Kangaroo Jack

Kangaroo Jack is the titular character of the Warner Brothers film series. He was voiced by Adam Garcia and Jeff Bennett.

Why He Likes Hopping

 * 1) While he is wasted in the first movie, he is still cute and funny.
 * 2) He was given a lot more screen-time in the sequel. On top of that, he is the actual protagonist.
 * 3) Adam Garcia and Jeff Bennett voiced him quite well and Frank Welker provided his vocal effects.
 * 4) He is a lot more likable than Charlie and Louis, which says something.
 * 5) For the first movie’s DVD, he provided hilarious scene by scene commentary.
 * 6) He sings rap music very well. He sang “Rapper’s Delight” and LL Cool J’s “Mama Said Knock You Out”.
 * 7) Unlike the other characters in the first movie, he doesn’t indulge in innuendos.
 * 8) He can do boxing and kick his enemies.
 * 9) He is considered a memorable fictional kangaroo despite how wasted he was in the first movie.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He had little screentime in the first movie with only 7 minutes. The only times he talked in that movie is a dream sequence and the very end.
 * 2) Executive meddling: Down and Under started off as an R-rated mob comedy but producer Jerry Bruckheimer decided to retool the film into a PG-rated family friendly talking animal movie.
 * 3) Him saying “chicken blood” repeatedly in the dream sequence is kind of creepy.
 * 4) He can try too hard to appeal to kids who grew up in the early 2000s.

Trivia

 * In the first movie, Jackie Legs was originally going to be animatronic but he got replaced with a CGI model.
