Shin Chan Movie Bungle In The Jungle Story
Shin-chan and his parents, along with Shiro, their dog, and their friends and their families, embarked on a memorable cruise that was supposed to last for several days. The main purpose of this cruise was to meet their favorite actor, Action Mask. The excitement was palpable as they set sail on this grand adventure.
However, fate had something unexpected in store for them. During their voyage, a band of mischievous monkeys unexpectedly raided the ship. In a bizarre twist, all the middle-aged men and women above 18 years of age were taken hostage and transported to a mysterious island under the cover of night.
The story takes an intriguing turn when the movie begins with the perilous situation of Mimiko Sakura, who finds herself at the mercy of a man who happens to be Action Mask's arch-nemesis. Action Mask, the hero of many, arrives on the scene just in the nick of time to rescue her. However, the adversary proves to be incredibly powerful, rendering Action Mask unconscious and leaving the outcome hanging in suspense.
For Shin-chan, who was eagerly watching this captivating part of the movie on TV, this sudden cliffhanger was a disappointment. The TV broadcast left viewers at the edge of their seats, promising to reveal the rest of the story only to those who embarked on the same cruise. Shin-chan couldn't contain his curiosity and immediately decided to approach his mother for answers. This signified the commencement of their journey.
In the second part of the story, Shin-chan and his friends, Kazama, Masao, Nene, and Bo-chan, found themselves on the cruise ship. They reclined on swimming chairs, soaking in the sun and eagerly discussing their anticipation for the upcoming adventure. Meanwhile, their parents occupied their seats, engaging in lively conversations. They couldn't help but wonder how Bo-chan's mother had managed to send him on this cruise alone.
Amidst the cheerful atmosphere, Shin-chan's father lay on a seat, engaged in a spirited exchange with Misae, Shin-chan's mother. Their spirited argument drew the attention of other passengers, leaving Hiroshi, Shin-chan's father, muttering about his request for a peaceful vacation.
As the cruise continued towards its mysterious destination, the excitement and tension grew. The promise of meeting Action Mask and uncovering the thrilling conclusion of the movie fueled their anticipation. Little did they know that this cruise would lead them to unexpected adventures, challenges, and a memorable encounter with their idol, Action Mask.
