The Happiness of the Katakuris (2015)

The Jungle Beat animals think it’s the best thing ever when an alien arrives in the jungle bringing with him the power of speech. They also surprisingly think it’s the best thing ever when they find out that he’s been sent to conquer them.

Viewers find there is no clear representation of any minorities, as many actors are white men. Though women are cast as female animals, they only play minor roles. They also see that all of the characters are jungle animals, except the purple alien.

The main topics and themes of Jungle Beat are species. As seen in many scenes, viewers easily distinguish the two different groups: the jungle animals and the aliens. The jungle animals live in the jungle habitat, and the aliens live in outer space. The jungle animals know nothing about space and technology, as they never experienced technology in their habitat.
