help finding an animated movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've recently been thinking about a movie that i saw as a small child. all these websites and not one has helped me in any way with this! it's a movie with animated animals, this is a pre-2000's movie. i don't believe it's disney in any way shape or form. i have a vague memory of it so i'll try to describe as best as i can. it's about a character set in some grungy london type place, very dirty dark city looking place, and a baby was just born i believe. well the main character has a mentor whom i believe was an monkey/ape, who was always holding an umbralla. one part the character was calling out to their mentor and the mentor/aquaintance was leaping building to building singing and giving advice. i hope someone has a vague idea of what i am talking about! this might be a 70-90's animated movie. please help!

wow its taken you a lot of websites to get to this point, i wonder if you will find the answer you seek here

was it shrek 3d?

Really? Did you even read OP?

@tarsier: Hilarious.

Sounds like David Copperfield.

An American Tail, perhaps? I'm just guessing.

I have no idea...maybe you should add more exclamation points to the thread title?

Grave of the Fireflies.

Definitely Space Jam.

*actually reads post*

... Yep. Space Jam.

@shagge: That's racist.

@erhard: I can't be racist, I saw ten minutes of a Tyler Perry movie once!

Isn't that a lot like saying "I'm not sexist; I saw fifteen minute of Bible Black".

@video_game_king: Now THAT'S racist.

@shagge:

Only if it's starring Tyler Perry.

@video_game_king: ... Damn. Hoist by my own petard!

We don't use the *etard word here.

@daneian: Explodi-capable?

@thunderslash: That looks like it, how many other animated movies has a monkey mentor with an umbrella.
