JUNGLE BEAT:
THE MOVIE

Although production on Jungle Beat: The Movie begun in 2018, its themes of friendship, love and togetherness ended up being incredibly timeous with where we found ourselves in 2020 - in a global pandemic. Even the closing credits song “Together in This” written by Grammy Award winning songwriter Jonas Myrin and performed by the supremely talented Natasha Bedingfield was spot on with its encouraging and hopeful refrain “We are together, together in this, together we’re strong, and never alone. My brother, my sister, don’t give up on hope, it’s going to
get better, coz we are together!”  The film was selected for official competition at the world’s (incredible!) premiere animation festival - Annecy International Animation Festival, and also received wonderful reviews:  Screen International posted: “Group hugs and friendship are the most powerful forces in the universe, at least in Jungle Beat: The Movie. The first animated feature from Sandcastle Studios offers sweet, wholesome family fare that should win the approval of parents and hold the attention of younger viewers. An established fan base from fifteen years of the Jungle Beat television series and subsequent game provides the obvious target audience for an eager-to-please, good-natured affair.”
