I tried to concentrate on the visuals and then they reminded me how much I liked Madagascar more than I thought I liked it the first time I saw it.

[A] worthwhile, colourful dollop of time-killing family fodder that honours the tradition of anthropomorphised animals set in train by Disney and later pushed by Dreamworks with the Madagascar series.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 6, 2018

The narrative somehow manages to feel both restless and painfully slow at times.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 6, 2018

Even for a G-rated animated adventure, The Jungle Bunch is fairly tame.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 24, 2018

Bunch creators David Alaux, Eric Tosti and Jean-Francois Tosti have come up with an intergenerational animated action movie that is at its best in its moments of humour...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 24, 2018

... rhythm and references that appeal to children and adults alike. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 30, 2017

It's an agonising bore to anyone over the age of seven but is having an hour and a half of peace and quiet really worth both the financial and temporal cost? I highly doubt it.

At worst, the English dialogue sounds as if it were translated from dolphin noise into human.

| Sep 19, 2017

There's a lot of quickfire banter without anyone actually saying anything funny.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 18, 2017

While younger viewers may be moderately amused, this will not go down in the annals of great cartoons.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2017

Loud and zappy, The Jungle Bunch trots out predictable be-kind-be-brave platitudes, but lacks anything distinctive of its own.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2017

There's an odd disconnect between a complex, sometimes dark and occasionally violent plot, and the younger kids that the visual cuteness of its characters suggests it's aimed at.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2017

Busy but agreeably bonkers.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 14, 2017

This French animation does a good enough job in keeping its intended audiences entertained, but is ultimately left lacking in the imagination stakes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 13, 2017

The film doesn't make much sense and the animation isn't especially sophisticated but the young kids at whom it is aimed should warm to its cheery tone while the adults might appreciate its anarchic streak and some of its off-the-wall humour.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2017

Offers a cheap, but sufficiently cheerful rumble in the jungle.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2017

Its attempt to cram in both origin story and follow-up adventure makes it a long haul for the target tinies.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 11, 2017

This feels like a dated echo of better films like 'Madagascar' and 'Kung Fu Panda'.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 11, 2017

The pacing is fast enough to gloss over the movie's rather limited imagination. And although it's not exactly on par with the major studios, the animation work is nonetheless impressive ...
