The Jungle Book 2016 review

The Jungle Book is what I believe is the third Disney incarnation of the book, that excludes Talespin, etc.. It's sort of a mix of its predecessors and instead includes digitized animals, probably better since a kid is in the film as Mowgli. The Jungle Book was created by Iron Man and therefore MCU founding director, Jon Favreau.

And boy were the trailers great.
The trailers were also misleading.
The trailers don't have the animals talk.
And they certainly don't have the animals dance.
You probably quit already.

Like a lot of us artsy folk should be pissed off.
We were hoping not quite for a Chaplin or a Malick, but a Black Beauty-ish experience. Roger Ebert liked Black Beauty. I loved Black Beauty.
The trailer just has us see the effects and the visuals.

This was a really cool evolution of the Disney Animation Studio
Everything looked really beautiful.

The voice acting was really cool.

As much as I'm not anti-Scarlett Johannsenn in Ghost in the Shell, who is also in this movie, I really felt a bit aback that the male protagonist, Mowgli is played by a male of Indian descent, but really sounded just so American. 

Not to mention the other very odd moment in the film.

There's some violent moment not in the original Disney film but present in the first live action film.
