George of the Jungle (Picture 1). George of the Jungle cartoon images gallery 1. George of the Jungle cartoon pictures collection 1. George of the Jungle, Jay Ward's spoof of Tarzan, has left quite an impression on his Baby Boom viewers — especially considering only seventeen episodes were made. his elephant, Shep, is a dog — so dumb, he doesn't know his mate, Ursula (whom he calls "Fella"), is female — so dumb, his Oxford-accented ape companion, Ape, often rolls his eyes at the futility of explaining anything to the thick-headed lout. What the movie version of Tarzan sounds like, with his broken English, George is. George of the Jungle (Picture 1). George of the Jungle cartoon images gallery 1.

George's particular brand of broken English was provided by voice actor Bill Scott, who also co-produced the series, and whose other voice credits include Mr. Peabody and Dudley Do-Right). Ursula (aka "Fella") is voiced by June Foray (Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Granny, from the Tweety & Sylvester series) and Ape by Paul Frees (Ludwig von Drake and Boris Badenov). Daws Butler, whose voice credits include Huckleberry Hound, Yogi Bear and dozens of others, played many of the incidental characters. George of the Jungle was the first Jay Ward half-hour since Rocky And His Friends (1959) to debut with an entirely new cast of characters, and no segments recycled from early shows. Instead of reprising Aesop & Son or Fractured Fairy Tales, as Hoppity Hooper had done, its back-up segments were Tom Slick (about an intrepid racecar driver) and Super Chicken (Ward's only superhero parody). As for George himself, it was writer Allan Burns who had the basic idea for him, but he underwent considerable modification in development. George of the Jungle (Picture 1).
