Analysis

For those who have watched Disney’s spellbinding animated film of 1967, the story is not something new. There are also certain additions to this film besides the known characters.

The Jungle Book has definitely hit the screens at the right time; a passionate movie buff of today would surely love it. Jon Favreau Jonathan Kolia Favreau is an American Filmmaker, c >> Read More... retells the fantasy world of the Jungle Book, which we were fond of in our childhood, in a gripping manner. While the 1967 itself should be definitely watched by a kid, this 2016 movie only turns more engrossing than that. Moreover, the director has so meticulously worked on the movie that you just can’t get enough of the charm of the movie. 

What’s there?

  • The movie is shot aesthetically, and the jungle is so enamoring that you get completely absorbed in it.
  • The cutting-edge CGI leaves you astonished. 
  • The movie gives you a profound look into the two different worlds of Mowgli; the jungle and the human world. 
  • All the animals in the movie have an inimitable charm in them. 
  • The screenplay of Justin Mark is almost perfect. 
  • Even the seemingly minute scenes are given attention.
  • The inclusion of the mesmerizing tunes from the first Disney movie is captivating.
  • Favreau has an astute understanding of what works for the kids, and he doesn’t indulge in too much melodrama. 
  • The frames are highly realistic. 
  • The song of Scarlett Johansson, Trust in Me, should not be missed (it is shown in the end credit). It is highly captivating. 

What’s not there?

Since one gets so absorbed in the movie, one feels as though Kaa’s time in the movie could have been more. 

Verdict

For anyone who loves good cinema Jungle Book is a must watch for all ages.
