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.
10. He takes good care of his wife and son.

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. This may have been a good thing due to the movie doing well at the box office and that a more family friendly animated sequel was made.
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.
5. His CGI is kind of ugly, especially when he talks.

Trivia

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