George of the Jungle (2007 TV series)

Characters

Main

• George – A friendly, yet dim-witted, strong man in a loincloth, he lives in a jungle in Africa. 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 and refers to himself in the third person. In the second season of the series, he now has muscles to resemble his design in the original series.
• Ape – A sarcastic and intelligent gorilla that lives with George in the jungle. He functions as George's surrogate brother, parental figure and best friend, although his attempts to educate George have a long history of repeated failures. He also tends to serve as the voice of reason most of the time. In "George's Birthday Present", it is revealed Ape is 5 years old in ape years. Every time he hears the sound of Mitch's bongos, he dances uncontrollably, which results in mass insanity and the destruction of their tree house. He also dances on his fingers when George uses a leaf as a kazoo as revealed in "Ape Goes Ape". In season 2 Ape now has a British accent to match his intelligence.
• Ursula – A tomboyish city girl who came to live in the jungle with George and his friends along with her father Dr. Scott. She quickly forms a bond with Magnolia, causing the two to be frequently seen together. Young, reckless and eager to introduce modern culture into the jungle, she often tries to educate her new friends to the marvels of modern city life, only to usually have her attempts backfire. Regardless, she does her best to assist her friends when necessary. She is still adjusting to jungle life, and so she still has much to learn. In season 2, her name is now Magnolia and ventures the land without her father. She is hoping to win some kind of reward when her research is complete
• Magnolia – A native of the jungle and valley girl figure, she is one of George's closest friends since she came to the jungle. Despite her dressing in jungle attire as well as fits of hyperactivity, she originally appeared to be very well educated in both human and jungle knowledge, often helping to bridge the gap between Ursula's city life and jungle life. She speaks with a Southern accent, and can appear somewhat dimwitted at times. She is the daughter of the Witch Doctor, and therefore a Witch Doctor in training. In season 2, her name is now Ursula and this time speaks almost like a primitive caveman and acts as George's opposite wrecking mayhem through out the jungle.

In season 2 his name is now "Dr. Chicago" who is not a father. Sometimes he will be a Dentist or Villains, his plans will mostly be about dentistry or conquest for the jungle, but they will be easily defeated by George and his Friends.
• Witch Doctor – A very compact, diminutive character who believes his shaman skills are the solution to all problems. He often competed with Dr. Scott and his modern medicine to see who can solve a problem first, although neither usually provides the solution to whatever problem they tackle. Reasons unknown, he is no longer on the show in season 2.
