GEORGE OF THE JUNGLE EDIT LIST:
NAT SOUND: CARTOON SONG
NARRATOR: IT WAS A HIT CARTOON SERIES IN THE 60S AND NOW DISNEY PICTURES IS HOPING IT WILL BE A HIT MOVIE IN THE 90S.

NAT SOUND: MOVIE CLIP
NARRATOR: FOR THOSE WHO DONT REMEMBER - THE CAMPY CARTOON FEATURES A RATHER KLUTZY KING OF THE APES.(:07)
NAT SOUND: WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE OR HITTING TREE.
SOT: BRENDAN FRASIER (GEORGE) 15:24:02:00 Jay Ward Production had seventeen episodes produced between sixty seven and seventy one. It ran on ABC. He was, of coarse, famous for his subversive humor and the voice talent that he cast were largely taken from a pool of Borsht-belt comedians. 15:24:23:00 (:21)
BUTT CUT: REPORTER DAN BENNETT. 15:24:41:00 Is that what you were looking for here too, kind of to add some under belly to the character more than just the broad stuff? 15:24:49:00 (:08)
SOT: BRENDAN FRASIER 15:24:49:00 My job in that regard was to absorb or be inspired by the animated shorts - treat them like short films - and then translate it to a live action character and create the difference between a cartoon and a real man, give him a heart and soul and at the same time be allowed to make very broad choices 15:25:09 (:20)
NARRATOR: IN THIS LIVE ACTION COMEDY GEORGE FALLS IN LOVE WITH SAN FRANSISCO ARISTICRATE URSULA STANHOPE. (:10)
SOT: LESLIE MANN (URSULA) 18:44:40:00 The reason I like the movie is because its innocent and its smart and sweet and it has a really good romance side to it 18:44:50:00 (:10)
NARRATOR: PARALLEL TO THE ROMANCE IS A DASTARDY DRAMA. GEORGES BEST FRIEND AND ROOMMATE APE GETS KIDNAPPED BY POACHERS. (:08)
NAT SOUND - APE MOVIE CLIP 3:49 BAD GUY #1 There are five apes out there, which one are we taking to Vegas? APE Check mate BAD GUY #2 The one whos playing chess. 4:02 (:13)
NARRATOR: VETERAN COMEDY ACTOR JOHN CLEESE GAVE APE HIS WIT, BUT HE WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE BY THE SKILL OF AN ACTOR IN A CAREFULLY CRAFTED APE SUIT AND SPECIAL ANIMITRONICS DESIGNED BY JIM HENSON CREATURE SHOP. (:13)
SOT DAVID BARRINGTON HOLT (CREATIVE SUPERVISOR): 23:58:59:00 We create a mechanical head which is based entirely around the performance area close to his face. Hes surrounded by little motors and mechanisms to operate the face. 23:59:09:00 (:10)
BUTT CUT
23:59:11:00 We build a muscle suite that bulks him up. 23:59:14:00 (:03)
BUTT CUT
23:59:18:00 We make artificial arm extensions that make his arms longer, then we create a hair suit that goes over that muscle suit. 23:59:25:00 (:07)
BUTT CUT
23:59:27:00 and of coarse we have to make hands for him. 59:29:00 (:02)
BUTT CUT
23:59:39:00 we make feet for him 23:59:41:00 (:02)
23:59:53:00 so there are a whole bunch of pieces that go together to make up an ape costume. 23:59:58:00 (:05)
NARRATOR: THE HENSON COMPANY ALSO CREATED SEVERAL OTHER ANIMATRONIC PUPPETS TO ADD TO THE FILMS DAZZLING SPECIAL EFFECTS. (:08)
NARRATOR: HOLLYWOOD MAGIC ALSO CAME INTO PLAY WITH GEORGES FAMOUS TREEHOUSE AND SURROUNDING JUNGLE. THEY WERE CONTRUCTED IN A SEVEN HUNDRED FOOT HIGH AIRPLANE HANGER IN MARINA DEL RAY. THE MASSIVE SET WAS STOCKED WITH OVER FIFTY TYPES OF PLANTS AND VARIOUS WILD LIFE
(:18)
SOT: DAVID OBERMAN(PRODUCER): 23:55:45:00 It was built on wood and concrete and then filled with sand the entire thing! I mean it was like an entire football field long and high trees and psychs and we were in there for two months and literally felt like we were in a jungle. 24:56:04:00 (:19)
NARATOR: THIS LARGER THAN LIFE ADVENTURE WAS ALSO FILMED ON LOCATION IN HAWAII AND IN SAN FRANSCISCO, HOWEVER THE TRAVEL BUDGET ALSO INCLUDED ANOTHER LOCATION.THE HEART OF AFRICA .NOT CONTINENTS AWAY BUT THE ONE AT THE SAN DIEGO WILD ANIMAL PARK. (:15)
NARRATOR: IT WAS THE CLEAVER LOCATION FOR THE FILMS PREMIERE.
FOR THE EVENT, DISNEY CONSTRUCTED A GIANT OUTDOOR THEATER AT THE PARK. (:09)
NARRATOR: GUESTS ALONG WITH THE STARS OF THE FILM TRAVELD ABOARD A SPECIAL TRAIN FROM LOS ANGELES. (:06)
NAT SOUND: ABOARD TO TRAIN
NARRATOR: AFTER SPENDING TIME WITH THE ANIMALS AND PARTYING IN THE PARK, IT WAS SHOW TIME. (:05)
SOT: ABRAHAM BENRUBI (THOR THE BAD GUY) 02:29:57:00 Its really good. Its jut really good. Im a little giddy over it. Lots of fun for young and old - go see it. 02:30:07:00 (:10)

My bad, the script (on the right) was given to me for a class. The teacher spelled the name wrong on purpose to see if we would notice because as the role of an editor its important to notice the little things. I must have uploaded the wrong version because I fixed the mistake but not in the one thats upload. Thanks for noticing, watching and commenting!
