The Jungle Bunch (film)

Based on the animated series The Jungle Bunch, the film was released in Italy on 27 September 2017 and was poorly received in the UK but was a box office success overall, with over a million admissions.

Meanwhile, The Champs, consisting of big Bengal tigress Natacha, hippie three-toed sloth Tony, neurotic Javan rhinoceros Goliath and crested porcupine Ricky, are engaged in saving all the inhabitants of the Jungle, mainly due to the evil deeds of an koala named Igor.

During the next chase, Igor almost manages to escape from the island in a small boat, but he is hit by the iceberg, preventing the koala from leaving the shore.

When Maurice grows up, he feels the desire to follow in the footsteps of his mother, against her will, and save all inhabitants of those who are in danger from other evil animals.

Years later, the Jungle Bunch, consisting of Maurice, his adopted tiger barb son Junior, dimwitted mountain gorilla Miguel, neurotic tarsier Gilbert, fruit bat Batrica, glass frog Al, and cane toad Bob, are busy rescuing elephants who were forced to serve a group of olive baboons under their threat to destroy their sacred totem.

Soon, the Jungle Bunch notice a burning tree and they arrive there, where they meet Igor, who lures them into a trap and learns from them that Maurice is Natacha's son.

Natacha decides to find Goliath with Tony and revive The Champs, while not wanting to involve Maurice and his Jungle Bunch in their affairs.

The next day, The Champs decide to interfere with Igor's plans, while cutting off the road to the Jungle Bunch, destroying the bridge.

Maurice soon finds himself near the pond and sees the memories where he left his home and found an egg, from which a young Junior hatched and he sheltered him, making him his son.

Maurice is glad of the return of his son and finds out that The Champs are in captivity and many animals are enslaved, forced to grow mushroom bombs for Igor.

The site's critical consensus reads, "At once restless and plodding, The Jungle Bunch is a woefully indistinct piece of animated kiddie fare.
