George of the Jungle

AdventureComedyFamilyRomance

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

    The female gaze is best represented in the cinematography of Brendon Fraser in his classic 1997 film George of the Jungle.

    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?...

    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.

    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.

    G'day from Australia. Cockatoos are notoriously destructive wreaking havoc on fruit trees & damaging houses. 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.

    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.
