Characters
George
A friendly, yet dim-witted vine-swinging man in a loincloth, George lives in a jungle in Africa, acting as the "king of the jungle" in a Tarzan-ish role. Possessing incredible strength, bravery and a penchant for repeatedly crashing into trees while vine-swinging, George acts as the protector of all the jungle's inhabitants. He also acts immature (picking his nose and eating snot) and speaks in the third person ("George can't hear you"). Despite his scrawny appearance, he is quite strong for a normal man, he also believes he is an ape, and doesn't realize he is human. He is given his unique voice by Canadian voice actor Lee Tockar.
Ape
The friend of George who always disagrees with him.
Shep
The pet elephant of George. He is very playful at times.
Tookie
George's pet bird. Always says "Tookie, tookie!"
Magnolia
