Racist? Naah. Just a fun story.

Rating: Null/10 (13 June 2000)

I just saw this film for the first time yesterday, and enjoyed it thoroughly.
Those of you whose skin is crawling regarding the "racist overtones" in this movie might be interested to know that Louis Prima (who did the wonderful voicing for the Orang-utan) is of ITALIAN descent.
The animation is simple, not really sumptuous -- but it serves the story well. Loved the songs and characterizations. Really some wonderful voice work here. I'm planning to buy this movie so my daughter can enjoy it over and over.
