Synopsis

Pip thought he had it all, a pampered lifestyle, huge mansion and adoring owners, that is until the Taylor family booked an African safari. Pip finds himself separated from his clan, which forces him to reluctantly adapt to a new way of life in the jungle. As he bridges the divide between feuding wildlife he learns that caviar and manicures can never bring the same happiness as friendship.

Wordiezett So much average
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
ashtonbird-65186 This is just a joke, this film is the worst piece of shit. The animation is just repetitive and uses everything over and over again, no real effort has been in this film, just a terrible hunk of garbage, the animation is also just choppy and this is just one the worst films ever in the history of man-kind.
TheLittleSongbird That's a word you rarely see me use, except for movies so bad that it's impossible to find any entertainment or value in it. And Life's a Jungle is one such movie. Nothing good can be said about the animation, if you say it is poor you are being too kind. The colours are flat, the characters have nightmarish facial expressions are move so aimlessly it looks like they're moving in slow motion and the backgrounds are from start to finish blocky, as stiff as you could possibly get and looks like fast forward but significantly slowed down. The soundtrack has to be one of the worst of any animation, that it's plodding and with not one memorable moment is one thing but to incorporate sound effects that are so bizarre-sounding and used to both overdone effect and in all the wrong places makes things even worse. Life's a Jungle's script consists of humour so juvenile children and adults would feel their intelligence is being insulted, dialogue that is unfunny and awkward-sounding and jokes that are completely ruined by drawn-out pacing(that's including the most inspired of them, the flashback of a character's version of play fetch). The overlong pauses are extremely grating after a while. The story moves at a snail's pace and is so paper-thin it's almost plot-less, making the already too-long length twice as long. If you're looking for any charm or heart look elsewhere, you won't get either here. The characters are obnoxious and manage to be even flatter than the script, and the voice acting is terrible, not only do the voice actors sound bored but a lot of them don't fit at all with their characters. If you imagine a big dog having the voice of the smallest kitten, that's the effect the mismatching of the voices has. To conclude, execrable stuff with no redeeming merits and will provide absolutely no entertainment for anybody watching. 0/10 Bethany Cox
chrismulkeyisgod I watched this movie with an increasingly intense eye and noticed that the children (directly descended from me, one could safely reason) were keen on watching it too. Keen we all were, you could say, for several reasons (the first one being a little bit technical for laypersons but please. Bear with me).The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. (The speed of sound in water is about 4 times faster than this). The speed of light in air is about 300 million meters per second. I learned this theory, rather indirectly one could say, from U.K. University of Physics.These theories are facts, and facts cannot be ignored by a good film maker (as an aside, these facts are, in fact, ignored far too often. One could say. Ha, ha, ha...). If you watch this film, you will see--nay, notice--that Robert D. Hanna has most definitely the firmest grasp on the newest ideas being bandied about the upper-most circles of The United Kingdom, and has made some daring (though appropriate) corrections to the translation of live-action CGI towards the big screen.The end result is that We (long live The Queen!) are no longer barraged with simultaneously occurring sound and visuals. There is finally order, and Hollywood, pay attention, please. For the sake of progress.There are many haters reviewing this film but I must suggest that these people are frightened off by scientific clarity--of actually having ample time to process every intricacy of what they are seeing and hearing.Moving on, I loved the visuals in this movie. What I wouldn't give to have a bulb garden similar to the one in the film, and now that I've seen Africa in all of it's glory I might suggest that we as a nation might want to pay attention. They have some very lovely land.It is my deepest, most real and sincere hope that Robert D. Hanna finds his own very special, nice-smelling girlfriend. One who will not only threaten to withhold sex from him, but from all of us. It just might be our last hope for world peace.
David Brailsford I know this is made for kids, but really? The animation is horribly choppy, the story felt more like it was made for a video game (it would almost be forgivable in the form of a game).The very cliché story follows the story of a pampered pooch who is forced into unfamiliar territory and forced to adapt. He makes "friends" with a panther, her cub and two hyenas. The hyena agree to protect him if he proves to be of value to them. He proceeds to help them with their problem getting water and the is later accepted as he comes up with a ways to get them water while avoiding their enemies the gators... the gators respond by enlisting the help of their allies the rhinos... Why the gators were hoarding the water was anyones guess though. Ultimately the dog overcomes numerous challenges, has several flashbacks that drag out the torture and makes the choice that he likes his new life with his friends (who let him leave to go off alone after his one plan backfires) once he unites all the animals he's met... his family from New England promising to visit each year. Now the big issues, Animation... characters look like they are moving in slow motion, the sloth is supposed to be slow, but do to the bad animation you probably wouldn't know that as he moves the same speed as everyone else. The physics in this universe is very foreign to our own making it harder to relate to the characters problems.Sound effects is the next big issue. They are very badly done, also the sound effects characters make don't fit their voices at all. Pip talks like a British gentlemen but makes Scooby sound effects. The baby panther doesn't make cub sounds... it makes generic baby sounds.Story is a kids story, not a very good one, but not the worst story either, I won't call it on thatbut that coupled with the other problems makes it almost painful to watch.I won't recommend this one for the average viewer unless they have a friend with a younger child who you really want to punish said parent for some reason or you teach a computer animation class and want a "what not to do" movie to show before a Dreamworks film.
