The Jungle Bunch

Directed by David Alaux1h 37m2017

Maurice may look like a penguin - but he's a real tiger inside! Raised by a tigress, he's the clumsiest kung-fu master ever. Along with his friends, The Jungle Bunch, he intends to maintain order and justice in the jungle, as his mother did before he. But Igor, an evil koala, wants to destroy the jungle once and for all—helped by his army of silly baboons.

Our read: The Jungle Bunch (2017) reads as a cosy, breathless, inventive adventure · comedy · family entry — gentle in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
