Jungle Trouble swings into the cinema with wild-hearted charm and a roar of laughter, delivering a family-friendly animated adventure that’s as touching as it is thrilling. Directed by Behnoud Nekooei, the film follows young superhero-obsessed Mohsen, who stumbles into a lush, unpredictable jungle during a family picnic - and straight into the paws of Tigy, a rare talking tiger on the run from bumbling animal traffickers. Voiced with warmth and wit by Alireza Dibaj (The Last Fiction), Tigy becomes both guide and friend as the duo embarks on a daring escape mission. Hooman Haji Abdollahi (The Ascendants) lends comic flair as one of the hapless poachers, while Mahsa Erfani brings heart to Mohsen’s worried mother.
Visually, the film dazzles with vibrant, beautiful, hand-drawn-inspired animation and kinetic action sequences that keep the jungle alive with energy. Beneath the laughs and chases lies a resonant message about bravery, friendship, and stepping beyond your comfort zone. Critics have praised Jungle Trouble as “a riotous, big-hearted romp” and “a standout in this year’s animated slate”. With its blend of humor, heart, and high-stakes hijinks, it’s a great deal of fun for audiences of all ages.
