Jungle Beat: The Movie (2020)
Produced in Cape Town by Sunrise, Jungle Beat’s adorable animations have become a YouTube phenomenon, racking up over 4m subscribers and over two billion views, as well as a host of awards.
Now the animation’s stars, Munki and Trunk, have their own movie, with an 88% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and a Best Feature award nomination from the 2020 edition of Annecy, the world’s most prestigious animation festival.
When a homesick alien crash-lands his spaceship near their jungle home, Munki, Trunk and their animal friends need to get him back to his ship and teach him about friendship and fun – before his father can take over Earth.
Screen International hailed it as “sweet, wholesome family fare that should win the approval of parents and hold the attention of younger viewers… It’s cheery message of friendship, tolerance and acceptance does seem particularly timely and can only help endear it to viewers.”
