Life's a Jungle: Africa's Most Wanted is a CGI movie from 2012. It follows Pip, a spoiled-rotten dog from New England, going on a safari with his family. When he falls off the back of the jeep and nobody notices, he is forced to fend for himself in the jungle with the help of a crew of well-experienced jungle animals. Pip's street smarts help the jungle animals start a new civilization.
