Un indien dans la ville (An Indian in the city) is a 1994 French film directed by Hervé Palud. The film had a limited English language release under the title Little Indian, Big City.
Un indien dans la ville was later adapted for an American audience under the title Jungle 2 Jungle (1997), set in Manhattan and starring Tim Allen and Martin Short. A tie-in video game for the Game Boy was released only in France.
Un indien dans la ville opened in France on 14 December 1994. Shortly after its release in France, Disney saw this film as a possibility to attract a family audience in the United States and considered giving it a limited release in select cities. Before releasing it in select cities, Disney decided to release it under their Touchstone Pictures label as they felt this film had some mature themes for an ordinary Disney film.
As opposed to releasing it in the United States with subtitles leaving the original French dialogue in, Disney hired many cartoon voice-over actors to dub the original French dialogue out and substitute it with an English language format. They also gave the film an English name, Little Indian, Big City. Under its new Americanized title and language dubbing, Touchstone released it to a select American audience on March 22, 1996.
