Critics Consensus

At once restless and plodding, The Jungle Bunch is a woefully indistinct piece of animated kiddie fare.

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

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.

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

Guardian

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

Rated: 2/5

[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.

Rated: 2.5/5

The National (Scotland)

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

Rated: 2/5

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

Rated: 2/4

While the animation is incredible the storyline is unoriginal and predictable and just like every other pre - school movie storyline

Just weird. More confusing than a David Lynch movie, unintentionally hilarious in places. Amazed that this made it into UK cinemas, but at the same time I'm glad I took my 7 year old to see it because we now have a new bunch of ridiculous catchphrases to shout at each other. Favourite line - 'he is a hero, he put the lotion on my butt!' It's almost as if the English translators were on mushrooms and just made the dialogue up when overdubbing the original French script, Magic Roundabout-style. Summary - terrible and great
