GOTJ: 14 reasons why!?

Hello, I love to reason why is the modern day George of the jungle much more popular than his counterparts?

1. Growing up George: modern day George started out as a wussy teenager, but as Season 1 faded out of millennial memory, he grew into a chest beating man with muscles! I think he has a big grin, sky blue eyes and dirty dark brown hair. That's because he is likely an alien, so his surname can be added for a possible third season.

2. Growing up Ape: George's best friend is an ape called Ape, because he's a smart sidekick! Like him, the gorilla (likely a Grauer's gorilla) started out as a nutty and sarcastic young animal, but as Season 2 began, he became wiser and more experienced. Oh, he also has a snotty brother called Ted.

3. Switching names: As I said yesterday, the name 'Magnolia' is too girly for the redhead while the name 'Ursula' is vice versa, but for the same reason as well!

4. Enough said for 2D: the first season remains an alright breadwinner among the two, because it wasn't good enough for its time. The second one is considerably weaker, but gets mixed reviews like the first. The biggest similarity that they both share: being 2D Animated and made on computers.

5. George needs a wife: will the modern day George of the Jungle need a wife? Is she someone new to the modern day continuity? I think both answers are yes, because she could be (1) a feral alien person being raised by apes and (2) can swing through the trees.

6. George of the city: will the modern day George land in the city where his extended family lives in? He can go to the city anyway, because he wants to meet his (mainly unseen) extended family for the first time in his whole dirty life!

7. Ursula reveals her past: Ursula (the Witch Doctor's adoptive daughter) is one awesome character by her full name of Hester Ursula Swank (that's my opinion). She was born to ex-fashion/rainforest activist parents in Toronto, but became an orphan at eight years old, when they got murdered by a timber mafia.

8. The show is rated PG in Nordic countries: yes, the Nordic peoples like to refer the same Canadian television masterpiece as PG instead of G! Maybe, the reason for this possibility is that the television show has a parental guidance tag in that region, because the characters could be quite dysfunctional and snobbish for the local kids here.

9. George's mum and dad have a test appearance: in a special episode segment called 'I've Gotta Beave Me!', modern day George dreamt that he had lookalike birth parents (who died mysteriously)! The mother - code named 'Lady George' - scantily resembled her original self (confusingly named Ursula of course!) of '67. The only major differences are the addition of a bone as a head/hairband (so Victorian!) and maroon hair replaced with brown hair. The dad - code named 'Man George' - barely resembled his original self at all, because the main difference is the replacement of a leopard loincloth with a leaf one (so Biblical, it's not funny).

10. The modern show is renamed in Sri Lanka: the name 'George' in the South Asian island of Sri Lanka is perhaps a big slur here, so the show was renamed 'Wan Ah Sara' (which, funnily enough, means 'Sarah' in the Sinhala language). Since the show got renamed for Sri Lankan television screens, it has become a locally dubbed smash hit for a few years now.

11. Furry comparison: there's a possibility that the two significant sidekicks in the original show were actually old perceptions of jungle animals!

12. The locations have been unofficially changed: the GOTJ location in 1967 is (in actuality) Sabah, which was Northern Borneo in the first days of the Cold War. The 1997 film's locations are Hawaii and San Fran, whereas the 2003 sequel's locations are Northeast Queensland and Las Vegas. The modern version is the first in the franchise's whole history to be set in the actual Congolian basin. 

13. RIP old school: the original Tiger Tithy and Weevil were British, the original Witch Doctor was a native, District Commissioner Alistair was there, Vintage Georgie was an adventurous klutz, his wife Vintage Ursula was a bright minded New Englander woman, Doctor Chicago was a Hispanic mad scientist. Unlike Weevil, Tiger had a wife who only appeared in the pilot.

14. Goodbye Jay Ward: Jay Ward died in 1973, that’s it.

George of the Jungle: Evolution

Hello fans, George of the Jungle has evolved in 50 years.

In 1967: my mother Patricia has had watched the original show (but in Spanish) as a young kid. Do you know that the original George is likely a feral caricature, of a dead and disliked 1960's athlete called George Eiferman!

Eighteen years later: Trish was twenty two, when Weird Al Yankovic (a satirist that The Hobbyist currently loves) did an eighties style cover of the original theme. It's also notable for being the only straight Weird Al cover ever released. Twelve years later, the same Weird Al cover came into the film credits.

Fast forward to 1997 and 2003: Trish (now an adult) was married to Goran for five years, when Disney's lukewarm film version got released in the peak of 90's summer goofiness. Thankfully, when The Hobbyist was a tot, the panned straight to video sequel gave millennials (plus the boomers and gen x) a glimpse of George having a kid! For 1997, 'Presidents of USA' (I meant a less known alt rock band. Also surprising: my PUSA CD now resides at the art class.) did a 'bongos-style remake' of the old school intro, while in 2003, the same thing went into a silly mess, when it got sung by Jeff Scott Soto..

Fast forward again to 2007: the Revival show first appears, this time my brother The Hobbyist (as a kid) had watched (and discussed about) the show on the once-fabulous ABC Kids, because that same channel has had both tot and teen shows until early into the 2010's. The original intro has had enough time to get obsolete, so it got replaced by a then-new theme full of hip hop jives and millennial comedy.

Fast forward more to 2015 and 2016: The Hobbyist (now teenaged) currently dislikes the show (in its second season), while he and I both went to the crap middle school for two years. There's one more year to go for Season 2 to get (first) released in more countries, as we got our second year at the middle school. In March 2017, as the second season retires, we were 3 months into the final middle school day. The 'raps-and-jives' have become typical of the first season, while the new intro recalls memos of the sixties.

Now this year: The Hobbyist (now taller) and I have both become Selwyn college students, since the franchise 'George of the Jungle' reached a fifty year mark. Since I am now a future video maker, I think modern day George is the one that I love the most, because he's a (once puny and cute but now big and muscly) chest beating guy whose jungle king spirit marches on!

Happy 60 years, Richard ConcepcĂ­on!

Hello, the greatest fursona of all time may've been a New York City man of Filipino origin, by the name of Richard James Concepcion. He was also the voice of 'Rapid T Rabbit' (his most notable creation) in 'Rapid T Rabbit & Friends' (another notable creation of his), which is also the longest running furry-themed television show of all time.

On Friday October the 27 2017: I went to a big Interact Festival (it is located at the Corban's gallery, which is in Henderson, a once happier suburb where my dad grew up) with people from the Totara Learning Centre, and it's very cool. The best part: my fellow Totara buddies Stephanie Wang (who went to Unitec from 2018 onwards) and Lea Matas Stankovic strode on the catwalk for a New Age Travellers themed fashion show! Another great part: I drew at least three artworks memorising the late Rapid T Rabbit man. 

The Hobbyist, my Chogokin loving twin, has had lots of research on the furry fandom, their misrepresentations and their growing impact on popular culture. Furries are not just about being a different identity, they could be mostly millennials themselves. He also watched 'Furries in the Media', a furry themed web show made by a cool Vixen costumed YouTuber! Her 'fursona name' is Aberguine and is an increasingly influential twentysomething geek that produces this show.

The Hobbyist knew the furry fandom for a year (or so) now, but not the late Richard James Concepcion nor his older brother Dennis? Hail Richard, the king of furry fandom classics.

Mowgli's family Tree

It is well noted that Mowgli already has a rather flattering family tree by the time he died along with his wife Nashi, son Nitin and daughter in law Neesa in a house fire late in 1928. By the time they died because they smoked weed too much, their daughter, who was Jinni’s paternal grandmother, Unni, was ten and a half years old and really damn creepy. 

She later married her newly wealthy best friend and had four boys, the youngest of whom was Jinni’s father Nuro. As they aged, they just wanted all of them to leave due to lots of screwed up sibling rivalry. 

Nuro later married his favourite parp Tada and had sex with her about five times. In turn, four frigging boys came out within the interval of fourteen years. 

The daughters of Mowgli lived longer though, and got married into different families instead. Taruna became a wealthy multimillionaire, married Nusa and had two children with her. The daughter and son, both of whom were born into a large birth interval gap of twelve years, were named Manjula and Mohamed, aka Mert. Naira married Bheeka and had six children, four daughters and two sons. The identical twin sons, Ajay and Hamza, who were the youngest amongst them by twenty years apart from the eldest, became notorious gangsters on their own right after their abandonment by them, a sign of neglect. The singular sisters had lived better lives though, becoming independent by the time they reach mid-teens, while diverging in career paths as well. 

His descendant will be a scrawny girl named Jinni.

Australian SeaWorld vs American SeaWorld

Hello, I think Australian Sea World is culturally different from the American contrast.

1. The American SeaWorld means 'world-profit-hungry, sea animal lifespan-shortening centre', while the Australian contrast means 'sea animal lifesaving, family-friendly theme park'.

2. The dolphins at Australian SeaWorld are mostly local Australian dolphins, even though they can be unhappy in their shared pools. The dolphins at the American contrast come from different seas, yet have fared much worse!

3. The trainers who work at Australian Sea World are more like lovers of nature and sports. Those who work at the American contrast are more like mainstream entertainers!

4. The founder of Australian Sea World was a trustful lover of nature and sports. His counterparts of the American contrast were greedy and corporate profiteers.

5. Most animals at Australian SeaWorld are rescued creatures, while most of those at the American contrast are captive-bred or have been kidnapped by greedy profiteers.

The problem with extinct animals

Dear my fellow friends, this week's big question is: the sixth extinction that may happen or not?

I have a big brain, live a long life, and I am advanced; in other words, I am a human. Yet the human also has a mind-boggling dark side.

My all time favourite dino is the extinct Deinonychus. In the making of the first Jurassic Park, the production crew really loved the creature. But didn't allow its actual name to gain notice, because that same word is harder to pronounce! Therefore, why did that creature gain its embarrassingly funny nickname? Rightly so, it turned out to be the rough-sounding 'Velociraptor'.

The Triceratops is one of the more popular herbivorous dinosaurs, because she had three horns on her face. Baby Bop of Barney & Friends fame is that kind of species.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex also turns out to be weirder. Even though he technically had excellent vision, he's slow but very patient. On the impressive side, he had two claws on each hand of his puny arms, making him a showy beast! Barney the dinosaur, from Barney & Friends, is a miserable old T-rex now. These three dinosaurs are the ones that I like a lot.

There are weird dinos with great names (and nicknames) as well: the outrageously beaky Pinocchio Rex (actual name: Qianzhousaurus), the feathery herbivorous Nothronychus, the outrageously spiky Stygimoloch, the nosy Rhinorex, and the divine Kosmoceratops.

But most others are not so weird: the quintessential Allosaurus, the swaying Diplodocus, the unkempt Stegosaurus, the greedy Apatosaurus, the peckish Velociraptor (yes, the same true one!), the ancient Protoceratops (B.J. is that one!), the gliding Archaeopteryx, the slinky Brontosaurus, the duck-billed but land-living Parasaurolophus (Riff is of that species!), the fancy and clever Troodon, the small but rowdy Compsognathus, the smart but slow-waddling Iguanodon, the huge but patient and slow-paddling Spinosaurus, the swift and nifty Procompsognathus, and the knightly Ankylosaurus.

More prehistoric animals coming up! The Thylacosmilus is an extinct marsupial, or more correct, a metatherian. She superficially resembled a feline sabretooth, but had young born in a pretty early stage.

The Smilodon, our familiar sabretooth, is a true prehistoric feline. Though not related to the tiger and the fellow big cats, he was a bloody old beast indeed. He had two nasty sharp canines that were too big to fit inside his mouth. but on the impressive side, he could compete with the terror birds for food.

The biggest ape of all is the extinct Greater Gigantopithecus. She is a magnificent prehistoric creature who once lived in southwest China's subtropical montane forests. Both her smaller fellows, the Common and Lesser Gigantopithecus, might have also lived there.

Poor apes, they've become extinct long ago. Poor sabretooth is also dead, boo hoot. The dinosaurs have now been gone as well.

Disney's Tarzan will still continue, with future help from full 3D power!

Hello, last month I wrote a blog post about revealing the real possibility, of Disney's Tarzan outlasting (nearly, virtually all) the other versions into the future! 

Although Benito Gallego’s Edgy Pizazz and Glen Keane’s Fit Pizazz are still very different beasts, they do share a few things in common. 

Their spiritually eponymous literary ancestor character (yes, that’s the original Tarzan as he exists in what’s now called the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe canon) is mostly going to be known in the story universe as ‘Magnus John Clayton, the epic badass Viscount Greystoke’, indicating that he was both a Greystoke descendant and a slightly Norse lord of the jungle himself. This is due to various factors such as trademark issues and

Dear the Disney’s Tarzan fans, the Glen Keane formula can still be relevant for a long time, even in my pending adulthood.  

The rest won’t be written until approximately five years later, in September-October 2022.

Happy P.O.X day!

Hello. It's great to sure how legendary the silly name of this German punk band has become! The same foreign band is currently better known by its shortened name of P.O.X.

Last year: when I was searching the word 'pox' as in my now-dormant chickenpox, I only thought the word was about a moderate (but contagious) disease. My gamer thumbs did another thing: they searched hard for a foreign punk band. That would result in my accidental discovery of the same band bearing that name. It's also the first time the word 'pox' made me laugh a lot!

Now: I am starting to know more about the same band, its history and influence on the punk movement. I think the name's meaning is 'psychobilly orchestra X'.

1982 was a great year for a trio of outrageous men to form a psychobilly band. They are all German and working in Hanover, which is also the home of famed movie studios, particularly Constantin film. Since they founded the band together, they toured many parts of Europe until their retirement from public spotlight in 1991.

But that doesn't mean their band is officially 'dead'! I think P.O.X has lied dormant for seventeen years, till it got revived by the same men. During that time, they work in different places and have different jobs. However, it turns out that Slin Pox (aka Nils Enghusen) is the most resilient, because he left the group (early) to form another band called 'Celebrate the Nun' and after that; leading the German music school 'Fit In Music' in Garbsen, a town in the Hanover district.

Since their comeback in 2008, they now have a recent album featuring (their current trademark song) 'Don't Like Me', which tells their own tale of a hungry zombie who desires for elderly human brains! I believe this modern-day story is proved to be a rudely cautionary (black comedy) tale, because zombies are a good veteran subject when it comes to songs like this! Hum, the only album thing that I'm intolerant about, is that the album cover is just too bloody nuts..

A masterpiece waiting to be dubbed

Hello, I am telling you about one big masterpiece.

Here's the Chilean Mampato comic series: it has a time-travelling redhead boy teamed up with big nosed Ogu the caveman and green eyed Rena, a preteen flying saucer-driving alien rebel-feminist! I think that makes a surprising Latin American masterpiece, because Chileans prefer a hairy caveman with a full loincloth to a nearly hairless one with a small loincloth. 

Who is Ogu the caveman, what does he look like? Yes, Ogu does look like a hairy Fred Flintstone impression. But the main difference: unlike our more familiar Alley Oop who doesn't marry yet, he has a wife and a son! Guess what: their names are Tinalin and Agu.

Who is Rena, what does she look like? Yes, Rena does look like a green eyed tomboy Judy Jetson impression with feminist attitude! The main difference: she has dyed pink-white hair, tan skin and green eyes, making her perhaps a human saiyan hybrid. She may also be slightly younger than Judy.

The nasty food alphabet

Dear young foodies, which food is dangerous for you to eat?

African bullfrogs: this big frog beast from the African savannah is quite dangerous for you to eat, because it contains lots of toxins! I believe that many Africans like to eat the whole bullfrog as bush meat, that's why!

Blood clams: the blackish clam creature - from silty regions of the majestic Yangzi river - is notorious for you to eat, because it has a harbour of deadly diseases that can kill you, unless you're vaccinated.

Chimps: the chimpanzee is a wonderful animal to watch at a jungle park, because it dips the stick to pick termites as a snack and hunts the smaller animals (monkeys and duikers in particular) for lunch. But as you go too close, it gets mad on you and can rip your face off! You may also avoid the creature's bush meat, because it's full of nasty diseases.

Duikers: most duiker species (a favourite prey of the chimp) are primarily forest animals, even though a few of them are familiarly seen in the savannah. Beware, their meat may be full of nasty diseases. Oil palms and elephant grasses are two of the many foods they feed on.

Elephants: elephants as bush meat is what humans most loved to eat in the prehistoric times, because they're big and tough for many animals to hunt, but not so for them. Dammit, some Africans still eat elephants.

Gorillas: strong but gentle, gorillas are mostly peaceful animals lead by their silverback. Like chimps however, they face extinction due to some nasty diseases linked with the bush meat trade!

Monitor lizards: those large and smart lizards native to the tropics are typically infamous for their diversity of colour. Goanna and komodo are two of many names given to the lizards.

Pangolins: most African pangolin species are seen in the crowded jungle habitat, except for the ground pangolin which lives in the savannah. Like chimps and gorillas, most of those pangolins are endangered due to the bush meat trade!

Cool tv talent contest facts you will know!

Hello fans, I think Pop-stars and Idol have become legends, so what does it mean they have origins dating back further than expected?

1. The first Middle Eastern tv talent shows: the Middle East tv talent show sub-genre made Arab and Middle East history in the mid to late seventies, because it's probably an Algerian invention! I think according to an old edition (possibly a second edition, from 2000) of Rough Guide's Middle East/Europe music book, many talented stars from the seventies onwards have probably started their careers in some pioneering tv talent contests spoken in Arabic, that's interesting!

2. Many tv-made pop groups (regardless of nationality or language) have ironically short lives: why are many of the current pop-groups (you mean, pop groups created in a tv talent show) so crap and soulless? Is it because they use autotune and generate just as much controversy as their more natural elders, the Beatles and Monkees formula bands?

3. The first Indo-European tv talent shows, apart from English: oh dear, according to the DK/Kindersley's Spain book (my Tia Georgette owns this), it's ironic, the talent show genre currently dominates many Spanish-speaking pop music industries! I think the first non-Anglophone Western tv talent shows of the current generations (apart from Eurovision, which is surprisingly the oldest surviving such tv contest, although not a true one) may have been made in the seventies/eighties to nineties, regardless of continents and languages. I think Romania remains ahead of time when it comes to true television contests in as early as 1970, as is a large part of Germany in as early as the 1960s.

4. Many tv-made solo pop stars have surprisingly long careers: in their beginnings - like pop-groups made by tv, they entered a tv contest and sang song covers that are actually quite okay - even when you make a close up at their pretty wide-ranging qualities of singing and other talents, regardless of their profiles!

5. The first Asian/advanced tv talent shows: the Asian tv talent show genre unquestionably made history in the mid to late 80s, because I think it's probably a Japanese invention with a big twist. Being quite ahead for its original time, it can be split into a possible group of language-bound sub-genres (even though they need slightly more description) but only has three generations, because it gets bastardised fast!

6. Contestants dead or alive: even though the bounds between countries are kind of unworthy, the winning contestant (dead or alive) is in the top of a talent pyramid. Some notable contestants in some controversial talent shows could have been dead.

Netflix and chill!

Hello fans, welcome to the addictive world of Netflix!

Netflix is currently here at our home since this Autumn! It has a wide range of films and shows to offer.

Miniforce: the incredibly popular South Korean show has many dubs and is largely inspired by both Transformers and Power Rangers - and to some extent - Sonic the Hedgehog games (particularly the four title characters). This includes: Vietnamese, the English "test dub" (mostly seen on Youtube), Indonesian, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, and the TUTUM English dub (mostly seen on Netflix). Like most locally Korean-made "Aeni" exports, it is destined to become an instant classic.

G.O.R.A: Turkey's answer to Zathura, this time featuring a Turkish man captured by aliens! It's kinda crap, because it's made of crude cgi animation and the same human character who badly speaks English! Ironically, it has an equally successful sequel called A.R.O.G (this time it got a world first - being an unofficial film homage to Alley Oop!), because the actor (who is also a comedian) is big in Turkey.

Pajaros Volando: a worthy 2010 Argentinian film about an 'almost-becoming-a-hoax' alien encounter! This features a Spanish-speaking hippie community (played by comedians and actors) trying to encounter some UFO thing? It's in the end that the poncho-clad priest had only actually encountered it! Many hilarious moments include: the titular character playing a guitar and a funny lady teasing the men, as if they think her brown alien puppet (presumably E.T.) is alive!?

Dove shop laserdiscs

Hello

I went to the dove shop at Glenn Innes, looking for something amazing.
An NTSC coded Wayne's World 2 DVD is really amazing! I also saw a Hong Kong laserdisc, which is a huge CD or silver vinyl by the way!

It is a karaoke one, I believe it is made in 1993 by Hong Kong company Star Entertainment.
This is the first time I bought a laserdisc at a thrift shop!

Chic Chat, Kiwi cousin of Peppermint Park

Hello fans.

It's controversial but important at the same time that I want to define what is unintentionally creepy and disturbing even by today's standards!

Chic Chat: one of NZ’s less well known kids shows has been a permanent television archive resident for a long time.

Therefore, the only good videotape of it is known to exist in the archive itself.

This is because it probably has a current reputation for being awkward and gross to Kiwi kids with the host's puppets speaking in pirate accents!

Even though it has many differences to the equally notorious Peppermint Park, particularly the Scottish accented rodent star Willie McNabb and the show's decent puppeteer host Chic Littlewood, it shares something in common with it, gross and awkwardly embarrassing puppetry!

It probably ran for two years in the early 80s, when dad was a model. Peppermint Park came later, in 1987.

Peppermint Park was set in a defunct American theme park of the same name, while Chic Chat's setting was a fake afternoon backyard.

Marsupilami day, coming on January 31st!

Welcome to my site!

Let's celebrate 65 years after the marsupilami's first appearance into the comics on Jan 31st 1952. 

We found out that the best known marsupilami species had become widespread in South America, but now rarer in its native African land.

Happy 65th anniversary for the big break into pop culture!

What's a marsupilami community?

Welcome!

Marsupilamis are a fictional and mythical group of African monotremes. The best known member of this 7-strong family is the lesser marsupilami, which lives in many habitats from jungle to city and may have been introduced to South America in colonial times.

There are myths about marsupilamis, these are

1. Marsupilamis are monogamous or solitary: sometimes.

2. They are prone to laughter: no they ain't, as the Brazilian Portuguese intro for Disney's tv show fad proved.

3. The adult male is the lead: huh, this is not a sensual answer? I suggestively proved that a large middle aged female is the actual lead of a tangle, therefore she's the grand alpha poobah.

4. They swing through branches with tails, hang on vines, or swim: it ain't so in My Friend Marsupilami's first episode, "First Encounter"! It proved that a marsupilami can surf through the trees like Disney's Tarzan! This is possibly also true of the tangle's lead, who brachiates with arms.

What's a marsupilami community?

A marsupilami community is called a tangle, because a crowd of them would cram each other while bouncing through the jungle in a stampede.

There are many facts that even the most serious of fans can't talk about.

1. Marsupilamis are loyal neighbours but can be dangerous when provoked: yes, I saw that in my dreams last week! It is more likely that you'll be ripped in your face by a tangle of teenaged individuals who snarl at you, than by an out-of-work adult male or a big old female who tried to find a snack.

2. An alpha female is called a poobah: here she is! Myth tells that older males often beat their chests and can yell when excited, angry or nervous. But it ain't so for the reality, as the furry poobah proves that she can both yell and chest beat because she is their leader! The offspring are usually called pipsqueaks, because of their little size and are young in age.

3. They are cool at mimicry and vocabulary, but awkward in speech: this is the one thing that marsupilamis can do!
