Tarzoon: Shame of the Jungle!

Deep in the African heart of the jungle, a wildly surreal tale unfolds around a cruel ruler who calls herself Queen Bazonga. Paule Emanuele inhabits a colossal blimp that hovers inside a cave carved to resemble a woman’s form, and she dreams of ruling the world. Her plan hinges on appearing formidable, so she pushes for a dramatic change: a full head of hair to command respect. To achieve this, she relies on a bizarre invention devised by her two-headed helper, the Charles of the Pits, a curious schemer who pressures Bazonga toward a risky “scalp transplant” experiment. The two-headed mastermind behind the operation, voiced by Roger Carel, promises that hair from another will give Bazonga the power she seeks, and the queen agrees with a gleeful, if monstrous, certainty.

The mission to obtain a perfect scalp hair begins with Bazonga’s unorthodox approach to expansion. She commands her army of peculiar soldiers—呼ling out a ruthless, almost ceremonial force—to seize June, the maid closely tied to Shame, the jungle’s reluctant ruler. June’s liberation becomes a spark in a tinderbox of ambition and desire: Bazonga wants her hair; Shame wants June back. In a scene that blends pulp fantasy with farce, June is captured after a night of raunchy revelry that unsettles the balance of power in their world. The story doesn’t shy away from the wild energy of these exchanges, but it keeps the focus on the quest and the relationships that drive the adventure.

Georges Aminel lends Shame a dangerous loyalty as he races to rescue June, only to find the plan complicated by chaos and circumstance. A key moment comes when Shame, aided by the loyal Flicka, pieces together a path through the perilous jungle. Their pursuit sets off a chain of frantic events that drag in a troupe of eccentric explorers who crash into the jungle’s edge in search of Shame’s whereabouts.

The explorers are a colorful quartet: the eccentric Professor Cedric Addlepate, the ditzy Stephanie Starlet, the fame-hungry Brutish, and his faithful assistant Short. The Professor, brought to life by Guy Pirauld, is a brilliant if scattershot scientist whose ideas teeter between genius and madcap. Stephanie Starlet, voiced by Laurence Badie, brings a buoyant, if scattershot, charm to the team. Brutish, played by Marc de Géorgi, is driven by the desire for recognition, even at the expense of others, while Short acts as a nervous foil to the troupe’s dynamic. As the explorers move deeper into the jungle, their disparate personalities collide and complicate every plan to link up with Shame and rescue June.

A dramatic crash occurs when their plane sinks into a vast mud pit, trapping the crew and freeing their own wild impulses. The group encounters a tribe of chained dangers, including the Molarman, a chaotic swarm of primates that adds danger at every turn. The Molarman quickly closes in, preying on the crew’s mistakes and testing their wits. In a sequence that blends slapstick with peril, the team’s efforts collide with the jungle’s merciless rhythm, and the plot thickens as they are pulled into Shame’s orbit.

Amid the turmoil, a beer-loving, carefree figure named Craig Baker appears, flying into the fray on a magical carpet pulled by a flock of birds. His offbeat, carefree humor and sudden heroism provide a much-needed pivot in the story. After a few missteps and a tumble from the enchanted ride, Shame and his new ally Flicka – a loyal companion – forge a nearer route toward Bazonga’s lair, even as danger closes in from every direction.

Shame finally reaches Bazonga’s stronghold, where a tense confrontation unfolds. Bazonga, furious at Shame’s insistence that he only desires June, unleashes a flood of security and defiance in a bid to draw him to her side. The lair itself becomes a living maze of danger as the blimp’s systems go haywire. The ceiling of the cave shakes as the main generator overloads and a fiery inferno sparks to life. In a moment of resourceful bravery, Shame lights up an Emergency Fire Alarm, triggering a cascade of chaotic reactions that force Bazonga’s soldiers to scramble for survival. The implosion of Bazonga’s control room signals a dramatic turning point, even as one of the two-headed schemers meets a fatal mistake that alters the balance of power inside the pit.

June is eventually freed as the chaos escalates. She and Shame scramble to escape through the collapsing machinery and flaming corridors, racing toward a way out that will take them away from Bazonga’s collapsing domain. The blimp itself, damaged and unpredictable, begins to drill a path through the cave walls, carving a dangerous route into the jungle below. A dramatic parachute escape becomes their last lifeline as the craft plummets, and the jungle beneath becomes their landing ground.

In the final ascent, Shame and June race for safety as the blimp crashes into Bazonga’s cave, reducing the fortress to rubble and signaling the end of Bazonga’s grasp on the region. The explosion ignites a final flash of transformation: Stephanie Starlet, who survived the chaos, rises as the unlikely new leader of the Molarman and plots a future that could rewrite the contours of the entertainment world itself. Their odyssey closes on a note of unresolved possibility, inviting audiences to imagine what comes next as June and Shame share a quiet moment of relief and mutual respect, their bond forged in a wild landscape where danger and wonder walk hand in hand.

This tale is a fearless blend of adventure and absurdity, anchored by a cast whose voices bring the outlandish characters to life. Each figure moves through a world that blends myth, satire, and a touch of pulp fantasy, inviting viewers to savour the strange humor and unexpected heart at the center of their quest. The result is a long, inventive journey that embraces the cautionary thrill of traveling through a jungle where every turn promises both peril and wonder, and where the unlikely heroism of Shame and the steadfast courage of June prove to be the story’s true heartbeat.
