Editorial Reviews
Pip thought he had it all, a pampered lifestyle, huge mansion and adoring owners, that is until the Taylor family booked an African safari. Pip finds himself separated from his clan, which forces him to reluctantly adapt to a new way of life in the jungle. As he bridges the divide between feuding wildlife he learns that caviar and manicures can never bring the same happiness as friendship.

This is hands down the worst animated movie I have ever seen.
The animation is horrible, dialogue non-existent except for when it's non-sensical, and the sound effects are straight out of a kindercare music class, and not in a good way. I echo the question posed in earlier reviews - what in the world was Redbox thinking putting this movie in their machines? Do the Life's a Jungle producers (using the term very loosely here) have incriminating evidence on some Redbox executive??? They must, because this movie brings "Waste of time and money" to a new level.
My 7 year old (who likes nearly anything animated, with this flick being the notable exception) and I were back to the Redbox within 20 minutes to return this stinker. I've never been so thrilled at the prospect of a Chipmunks movie as I was tonight when we stuffed this waste of plastic back into the Redbox to get ChipWrecked in return.
Stay away from Life's a Jungle and send a note to Redbox (CoinStar is the parent company) and if you've been unlucky enough to rent it before reading these reviews, tell them what you think of this selection. There must be something else that could occupy this space in the machine. I'm thinking a 20-min loop of the emergency broadcast system would be a step in the right direction.

It seems almost irresponsible to give this more than one-star, but I'm going to anyway. The film is so strange, and so awkward, that I have to give it points just for "standing out" from the rest. A+ on copying Madagascar with the title, too.
Life's a Jungle is just a strange, strange film. Textures pop in and out, animation glitches cause characters to stutter as they walk, and the film's soundtrack is permeated by odd noises, like loon calls, and cats that sound like human babies. Combined with the film's meandering pace--characters often stand around, silent, for minutes at a time--the film takes on a tone that's almost impossible to describe.
The film doesn't feel like it was made by "people." It doesn't remind me of anything I would come up with, or anything I've seen other people come up with. It feels like it fell out of a tree somewhere, created by a wholly alien intelligence. It's incomprehensible to us. This is not a compliment.
With unlikable characters, an eerie, static, dead world, horrendous sound and animation, a trite, predictable story line, and some of the most baffling and drawn out moments of on screen silence and inactivity ever, Life's a Jungle: Africa's Most Wanted has really earned its place in the pantheon of terrible animation. Video Brinquedo and Spark Plug Entertainment have found a friend in whatever this is.

This movie, if you can call it that, was poorly made. Its like someone did it at home on a Mac and asked their british and imitation southern friends to dub the voices. Seriously, worst production, poor plot and just plain terrible.... The best part about this movie is the reviews on red box. They are funny!

Absolutely terrible
I watched this movie on Netflix with these 3 kids I was babysitting (two 4-year-olds and an 11-year-old boy) and we somehow survived an hour of it-or maybe it was 20 minutes. Read more
