There appears to be no on-screen credit for the voice actors at the end of an episode. There are credits for producers, directors, animators, background design, etc but no voices. I am seeing this on the home video release, but are the episodes there any different than the original broadcast versions? Jszigeti ( talk) 11:14, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
I changed the part about Weird Al writing the show's theme, because he did not write it. He was 8 at the time the show first aired.
While the film version just has Ursula (Stanhope), the cartoon had Bella AND Ursula. I believe they were identical. The theme song ran "away he'll schlep on his elephant Shep, while Bella and Ursula stay in step". I don't remember enough about the characters to edit this, but I'm gonna have to buy the DVDs soon. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PurpleChez ( talk • contribs) 02:40:55, August 19, 2007 (UTC).
The lyric IS "Bella and Ursula", because Ursula (whom is referred to as "fella") has an evil twin named Bella who appeared in some episodes.
Here's a quote from a discription of the show: http://listing-index.ebay.com/movies/George_of_the_Jungle.html
"George is supported by his playmate interests Bella and Ursula (attractive identical twin young women with the voices of June Foray ), his sapient gorilla friend Ape (Paul Frees ), who is more intelligent than George (and sounds remarkably like Ronald Colman ); and his pet elephant, Shep, who acts more like a lap dog, or, as George calls him, "big peanut-eating doggie".
and of the 1997 film: ...."In this movie, the notion of Bella and Ursula was scrapped, and fused into one female, played by Leslie Mann and much more of a Jane-type girlfriend to George. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.157.192.22 ( talk) 16:37, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
You are right. I bought the original series on DVD and watched it in it's entirety, including the un-aired pilot. There is no mention of any twin, and the lyric in all three versions of the original song (the episode opening, the segment opening, and the closing credits version) is clearly "Fella and Ursula". So unless there was some other, later version of the show, a twin named Bella or Fella never existed. I am absolutely sure of it.

I think we should make a different article for the 2007 series. Uknownson ( talk) 00:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

It should be mentioned that in a Tom Slick cartoon, one of the racers is a Canadian Mountie called Roy L. Mountie, whose character design became the look of Dudley Do-Right. 2001:1970:5EE8:2CF1:8DB6:B0D9:B1D4:49AF ( talk) 13:39, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
The article currently asserts that George's appearance was inspired by weightlifter George Eiferman. There are scores of citations online for this, but most of them lead back to this article. I haven't found any authoritative basis for this claim. I don't want to delete it without proof to the contrary, but I have to say that I'm skeptical. Jhlechner ( talk) 15:00, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
