Wordiezett So much average
MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
classicsoncall There are any number of versions of "The Jungle Book" out there, ranging from the 1942 film featuring non-actor Sabu, up to the 2016 modernized epic, quite vibrant and colorful but maybe a bit too intense for young kids. This is undeniably the most kid friendly version, at least of those I've seen, and would be a nice introduction to the Rudyard Kipling stories of Mowgli and his animal friends for young viewers. All of the characters are entertaining, up to and including the villainous Python Kaa and Tiger Shere Khan. They aren't drawn or voiced in such a menacing manner that it would send the youngsters hiding under the bed. The jovial animals like Baloo the Bear and King Louie add an amusing comedic element to the story and with the upbeat songs, the film has the ability to transfix it's audience throughout. I had forgotten all about the comical vultures, and while listening today, I couldn't help thinking that yet another modern day remake might make use of Ringo Starr for one of the British voices; that would be just about perfect. With it's fairly short run time of seventy eight minutes, I thought the ending could have been handled just a little bit better as it seemed quite abrupt once Mowgli met the young Indian girl. Be that as it may, the picture has a nice message of friendship and loyalty, and serves well as the nineteenth and last animated feature that Walt Disney would have been personally involved in. The picture ought to be considered required viewing for all youngsters who might enjoy an uplifting jungle adventure.
snperera the songs, the characters, the story. this movie has it all. there is such heart and love and adventure in this story and it has a great message about animals and humans and their relationship together. I will always love this movie and I will always love the kid in this movie and he is so smart, kind, funny, energetic, and adventurous. This movie is a Disney classic.
EBJ Overall: This movie is definitely one of Disney's classic movies and will not be forgotten for decades to come. It's a great movie and fun for the whole family.Good: Each individual character is unique and interesting and memorable. The voice acting is fantastic as is the phenomenal score. The film does an outstanding job making you feel really uneasy around Shere Kahn and makes him very threatening. Simplistic yet brilliant plot.Bad: The climax for the movie is quite poor and very unsatisfactory. The only reason I knew it was near the end was because I checked to see how long before it went of. The movie shows no real sign or any decent way of saying we're stopping in a few minutes and instead opts to rush into it's climax. The short, snappy bursts of comedy don't provoke any reaction from me but I'm sure they will with some people.Best Part: 'Oh the Bear Nescessities!' 9/10
datautisticgamer-74853 As the first film in Disney's Dark Age, The Jungle Book is nothing short of an experience for new moviegoers, who can appreciate a majority of the music, and movie veterans who can appreciate the timeless charm given out by the voice actors, like Louis Prima and Phil Harris. Minor bits of the animation are recycled (Mowgli getting cuddled by the wolves was copied from a similar scene in The Sword in the Stone, but unless you are a die-hard Disney fan like I border, it's unlikely you will notice). The humor hits almost every time, the action is stimulating, and the songs are nothing short of classic. While the 2016 version is better in my personal experience and opinion, I can still appreciate this for what it is: a relatively light-hearted musical comedy, compared to the dramatic thriller of the 2016 "remake". Either way, Rudyard Kipling would enjoy the film despite the changes made to the story to banish dark parts.
