I skipped it because I never really watched the original movie – read all the Kipling books, of course – and I have a jaundiced view of this trend of the Mouse to live-action all of its animated stuff. But Screen Junkies really loved this flick. I mean, they made almost no fun of it at all:
I should maybe take The Jungle Book more seriously, then?
When was screen junkies bought up by Disney?
I loved the 1994 live action version, but that was more of an alternate tale with familiar characters instead of a faithful live-action remake. I’ll have to keep an eye out when it’s released on the streaming services.
The teaser sold me.
