## Description

Bigger than life, outrageously funny and loaded with eye-popping special effects, Disney's GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE is the vine-swinging, box-office smash hit that's taking audiences captive! Deep in the heart of the African jungle, a baby boy is raised by gorillas. He grows up to be the hunky, heroic, yet clumsy king of the jungle, George (Brendan Fraser - California Man). But when a beautiful career woman named Ursula stumbles into George's unnatural habitat, he's swept off his feet. Leaving behind his forest full of animal friends, George plants roots in the big city of San Francisco ..where the comedy and adventure only grow bigger. Don't miss all the slam - bang action and good-natured fun that make George of The Jungle, a must-see for adults and kids alike!
