New characters, including the brave but not exactly graceful Bunga, are sure to amuse young fans. The animation is lush and vibrant and reminiscent of the original. The musical numbers are delightful and catchy, particularly Bunga's "Zuka Zama," which plays like the 2015 version of "Hakuna Matata." The vocal talents bring the characters to life.
Bunga stops a gazelle stampede with a big old passing of gas heard and shown in all its green-hued glory. Kids will love it, of course, and it's certainly better than fighting turtles but between tarnishing memories of the original film and that shouting honey badger, Return of the Road won't encourage co-viewing among children and their parents.
