The film was a typical animated movie with anthropomorphic animals like in Robin hood. It had a general Robinhood "feel" as well. However, it was set in either India or South east Asia… some place with monkeys and elephants but not Africa.
The one scene which I remember clearly was when the main character (I think he was a lion or a tiger) was captured and taken aboard a ship along with a companion. They're tied up and decide to ingest some berries or drugs which made them appear dead. So they were dumped off the ship and then escaped back to shore. I think that they had crafted inflatable things before falling unconscious. There may also have been a bird who was free but I'm not sure.
It wasn't Junglebook. I know that much.
I also think (this is very hazy) that the movie began with a wedding that was interrupted by an evil monkey-character. There was a battle and the movie was about rescuing the princess. The ending featured the storming of the monkey king's fortress.
I may be mixed up here so don't take this too literally. The only thing I remember strongly was the scene on the boat.
Can someone help me out please? -

The Ramayana is an ancient Hindu epic. When he said evil monkey I thought of the god Hanuman. Hanuman is a monkey god, not evil, but I thought he may have been referring to him.

Haha, nah.
I've been searching for this old kid's movie for a week now. I actually searched through the entire Wikipedia list of animated films released in the US… twice. I went decade by decade and found nothing resembling this movie. Now, Wikipedia is incomplete or maybe I glanced over it without noticing. -

Nah. It was traditional animation.
It was such a cool movie (if I remember correctly) and it may have featured a sort of three way war between the good guy, an antagonist (whom he eventually teams up with), and a monkey led super bad guys clique.
