Synopsis
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.

Entertainment Weekly
Hits you on the head until you laugh. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
A movie that is sort of funny some of the time and then occasionally hilarious. - 70
Variety
Not quite inspired lunacy, the film has a game, likable quality. - 60
Empire
Very amusing fun. - 60
L.A. Weekly
This bit of fluff overflows with so much honest charm it barely matters that it's one in a seemingly endless succession of Tarzan retreads. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Sporadically playful, it ends up wearing as thin as any film geared to a preteen sense of humor is bound to do. - 50
Austin Chronicle
So silly, so garishly over-the-top, and so bracingly eager to please, that it's hard not to fall under its gleefully gooney spell. - 50
Chicago Reader
An amiable, highly ingratiating piece of lowbrow entertainment.
