Production
DevelopmentAfter the third season of the television series, TAT Productions announced the first animated film in the franchise, intended for theatrical release. A sequel was planned. The project involved Laurent Bru, Yannick Moulin, Benoît Somville, David Alaux, and Éric Tosti as screenwriter. The film was initially announced under the title "Les As De la jungle 2," but later changed its name to "Les As de la jungle 2: Opération tour du monde".
Screenplay
The screenplay was written by David Alaux and Éric Tosti. The script summarized that Maurice, Junior, Miguel, Gilbert, Batricia, Al, and Bob will travel the world, much like Willy Fog from Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days," with animals. The film made several references to "Around the World in 80 Days" and other world travel films, such as BRB Internacional "Around the World with Willy Fog". The film shows various homages to Jules Verne's "Around the World in 80 Days," such as characters and locations. In the film, Maurice is more similar to Willy Fog, Camelia the armadillo is more similar to Aouda, Gilbert, Junior, Batricia, Miguel, Al, and Bob are more similar to Jean Passepartout, and Henry the Beaver is more similar to Inspector Fix.
Animation
The film's animation was created by the same team as Pattie and the Wrath of Poseidon .
Score
The original score was composed by Olivier Cussac, who had already worked on the previous film and returned to compose the music for this film.
