Critics Consensus

At once restless and plodding, The Jungle Bunch is a woefully indistinct piece of animated kiddie fare.

I tried to concentrate on the visuals and then they reminded me how much I liked Madagascar more than I thought I liked it the first time I saw it.

At worst, the English dialogue sounds as if it were translated from dolphin noise into human.

2/5

Loud and zappy, The Jungle Bunch trots out predictable be-kind-be-brave platitudes, but lacks anything distinctive of its own.

3/5

Light and upbeat but neither very memorable nor original, THE JUNGLE BUNCH is a pleasant enough diversion for little kids.

2.5/5

[A] worthwhile, colourful dollop of time-killing family fodder that honours the tradition of anthropomorphised animals set in train by Disney and later pushed by Dreamworks with the Madagascar series.

2/5

The narrative somehow manages to feel both restless and painfully slow at times.

Best movie I've ever seen.

Dec 21, 2017

Saw with my 5 and 7 year olds, they lasted 40 minutes before they asked to leave!! We have seen our fair share of rubbish kids films but they have never asked to leave. Poor animation, random plot, badly dubbed over french-speaking characters. It was also incredibly loud. When i mentioned this to the staff I was informed it was "pre-set" and they issued a refund.

Just weird. More confusing than a David Lynch movie, unintentionally hilarious in places. Amazed that this made it into UK cinemas, but at the same time I'm glad I took my 7 year old to see it because we now have a new bunch of ridiculous catchphrases to shout at each other. Favourite line - 'he is a hero, he put the lotion on my butt!' It's almost as if the English translators were on mushrooms and just made the dialogue up when overdubbing the original French script, Magic Roundabout-style. Summary - terrible and great

As I understand, this cartoon from the point of view of critics was a failure, especially as an attempt to make a big movie from a weak series. In general, the franchise "The Jungle Bunch" I liked, although I started watching from September 2017, starting with this cartoon. In general, the entire franchise, like this cartoon, I put 4/5!
