Uptight New York City executive, Michael Cromwell, pursues his soon-to-be ex-wife to South America and returns home with the son he never knew he had—a boy raised in a tribal village in Brazil. Armed with only his blowgun, the 13-year-old Mimi-Siku discovers that the world outside his jungle home is indeed a strange place.

I love when a character is proud of their heritage! Mimi never let them change you!
if you put the [subtle] racism and misogyny aside, Jungle 2 Jungle isquiteendearing!
I will admit that I laughed when they showed the twin towers.

So does everyone in New York just so happen to have a bigger fear of spiders then gun violence?!
This was a forgotten childhood fav of mine that I’ve been reunited with.
