sorry for the mistakes
Shame of the jungle
I have to admit my faults. I don't really like, to say the least, adult
animated films and when I come across one of them, I watch it with
great interest and enthusiasm.
It creates great expectations for this genre. So it was also for this
1975 Franco / Belgian cartoon by Picha and Boris Szulzinger, presented
at Cannes and then became a great international success above all
thanks to the English version, censored, which features the voices of
Bill Murray and John Belushi and other heroes of the Saturday Night
Show.
As you can easily guess, this is the Tarzan parody, something that the
heirs of Edgar Rice Burroughs did not particularly like, that is, the
author of the well-known novel either for the mockery, and for the
"obscenities" present. It is no coincidence that the international
version is titled "Shame of the jungle".
Now, with all these premises, the voices of famous people, the
obscenities, the parody, "Tarzoon" really has my full attention. And
the beginning of this work proves to deserve it. The beginning. Only
that though. Because minute by minute, more than the "honte de la
jungle" is "ennui de la jungle" that is, the boredom of the jungle. You
see walking penises, boobs, naked women, you hear dirty jokes (mostly
from the school) but nothing that makes me understand why this cartoon
was a great success. And nothing that makes me feel empathy for that
jerk (said in positive terms) Tarzoon. Only a great boredom.
The story tells of Queen Bazonga (her name is that of the original
version) who wants to conquer the world, but she is bald and ashamed
for this state. Then she kidnaps June to scalp her. It is obviously up
to the inept Tarzoon to redeem himself and save her beauty.
