George of the Jungle is an animated television series. It is a reboot of Jay Ward and Bill Scott's 1967 American animated television series of the same name, which in turn is a parody of the fictional character Tarzan, created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Using Flash animation, it is produced in Canada, airing there on Teletoon. The remake mostly stays true to the original production, with a few key differences existing between the two. One episode of the show typically consists of two 11-minute segments. This is unlike the original cartoon, which featured other stories such as Tom Slick and Super Chicken .

The original series aired from June 29, 2007, until January 11, 2008. [2] The original series premiered on Teletoon on January 11, 2008, and on Cartoon Network in the United States exactly a year prior.

The series returned 9 years after the original first season with a second season on September 10, 2016. [3] [4] The revival season concluded on February 18, 2017. [5] [6] [7] [8]

Production

Production of the series started in 2004 with Teletoon being in the project before Cartoon Network went on board; Tiffany Ward re-aged George to be a teenager while the art style is reminiscent of Cartoon Network series such as The Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack . Flash was used for the animation; Studio B was one of the first companies to adopt it. Another key difference between the 1967 and 2007 series is the prominence given to relationships with the core characters. All of the scripts were freelanced. [9]
