Jungle Beat the movie has just made us proudly South African | News Article

Nothing makes us more proud than watching an international animation and then finding out it was made right here in South Africa.


I chat to Rita Mbanga one of the producers of the film, Jungle Beat. She is from Sunrise Productions who are a proudly South African company and one of the teams involved in this incredible project. To find out more about them, visit: https://sunriseproductions.tv/



She tells us who all was involved in the creation of the feature film, how they went from an online TV series (which has 1 million subscribers) to an international release of a full-length animation and how Natasha Bedingield ended up singing the theme song. The song was not only inspired by the film’s themes of togetherness and friendship, but also the state of the world today, reminding us that although we may be apart, we’re never alone. Take a listen to the podcast below. 



The global release of the Jungle Beat movie was on the 26th of June and everyone is invited to watch it.  It is available to stream and download on Google Play, Apple TV, Prime Video & on DSTV Box Office. To watch the movie online visit: https://junglebeatthemovie.com/
