[edit] Plot
5 years after socialite Ursula Stanhope left civilization to marry George, George finds himself father to George Jr. and stressed at having to juggle the role of jungle king, father, and husband. George's stress level increases when the Mean Lion challenges him for leadership of the jungle, and Ursula's mother Beatrice teams up with Ursula's ex-fiance Lyle in a plot to forcibly take away all that George holds most dear.
[edit] Trivia
A running joke in the film is the fact that George is not being played by Brendan Fraser like he was in the first film. As a result, several jokes are made at Fraser's expense. One example is "Me new George, studio too cheap to hire Brendan Fraser."
Charlie's Angels is parodied during a scene where Ursula and her friends pick up their towels. They are referred to as "Angels" by Charlie.
