Jungle Junction is a UK-produced CGI animated children's show that began airing in the United States and parts of Europe in 2009. It features anthropomorphic animals "with wheels instead of feet" who cruise around a hidden jungle with its own town square and highway system. Like other shows on the Disney Channel's weekday morning Playhouse Disney (now Disney Junior) segment, it is aimed at younger viewers and includes portions in which the characters ask the viewing audience to help them solve a simple problem. An example would be, "which road takes me to the waterfall? ... The one marked by a sign with a picture of a waterfall on it? Yes, of course!"As should probably be expected, there is no elaborate storyline to this show, and a new viewer does not need to know anything about the characters or setting beyond what is explained in the theme song. The animal-cars simply spend each episode cruising through the jungle, discovering new things and solving random problems they encounter along the way. In one episode, they find a special tree with a tap on it that produces bouncy balls, then forget to turn the tap off in their excitement, and must fight their way back up the now ball-covered road to fix their mistake. Sometimes these episodes include an Aesop — in this case, a statement on conservation, as the bouncy ball tree wilts from overuse — but more often than not, they just highlight the importance of friendship and working together.The characters who are most frequently seen include: Zooter, a two-wheeled sow who works as a messenger. Ellyvan, an elephant-van hybrid who delivers goods and is Zooter's best friend. Bungo, who is... um... a long-eared animal with a striped tail of some kind (The show calls him a "bunny", though, and he loosely resembles a Sumatran striped rabbit). Anyway, he makes all of the jungle's road signs. | |

Misplaced Wildlife | |
| Jungle Junction / int_17a45ff5 | comment |
Misplaced Wildlife: Boars may be native to jungles, but pink pigs like Zooter certainly aren't. Some cattle, such as banteng, are native to jungles, but, for a children’s show, it’s a strange setting for a bull like Dozer. The cast of characters also features a crab, which is generally an aquatic creature, and a koala, which is a species that doesn't share territory with rhinos or elephants. | |

| Jungle Junction / int_4cbc7f61 | comment |
Misophonia Gag: "Ellyvan's Boing-Boing Blues" revolves around Ellyvan becoming very annoyed after Zooter learns she can make a "boing" noise with her tail, to the point that he can't sleep. | |

May It Never Happen Again: In "Elevan's Boing Boing Blues", Zooter annoys Elevan by making a "Boing!" noise (that she initially intended to make while making deliveries). At the end, she promises to only make the noise while making deliveries, so she won't annoy him again. | |

Mix-and-Match Critters: An abnormal example of this trope, in that there is no mixing of two different animals, just animals mixed with machinery. And, then there's Bungo. He's supposed to be some sort of rabbit, but, what rabbit has a long striped tail? | |
