Dies und das:

In the scene where Ursula is going to rescue George from his rescue of the skydiver caught on the Bay Bridge, she is standing on the front of the tugboats bridge. The music being played is the opening bars for "Don't rain on my parade" - a direct reference to Barbara Streisand in "Funny Girl". Streisand sang this song, standing on the bridge of the tugboat as she was racing to meet Nicky Arnstein, her true love.

Dialogzitate:

[first lines]
Narrator: Deep in the heart of Africa is a place no man has ever entered. The place that belongs to the lion, the elephant and the ape. A place known as the Bukuvu. Travellers flying overhead can only glimpse at its many marvels, its sparkling rivers, its lush veldts, its billowy cloud formations and its hidden mountains. Never fear, my friends. All was not lost. Scraped and boo-booed, they searched high and low, but they never recovered their most precious cargo.

A Few Twists Make This A Fun Movie

This was a pretty entertaining comedy with a few twists added, such as a talking gorilla, which made it fun to watch. We also see an elephant act like a dog and along the way our hero (Brendan Fraser) is a likable boob. Sometimes it's just plain stupid but that's what you get with any comedy.

Disney has this in the "PG" mode so we get some of the standard peeing, farting, sex jokes and innuendos, kicking people in the groin....you know, all those supposedly-hilarious gags that have become so commonplace in modern family comedies. There is enough original material in here, though, to enjoy this a couple of times.
