'Jungle' by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding

While Vince gets into the Mod scene, setting his sights on the title of Über Mod, Howard is missing his hero, Tommy Nookah, the cheese-obsessed original owner of the Zoo-Niverse, who is believed to have been eaten by ocelots. When the current owner, Dixon Bainbridge, announces his plan to sell the Zoo-Niverse so that developers can build a road over it, Howard vows to track down Tommy, convinced that he is still alive and able to reclaim ownership of the zoo. When Vince asks Naboo for help, the crafty shaman leaves Tommy’s amulet by the entrance to the Jungle Room, pointing the way for Vince and Howard’s rescue mission. The two friends break open the Jungle Room, but after seven minutes they are completely lost. Splitting up after an argument, Vince meets a mysterious jazz fusion guitarist with many names (although he prefers Rudy), who gives him directions and a magic flute; elsewhere, Howard finds Tommy, now completely out of his mind and with a head hideously deformed from his excessive cheese intake. After being reunited with Vince, Howard and Tommy rush back to the Zoo-Niverse – only to come face-to-face with a pack of frightening Mod Wolves. Can they get back to the zoo in time to stop Dixon’s deal from going through..?
