By George this movie is fun!This movie is good, innocent fun for all ages. It has a silly bad guy, an even sillier good guy, and a monkey that talks. Very entertaining and family friendly. April 21, 2008

George of the Jungle critique
This is an excellent family film. More so, for those of us who remember the original 1960s cartoon. One of the many ways that this film works is that it has humor for the kids and for the adults.
The morality lessons are also important. The value of friendship and loyalty are the most important messages in the movie.
All in all, a fun film all around. January 7, 2008
About the DVD... Widescreen or pan-and-scan?
This film is only available in full screen but you are not missing anything because the widescreen version is the same 4:3 picture cropped for 1.77:1. How do I know this? Because I actually invested a lot of money for a rare "widescreen" laserdisc of this film on eBay only to find out that the "widescreen" image was really a cropped version of the (original) 4:3 version. Disney's favourite aspect ratio is 1.66:1, which means that films are filmed in 4:3 and then hard matted down to 1.66:1 for theatrical release and then to 1.77:1 for DVD. It would have been nice to have the added resolution of an "enhanced for widescreen" 1.77:1 DVD since I own a widescreen TV, but at least now I know the film is full screen and NOT pan-and-scan. And this format shows a lot more Brendan Fraser, if you know what I mean...:-) October 11, 2007
