[edit] Overview
The series is set on the fictitious Junglie Island, an island somewhere near Africa.[1] Each episode follows the adventures of several anthropomorphised animals called the Junglies, all of whom are portrayed as young children.[2]
A total 13 episodes were made, and aired between 1992 and 1993 exclusively in the United Kingdom, some of which were released straight-to-video.[3] However, the series has never been released on DVD.
It is now being featured in the US on the BabyFirstTV channel.
