My favourite poster, don't you agree?
The Story
Like the 1967 version, some of the characters still retain their names like Mowgli and Baloo, just to name a few like in the original novel. However, unlike the 1967 animated movie, the animals in this version don't talk and dramatic suspense too.
2 characters from Rudyard Kipling's story of the same name are feature in this movie. I guess that they want to be slightly faithful towards its original novel as well as dramatising the story a little!
The Characters
Okay, I was very impressed that they kept the names from the novel and the 1967 version as mentioned, when Kitty appears on screen. The movie eerily reminds me of Tarzan, mainly due to the fact that Mowgli is an adult in a contrast to his animated counterpart!
Kitty on the other hand is no Damsel in Distress, unlike Jane and her father is not a loony scientist.
Captain William Boone eerily reminds me of Clayton from Tarzan, apart from their physical appearance. The only exception is that Boone is not muscular unlike Clayton and the former is a blonde. Unfortunately, he also had a graphic death.
The Music Scores
I got the soundtrack many years ago, initially I was scared while listening to the dramatic scores! However, upon listening to it again on Youtube, I felt that the score is very underrated and needs some love!
It's a Jungle Out There!
So, these are just basically my thoughts on the underrated live action reboot of the Jungle Book. I'll be doing the 2016 version if I have the time to watch it, see you all soon.
They are NOT Tarzan and Jane, remember that!
7. Woody and Buzz's arguement (Toy Story 1)
How dare Shanti insulted Mowgli. She says that Mowgli is a real jungle boy. But Mowgli lives in the man village.
This animation of Quasimodo is cheesy.
Don't talk about this moment of Pocahontas 2, you guys, because it's the nastiest sequel of all time.
Wendy gets kidnapped by Captain Hook's pirates and she's told by Captain Hook saying, "Peter Pan will be blasted out of neverland forever!"
Jane hates peter pan stories because Peter Pan isn't in real life. Later, Jane kills TinkerBell. What a beast!
Jane screams and it's really annoying. I blame her. She's evil.
6. Shanti saying that Mowgli is ugly (The Jungle Book 2)
5. Quasimodo crying (The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2)
4. Pocahontas arrested by the guards (Pocahontas 2)
3. Wendy in distress (Peter Pan)
2. Jane's big arguement (Return to Neverland)
1. Jane's scream (Return to Neverland)
I've put up a Top Ten Favorite Disney songs, so here's a Top Ten Favorite Disney Scores!
10. Kingdom Dance
Movie: Tangled
Composer: Alan Menken
This song is played when Rapunzel and Eugene are in Corona together for her birthday, ending with the Kingdom Dance. This is a fun song and it’s fun to watch. Rapunzel is running around like she’s in Disneyland (something I’m pretty sure the writers were going for) and any time I’m going somewhere exciting like Disneyland or a convention this song plays in my head and I feel like Rapunzel. There’s times where I listen to this song and when...
