This cartoon earned a [[Film/GeorgeOfTheJungle feature film]] LiveActionAdaptation in 1997, with Creator/BrendanFraser as George and Leslie Mann as Ursula. There was also a direct-to-video sequel in 2003, which had Christopher Showerman as George and Creator/JulieBenz as Ursula. ("[[NoFourthWall Me new George. Studio too cheap to hire Brendan Fraser.]]") A second animated series premiered on Creator/CartoonNetwork in 2007.

!!The 2016 series provides examples of:

* AnnoyingLaugh: Ursula has a snort laugh.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Ape is more laid-back than in the original cartoon, and doesn't speak in a British accent.

His wife, Ursula, is necessarily smarter and more refined. George will often refer to Ursula as a "fella", apparently having trouble with the whole gender thing. Since Ursula is ''very'' curvy, this sometimes gets a reaction from any third party who might be present.

* GreenEyes: Ursula.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "My Georging Jacket" has creatures quite obviously having sex behind censor bars, as well as people licking psychedelic frogs. At one point they even have a floofer "floofing" behind a censor bar [[ADateWithRosiePalms when there's no other floofer there]].
--->'''Magnolia:''' Hey, knock it off! [[BreakingTheFourthWall This is a kids' show!]]

* ParentalBonus: On Body Politics, George's Body was playing charades with Ape then end it with flipping him the bird.

** In "Trouble With Bananaquats," George refers to Ursula as a guy. In the old cartoon, he often calls his wife Ursula "Fella".

** In "Still Got It", Mighty Burbank and Mighty Mary when they were young resemble George and Ursula from the old cartoon.

--->'''Magnolia:''' Hey, knock it off! This is a kids' show!

!!The 2015 series provides examples of:

* ContinuityReboot: A rather odd one coming seven years after the 2008 series. It's still somewhat the same series only with some slight changes here and there. Not exactly known why they did it but eh.

* SameCharacterButDifferent: This series uses the same characters as the 2008 series, except for several differences. George is a TopHeavyGuy like the original George, Ape has a British accent like the original Ape, Magnolia and Ursula's names have been switched, Ursula (previously named Magnolia) is a feral wild woman, the scientist and the witch doctor are no longer the girls' dads, and the scientist is now a villain.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Ursula, who was called Magnolia in the previous series.

* {{Mondegreen}}: The original theme song contains the line "...while Fella and Ursula stay in step." This line is often misheard as "...while ''Bella'' and Ursula stay in step." Justified because two women who look like identical twins show up when this line is uttered, but both of them are actually Ursula, and there is no "Bella" in the original show. The creators of the 2008 and 2015 revivals were apparently confused as well, since they actually introduced a new character (though she was called Magnolia, or "Maggie" for short, rather than Bella), and the theme song was changed to reflect this.

* DecompositeCharacter: The original Ursula is split into Ursula (a brown-skinned city girl) and Magnolia (a redhead jungle girl).

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "My Georging Jacket" has creatures quite obviously having sex behind censor bars, as well as people licking psychedelic frogs.

* LetsMeetTheMeat: In "Meet Meat" George is horrified to discover meat is made from animals, becomes a strict vegetarian and tries to make all the carnivores vegetarians too despite Ape's insistence that animals eating other animals is natural.

* TVNeverLies: In "Rip van George", Ursula's future descendant's brain is hooked up to the internet and every time she tries to look up facts on Jungle Wiki she gets an article that's been vandalized to somehow include pudding. She blindly believes every word.

Whenever trouble arose, mild-mannered playboy Henry Cabot Henhouse III dons his "Super Suit", drinks a martini glass of "Super Sauce" and becomes Super Chicken. Along with his sidekick, a dimwitted lion named Fred, Super Chicken suffers serious injury en route to saving the day. (Eventually)
