The life of George, a young teenager guy, who many years ago after a plane crash, has been separated from his family in a jungle, where he has been taken by an ape that raises him and takes care of him, has been turned upside down when he rescues the life of a young beautiful queen, who takes him to live in New York, where he falls in love with.
The story is incidental -- the villain wants to abduct the talking ape for financial gain -- and thankfully the animatronics and computer effects aren't allowed to overwhelm the proceedings.
