Raised by gorillas after a crash, a kindhearted jungle man grows into a strong but clumsy hero with a quirky crew of animal friends.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a silly, cartoonish family comedy with broad slapstick, a sweet romance, and lots of quotable bits; Not for you if you dislike juvenile humor or repetitive jokes like in Stuart Little.
Pros: big slapstick laughs; sweet family vibe; playful narrator jokes | Cons: repetitive running gags; juvenile toilet humor; some darker moments
