The Actress discovers him on the boat but doesn't get a chance to steal him before he is taken to the Zoo, but now that she knows where he is again she makes plans to capture him back. While in the Zoo Hugo meets 'Rita', a young vixen that's lived on the streets for as long as she can remember, but before they talk much Rita has to leave as two thugs break into the Zoo to try and steal Hugo for the Actress.

Review:
Danish feature animation. The featured yellow jungle animal's name Hugo was dropped from the title, since there at the time was a popular TV troll with that name. Another yellow jungle animal with a long tail, the marsupalimi, came first, but at that time, it only made the jungle uncertain in comics. Line animation is expensive and it took years after Valhalla before Danish animators pulled together making this film, where music by Flemming Quist Møller helped the popularity among younger kids along. Teaming up with a female fox Hugo having left his home manages to make it in the civilized yet chaotic concrete jungle. Jesper Klein lent his voice to one of the characters, and that actor made as number of voices to other animated films adding to his varied career in the media. However, you can actually tell that this feature thought out in Danish has a number of details in the rendering showing that this is not just a foreign film with voice dubbing. The success continued with a sequel maintaining the level of quality from the first film.. A kids film worth your kids' time.. It deals with topics like adapting to new environments, being alone and sticking together to achieve your goals. It is decent stuff to make our main characters likable. We also get some catchy songs in this feature which are actually both hummable and fitting in their respective scenes. The skateboard song is my favorite song and Wulle Wulle Wap is catchy and describes Hugo and his monkey friends Zik and Zak very well with its silly nature. It has a couple of scenes that may be a bit frightening to younger viewers, but it is not excessive. Our main antagonist, Isabella, has a breakdown which, in my opinion, is a little disturbing and unnecessary, but adds some nice surreal imagery to address her obsession with Hugo. Worth your kids' time if you ask me.. Jungledyret Hugo/Go Hugo Go (1993/1998) Review.
