George of the Jungle (2007)

George is the titular main protagonist of the 1967 American cartoon George of the Jungle, both of its 1997 Disney movie, and its 2007 reboot with the same name.

While he was a good hero and a likable protagonist in the 1967 series and the 1997 Disney movie, sadly, he was badly flanderized in the 2007 reboot.

Why He Stopped Watching Out For That Tree

 * 1) He has gone from a bumbling, lovable, strong hero in the 1967 series, to an annoying, whiny, sulky, moronic and wimpy coward.
 * 2) Similar to  Patrick Star (seasons 6-8), Sheen Estevez (Planet Sheen) and Elvis Cridlington (seasons 6-present), he is now incredibly dumb beyond belief and has done a lot of stupid things. To name just a few examples:
 * 3) * In "Conehead", George gets a rash and must take pink medicine to cure it, but he refuses to and sings a song to his friends about why he thinks it’s good to scratch instead of taking medicine.
 * 4) *In "Trial By Science", he along with the others, abandon Ursula (Magnolia in season 2) in the jungle, and she slowly goes insane, only to reveal when she gets out that they were just distracting her from her birthday.
 * 5) *In "Meet Meat", he gets shocked when he finds out meat is made of animals, so he starts eating rocks.
 * 6) **George may have be dumb and bumbling in the original 1967 series and the two live-action movies, but not to this extent to the point that it gets incredibly irritating and frustrating to watch.
 * 7) Both Lee Tockar and Cory Doran did horrible jobs voicing him, especially in the second season, as both actors barely sounded like how Bill Scott originally voiced him in the 1967 cartoon.
 * 8) He is extremely immature and never acts his age, which got even worse in the second season. Worse still, by the second season he constantly speaks in third person way too often that it gets incredibly annoying.
 * 9) His design in the first season is terrible, as he is noticeably thin and scrawny, despite retaining his strength.
 * 10) *Not to mention, his face resembles Mr. Turner from The Fairly OddParents.
 * 11) He got worse in the second season, as he is now a literal manchild who speaks in third person with poor vocabulary. His design is the same (but was likely done to reflect his original 1967 appearance).

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He was a much better character in the original 1967 series and the 1997 movie, which makes his flanderization sadder.
 * 2) His design improved a little bit in the second season, as he now has a muscular build just like in the 1967 series, although it's mostly terrible.
 * 3) He still gives us funny moments.
