The movie is an "update' of the 1967 Disney animation of the same title. It is for a more grown-up audience. The scenes are more ambivalent and not as "sweet" and 'innocent" as the earlier version. Some of the memorable songs from the earlier version was retained for the current version, but toned way down. I like both versions. the earlier version for a younger crowd (my children when they were younger) the the current version for my 14-year old daughter.
Love, love, loved it! Will go see it again and tell everyone it's a must see!!!
The CGI and voice acting were first rate and Neel Sethi was quite believable as Mowgli. The ending might not be for the youngest viewers...
The jungle looks absolutely, awesomely, totally beautiful in 3d! This is by far the best rendition of the Jungle Book yet!
I was very excited for this movie to come out for my daughter because she loves the original Disney cartoon. She is 2 so it may be a bit scary for her at some parts. That's about the only negative thing I can say about it but it isn't much of a negative comment because it reaches to a larger audience than just small children. I personally enjoyed the movie a lot. The visuals were spectacular, the songs were well done (although my kids would probably want more) and the story is something I can be glad my daughters will grow up to know. I won't be too upset if this is one of those movies they watch constantly because it is one that I won't get sick of too quickly. I couldn't be so lucky.
This is a great re-make of a classic movie. Neel Sethi captured the hearts of the audiences. I will probably watch this movie again.
Fun, entertaining, great special effects...but to only human in the movie can be a little annoying....
My daughter and I enjoyed Jungle Book very much! We have told all our friends and co-workers that they have to go see it!! It was very realistic and at times we were on the edge of our seats!! Thanks for having us to enjoy the advanced screening??
Loved the original cartoon from the 60's but this was a completely different experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. This screen experience is totally unique making it difficult to differentiate what is real and what is imaginary. If you like CGI, you'll love this movie. They have pushed the limits to a whole new level in using this technology. Combined with the talents of many A-list actors, this movie is a must see for all movie-goers.
Was really impress by the CG animals, they didn't look fake. The winks to the original and classic Disney masterpiece were amazing. A great remake for new generations to discover.
