The movement in George of the Jungle, for the most part, is sped up and exaggerated to look cartoonish both for comic effect and to pay tribute to the movies source material. There are few scenes that break away from this style but one of the most notable is the scene in which George is calming the horse while the women admire him. This is one of the few scenes that does not have the cartoonish style of movement, and, except for the two men asking, "what's with chicks and horses" the scene is devoid of comedy. The scene cuts between George, running with the horse, and the women drooling over him from behind the fence. When George and the horse are being shown, he is moving in slow motion, but when it cuts back to the women they are moving at normal speed. George's slowed movements symbolize how the women are idolize as a hunky wild man who is far different from the men they are used to meeting. The slowed motion also represents the peace that George brings to the horse by calming him down.
The scene is about 20 seconds into the video:
He is actually playing with the horse. Where the horse goes, he goes, in slow motion I might add. Further, the white shirt and the white horse complement each other. George's hair is like a mane, etc. He is one with the horse.
