Almost every element from the George of the Jungle cartoon series is included in this movie... even the "Never argue with the Narrator" line that shows up in Jay Ward's cartoons.

Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When the guides are talking about Lyles "magic pictures", one of them says how he prefers the "resolution of his Zeiss 35mm" in Swahili. This is translated incorrectly by Kwame as the "resolution of his Leica 35mm"

Quotes:
[first lines]
Narrator: Deep in the heart of Africa is a place no man has ever entered. The place that belongs to the lion, the elephant and the ape. A place known as the Bukuvu. Travellers flying overhead can only glimpse at its many marvels, its sparkling rivers, its lush veldts, its billowy cloud formations and its hidden mountains. Never fear, my friends. All was not lost. Scraped and boo-booed, they searched high and low, but they never recovered their most precious cargo.

A lot of movies have been fashioned after cartoons, but not all of them are successful. "George of the Jungle" is one of the few that score a hit in that department. The movie captures the slapstick feel of the original cartoon. Brendan Fraser plays his part well, as the dimwitted but lucky George. And I can't really imagine a different voice for the ape named Ape than that of John Cleese!
