Kangaroo Jack: G'Day U.S.A.! (also known as Kangaroo Jack 2 or Kangaroo Jack 2: G'Day U.S.A.!) is an animated sequel to 2003's Kangaroo Jack that is directed by Emory Myrick and Jeffrey Gatrall (time director). It was produced by Warner Bros. Animation and sister company Castle Rock Entertainment and was distributed by Warner Bros. and released direct-to-video in 2004.
The movie takes place some time after the first film. The sequel's protagonists - Charlie Carbone, his wife Jessie and his best friend Louis Booker - travel to Australia once again and it is up to them to save the animals of the outback from danger by poachers along with the help of their old friend Jackie Legs, the kangaroo character from the original film.
He is an anthropomorphic rapping kangaroo who had a previous encounter with Charlie Carbone and Louis Booker from the original film (though the sequel is usually canon). An animal with a love for candy, he is a friend to Charlie, Jessie, and Louis, and he is currently living in the Australian outback along with his family.
Jackie's voice (speaking and non-speaking) is provided by Jeff Bennett (Adam Garcia in the movie, uncredited).
Charlie Carbone is the stepson of Salvatore Maggio (who appears briefly in a picture on the news in the movie). He is married to Jessie, another character from the original film. He is long-time friends with Louis Booker, whom he and Charlie encounter Jackie Legs. He often takes things seriously and is currently selling a new shampoo alongside Louis.
Charlie is voiced by Josh Keaton.
Louis Booker is slightly chubby, slightly slow-witted and is the closest one to Jackie Legs. He is Charlie Carbone's best friend who enjoys adventuring yet he often seems to attract bad luck. Louis has a farting problem.
