The film focuses on George trying to save Ape Mountain from his evil nemesis Lyle.

George's stress level increases when the "Mean Lion" challenges him for leadership of the jungle, and when Ursula's mother Beatrice teams up with Ursula's ex-fiancé, Lyle van de Groot, in a plot to forcibly take away all that George holds most dear.

During the same time, George's mentor Ape has become a gambler and is in debt to several creditors, including Lyle.

He thereafter sends two agents Sally and Kowalski to Ape Mountain, where they begin to demolish the jungle.

Ursula's memory, meanwhile, is stimulated by events similar to those in which George had played a major part.

Lyle's agents Sally and Kowalski come to destroy the tree house only to be defeated by George and Rocky.

A week prior to release, Caterpillar Inc. sued Disney over concerns that the film's use of its trademark (appearing on the bulldozers) constituted damage to its reputation.

[5] Joe Leydon of Variety wrote "One of the finest and funniest made-for-video sequels ever released on the Disney label offers an unusually satisfying mix of kid-friendly broad comedy and knowing pop culture parody.

"[6] Michael Rankins of DVD Verdict wrote that the film "delivers cheap, fluffy, mostly painfree chuckles" and suggested that people watch Jay Ward's cartoons instead.
