Let's see..a land of little white people ruled over by an evil queen...where have I seen that story before?

Warning: Spoilers
And with lollipop guild leader Billy Curtis as one of the pygmy leaders, the similarities increase. This is the second to last Jungle Jim movie (minus that name because of legal issues concerning the character) and it is not an entry too late, for the plots have reached their nadir on this one. The pygmy's obviously are not either real pygmy's or moon men, just a band of little people living a jungle "Terror of Tiny Town" under the thumb of an evil high priestess searching for a high priest and using a poison with an anecdote ready to serve once she receives the package of her heart's desire. Billy Curtis, as the captured pygmy, is treated with little respect, used as entertainment and patronizing condescension by the oh too adorable chimpanzees Kimba. You know you're considered the lowest of the low when you're the prop of a monkey! Kimba is talented, but if he (or she) could be trained to roll her eyes back because of the outrageously bad story, then he (or she) would be worthy of an Oscar!
