Kangaroo Jack Soundtrack

As the title suggests, the adventurous kangaroo christened Jackie Legs by his human friends has left his Outback habitat for the United States, although not voluntarily. The humans have cleaned up their act in this animated sequel to the 2003 live-action movie. Gone are the violence and all but a smidgen of potty humor, as once again Louis puts his beloved Brooklyn jacket on the runaway Jackie. But this time the clothed marsupial is bouncing through the streets of Vegas, thanks to the smuggling plot of a smarmy animal-act proprietor. (Think a criminally minded Crocodile Hunter with a Siegfried and Roy-like show.) Louis is joined by pal Charlie and his sister Jessie in a Scooby-Doo-style effort to figure out the real crime (the smuggling of ancient Aboriginal jewels), track down Jackie, and return him to his family. Along the way there's some kickboxing, a rap number, and plenty of slapstick humor. (Ages 5 to 11) --Kimberly Heinrichs
