2 So like the very first line of the movie was riffing on Brendan not being in this Very fascinating in the sense that it's almost hyper-aware of what it is and doubles down on the nonsense in order to become a feverish experience 6.75/10

The film broke 20 minutes in. I thought I'd get fired. Boss brushed it off "We sold a lot more Skittles we wouldn't have"
neutral · AI labelView post →Since we're all talking about the female gaze here's a scene that's literally about that from a 20th century film called George of the Jungle where Brendan Frasier is running around in a big open white shirt playing with horses while a bunch of woman practically melt. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QHK0...
neutral · AI labelView post →Minecraft felt more like George of the Jungle comparison wise - a movie that’s not very good but has enough kid silliness for kids to enjoy… but George of the Jungle didn’t make a billion dollars.
