24 Reasons The Jungle Book & Dawn of The Planet of The Apes are The Same Movie

"Way down in the jungle deep, the lion step on the signified monkey's feet" (Dolemite quote). Despite what Disney movies may have you believe, the jungle is far more dangerous than any inner city neighborhood. I mean, c’mon, this is the same place Bambi momma got killed. This movies about a effect on a dude when he isn’t raised in a same species household basically In the beginning, the animals live peacefully in their little siloed community and everything seems normals. But one day at an HOA meeting, they’re discussing their agenda and it kinda catches you off guard because you understand their every word without the movie having to use subtitles. At one of their meetings we find out that the villain hates humans because of human work aka humans always use weapons to get their point across. And I get it, humans exercise their rights to bear arms a little too much sometimes, but that’s a pretty hypocritical thing to say in this movie considering the whole animal vs. manimal dynamic is nothing compared to the amount of times we see animals attacking animals in this movie. For example, One day in the woods the kid finds a bear and a fight breaks out. Everything goes downhill when more monkeys jump in and give the bear concussion like symptoms. Plus the animals are clearly the aggressor at the part where they find the man in the woods and their idea of a fair fight is one against a lot. Big picture is it’s unfair to generalize a species based off of a couple of dude’s tendencies and what sucks is the characters that are smart enough to notice and realize that humans and animals can co exist, they're shunned by their peers and accused of treason. Later on, we take a trip to a city of ancient ruins. And the leader monkey gets an opportunity to speak to mankind face to face and it’s like a you scratch my back I scratch yours kinda thing. See man has firepower (audio) And the monkey wants it. One of the main characters goes on a recon mission to the ancient ruins, to see what his enemies are up to. The villain later overhears a conversation and because of his deeply rooted feelings about mankind, he’s blinded by hatred like Harry Potter in the 6th movie and we get some tension. After the recon mission, one of the animals steps up to the leader of the pack and he’s like, I really think it’s time for the humans to go home. And those be fighting words in the jungle so he gets his buttocks handed to ‘em and he gets an African American eye. But don’t worry, you should see the other guy. Next, see this is why I have trust issues. One of the characters tricks the little kid into trusting him and it’s clear to the audience he has ulterior motives, but the little kid just doesn’t know no better and goes along for the ride. The films starts sprinkling some underlying themes here and there and there’s a part where the main characters go shopping for some bear necessities. The message here is, man wasn’t meant to live off apple products alone, but instead (audio). That whole survival of the fittest crap is BS or whatever and it’s the friendships between different members of the animal kingdom and human race that is the true key to our survival. That’s what I got from it at least. Or I’m probably digging too deep and it was just an excuse to get a dance break with a 60s rock band reference thrown in there. Fast forward some, and just like Smokey the Bear warned us about, only we could prevent forest fires, sadly animals can't, so the jungle is on fire. The good animal has a near death experience and everybody think’s he’s dead. But before his beneficiary could cash the life insurance check, they catch him blinking. Eventually, everybody who ever crossed the good guy gets what they deserve. The characters living in the city of ancient ruins becomes homeless when the leader tries to kamikazes himself and the building collapses on him. And later, all the animals gang up on the animal guy who hates humans and he gets what he deserves too. In the end, the main character has a honey in the one hand and a life lesson in the other which is confusing by the way and contradicts all the earlier lessons the movie tried to teach us. See man and animals aren’t meant to live together. One’s on the top of the food chain and the other thinks they are. I’m not saying which is which, but they could probably bring that up if they ever decide to do a sequel. Those are 24 reasons these movies are the same. You agree? Yes, no, maybe so?
