DVD Reviews of The Jungle Book 2 (Special Edition)
DVD Review: book lover
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most watched movie. My daughter watched over 100 times. Very entertaining. DVD Review: Very far from Jungle Book 1
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie supports the theory that discourages producers from making part 2s. The story turns boring, and they went too far with the "true lies" approach, very far from the concept of the original movie.....not even my children enjoyed it.DVD Review: Jungle Book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not as good as the first one, but really, how could it be? I didn't expect it to be as good and you shouldn't either. The story line is a bit weak, but all the old characters (with new voices) are back with a couple of new characters (the girl and a little brother). The songs are just as catchy and both my daughter and I find we are singing along. She is 3 and loves the first one-has been watching it for 2 yrs. She did watch this on repeatedly when we first got it. She still watches it, but pulls out the original about 4 times as often. I'd buy it again because of the songs AND it still does offer a repreive from the countless Dora and Diego videos:)DVD Review: Fun for the Family
Summary: 4 Stars
After so many years between Disney's "Jungle Book" and the followup, it appeared to have been made with no interval; though our favorite actors who brought to jungle animation life were not in the DVD, it was a continuation of the first story and everyone looked the same age as in the original. I especially enjoyed the songs but now forget which was my favorite. The snake was still the villain plus the tiger which, I think, would scare small sensitive children. Seeing some Harry Potter early movies on t.v., some of those meanies would scare a child more than these animated songsters. Brett and Crissy were taken to see every one of them, but I wondered how she sat through some of the hard-core violence. This Jungle Book 2 is delightful and easy to enjoy.DVD Review: More like the Jungle Brochure
Summary: 3 Stars
Not exactly a "bare necessity" for a movie collection here. I just watched this and what I saw was the stark difference between what Disney animation was in the 1960's (The Original Jungle Book; Robin Hood; Original Fox and Hound; The Aristocats) and what it has recently become.
It took me a while to grasp what looks wrong about this movie, and what it is seems to be that it looks like multiple ways of rendering art are superimposed in a way that doesn't integrate them very well. The original Jungle Book looks like an oil painting (to quote one of the creators of this movie from the special features) but this movie looks like some inordinately brightly colored and rather flat dimensionless matte artwork with a combination of animated drawings and computer generated 3D animation.
Or to put it briefly, a group of computer people got together and threw together several different ways of creating images, way over did it, and then congratulated themselves for being great artists. Oh, and while they were at it they forgot to come up with a story. A real story would have helped.
One good thing this movie has going for it is the voice acting talent. It really sounded like the original Jungle Book, even if it looked very different.
So the bottom line is by all means try to see this movie before you shell out the money and reserve precious shelf space for this rehash of a beloved Disney classic.
Description of The Jungle Book 2 (Special Edition)
UPC:786936750010DESCRIPTION: Walt Disney s jumpin jungle classic continues in this Special Edition of The Jungle Book 2 with all your favorite characters from the original, toe-tappin classic and more swingin songs! Mowgli has been living in the man-village with his little step-brother Ranjan and his best friend Shanti. But the man-cub still has that jungle rhythm in his heart, and he misses his old buddies Baloo and Bagheera. When Mowgli wanders back to the wild for some swingin fun, he soon finds Baloo isn t the only one waiting for him the man-eating tiger Shere Kahn is lurking in the shadows and planning his revenge. If he is to defeat his nemesis, Mowgli will need the help of both his old friends and his new family. With an all-new Mowgli s Storybook Adventure Game, music videos and more, The Jungle Book 2: Special Edition will have the whole family roaring for more! END
After a delightful opening, in which jungle boy Mowgli (voiced by Haley Joel Osment) recaps much of the original Jungle Book in a sprightly shadow puppet show, The Jungle Book 2 swiftly turns into a carbon copy of the splendidly swinging previous movie. After his old pal Baloo the bear (voiced by John Goodman) draws Mowgli away from the man-village, with all its work and rules, and back into the glorious indolence of the jungle, the movie repeats--in a less energetic form--an encounter with Kaa the snake, the cockney vultures, a musical number at the monkey's palace, the menace of Shere Khan the tiger, and even the song "The Bare Necessities." The only difference is that there's a girl named Shanti along for the ride; sadly, her character is so bland that it doesn't do much to justify the movie's existence. --Bret Fetzer
