Jungo (also known as Jungledyret Hugo and Jungle Jack) is a Danish-Canadian animated children's series, produced by TV2, Egmont Imagination, and the Ocean Group. It follows a rare jungle animal named Jungo, his friend Rita the fox and human named Charly, as they try to find a new home away from anywhere humans could capture Jungo.

Plot

The series begins directly after the ending of the 1996 animated film "Jungledyret Hugo 2 - den store filmhelt", with Jungo and Rita reaching freedom on a train headed towards a city. Jungo decides to return to the jungle, with Rita tagging along. On the way, they meet Charly, who returns from the 1993 film "Jungledyret Hugo", and General Maximus, a character new to the franchise, who made Jungo the idol of a new country made in his home (named Junglandia). Upon arriving, they realise that it isn't how Jungo remembers it, with rain constantly falling. Eventually, they end up working at a circus. There they meet a troll who promises to teach them magic in return for taking him back home to the North Pole. Eventually, they make it to the North Pole, but Jungo and Rita are left behind in the blizzard, as the troll leaves. As they sleep, they once again get captured. However, shortly after, Charly rescues the two. The three decide to move to an island, with Charly guiding them.

All that is available are the credits, a demo reel from Jonathan Love, and a dead link to a trailer It's possible there was a recast sometime during production, however it is neither confirmed or denied by the dubbing studio.
