Ape

Ape is George's well-Educated best Friend. He is voiced by John Cleese.

Role in the film
Ape lives with George, Shep, Tookie, and all the other animals in the jungle. When George first brought Ursula back to the treehouse, she is terrified of him until George tells her that he's harmless. At first, Ursula is shocked to find that Ape can talk. However, she eventually adjusts to it.

When George starts to fall in love with Ursula, he enlists Ape's help to seduce her. He tells George that he should use the same mating technique as a gorilla. But, these attempts did not impress Ursula.

Later on, Tookie flies to San Francisco to tell George that Ape has been captured by Max and Thor. George returns to Africa and tries to fight off Max and Thor. Unfortunately, Ape is taken away to Las Vegas.

During the end credits, Ape orders that the credits stop so that the audience can find out what happened to him. It turns out he has become a major singing star. Before the credits resume, he sings My Way by Frank Sinatra.
