Jungle Shuffle - An Animated Movie with Coatis

It was brought to my attention in the comments of an older post that an animated feature film starring coatis is a thing now. Jungle Shuffle isn't the greatest, but I always root for little animation studios that try their hand at a big project like a full length film. Available on Netflix, Jungle Shuffle is about a rambunctious young coati named Manu who keeps messing things up. When his girlfriend Sacha is captured by a human, its up to him to rescue her and the typical sidekicks and antics of a bunch of cartoon animals vs bad humans ensues. At first I thought, "That's awesome! A cartoon with coatis!" Then I was kinda glad that the film wasn't really that great. If the film was any good and became popular coati might've become the fashionable pet-of-the-week for a little while.
