Jungle Boy

 

     Jungle Boy began as a short Van Partible submitted into the "What A Cartoon!" show in 1996, and made at Hanna Barbera Studios. The short, titled "Mr. Monkeyman," acted somewhat as a crossover between the "Bravo" universe and a new jungle environment with talking animals. 

     Jungle Boy is the story of a little boy raised in the jungle, that always seems to be in peril. Not unlike any boy raised by apes, Jungle Boy is always willing to help others in need and right all wrongs.  Leading the animals of the jungle is King Raymond, a jealous and egotistical ape, that yearns to be as well-liked as Jungle Boy. In efforts to tarnish Jungle Boy's reputation, King Raymond is often setting up obstacles or challenges for Jungle Boy to overcome. Somehow Jungle Boy always seems to outwit Raymond, which only leaves the king more angry.

 

     The short became segments in the Johnny Bravo series during the first season.
