What do I mean by "not Disney"? Well, if you're looking for cute and cuddly animals, this is not the movie for you. None of these match that description.
However, if you want something with science and adventure, and are willing to accept these fairly ugly animals as they are, then welcome to this world!
I rather enjoyed the mystery of trying to track down a missing scientist. The Jungle Aces reasoned that he would be able to design an antidote to the dangerous pink foam, as he had been the one who originally created it.
My favorite character was the scientist's daughter, Camellia, now grown, and with a wooden prosthetic hand. That was from a childhood accident in her father's lab, and the reason the scientist had left.
Together with the Jungle Aces, she helps them decipher codes that lead to the scientist. Here's the tricky part: he is older and has dementia. The bunch then had to hope he could still be helpful.
I enjoyed it, and I think my middle-school aged nieces and nephews will, too.
