Jungle Fever (Screen)

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2009)

As i saw it the 1st January, it was my first movie of the year. If it gives a trend, well the year will be a happy ride.
I was in the company of the kid of my friend, who had the luck to see the first part on TV right before. I never see it actually (just heard my old parents telling it was very funny) but after this sequel, I would like very much to take a look.
About this one, I just fell "in love" with the lion Alex: there are a lot of animal characters in animation, but this character has a head above all others! He is really the King!
First, he is really well drawn at all ages but he has also a kind personality: He isn't dumb nor too smart too, he loves very much his parents and crave for their acknowledgment. Friendship means a lot for him and he is very brave. It's a deeply rich character who has much to say! That's a change! Sometimes real actors haven't all this!!!
In addition, he has a good team around him: the penguins, the monkeys and the hippopotamus, which in her way, is sensual! No kidding!
The story isn't really the genius idea but rather serves to expand the growth and interactions between the characters. So you got fun, moving moments and that's nice! The kid & I had good times and we moved it, moved itÂ….
A special thought for my ex-colleagues because every time I saw the posters with the tag-line "Always together, Always lost", I think to them!
