This show will forever be in my head because the first time I discovered it I was in the hospital I had an asthma attack or something and was rushed there in the middle of the night I remember I drank one of those hospital orange juices while watching it I don’t remember anything other than the song

[@togekip0085]

Same experience here except it was with the first few episodes of Magic School Bus when I was younger

[@sorrybarley7509]

I was also in the hospital when I first saw Jungle Junction! In my case, I was 11-12 and had been there for a while. I saw the show on TV when I was half asleep. Sometime later, I had a fever dream where I was so passionate about the show that I cried. Never saw it again after that, but hopefully one day soon!

When I was a kid, I remember going to the hospital cause of an ear infection (the doctors had to clean out my ear cause of the infection) but I remember they had a tv where the kids who stayed there could watch something while they waited and no joke the show they had playing was Jungle Junction and ever since then. Kid me watched every single episode- I hope Disney adds it to Disney plus soon.

The entire world building of Jungle Junction is basically _The Island of Dr. Moreau_ if Dr. Moreau becomes a mechanic instead of a mad scientist. This explained how the animals got their limbs replaced with wheels and other vehicle parts.

the only things i remember about the show were an episode where elevan was shrinking and they had to stop him from vanishing from getting too small, there was this one scene where the beetle bugs were dreaming about fictional fruit that i wanted to try for some reason and this one gag where bungo tries to say the word cleverer; also bungo was my favorite character for some reason

Happened to find a different vid of yours on my recommended feed and fell down a rabbit hole, you're the exact brand of eccentric, analytical, and relaxed that I admire not only in creatives but in people.

It makes me feel comfortable and safe, like I'm a teddy bear with a camera inside it keeping an eye on the coolest slumber party ever. Watching you jam out to the theme song and add some mildly-drunk commentary to this animal car show has been nothing short of a delight.

I told my Mom that the crab bartender was my favorite and that's probably where I got the interest in bartending, then she corrected me saying he made smoothies.
