Product Description

Review

The overly familiar, paint-by-numbers Jungle Book 2 should have been a direct-to-video release. The story does little more than rehash numerous conflicts from other family films. Thanks largely to his impressive voice-only performance in Monsters Inc., John Goodman disappoints as the bear Baloo. His line readings give off the feeling that he had no one to interact with during the recording sessions. Haley Joel Osment is simply too familiar a voice to allow the audience to suspend disbelief when his animated counterpart speaks. Seemingly the only creative reason to make this film was to get these two actors to duet on a new version of "Bare Necessities", but their cover lacks the charm of the original. Technically competent, but dishearteningly derivative, Jungle Book 2 feels like a cynical attempt to cash in on people's goodwill toward a Disney classic. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

3.0 out of 5 stars More of a Broadway production than anything else, Jul 26 2009
This review is from: The Jungle Book 2 (DVD)

I do not want to say that this is a bad movie. In fact, my son, who loved the first one, is also captivated by this sequel. Yet, it is a completely different style. The only thing that is reminescent of the original Jungle book is the stilness of the jungle, not a leaf that moves. In the first movie, it must have been a limitation of the cartoon's technique, here it must have been done in purpose. In any case, I enjoy the group singing scenes which strongly remind me of Broadway's musicals. The dialog lacks spark, especially Baloo's lines seems to be a collection of cheap jokes. However, in the end, it is good family fun if you let yourself enjoy it and not play the critic, like I just did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable but not memorable, Jul 12 2008
By Robert Morris (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

Note: The review that follows is of the Special Edition of a film first released in 2003.

Comparisons with the earlier version released 41 years ago (featuring the voices of Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders, and Sterling Holloway among others) are inevitable and perhaps unfair. As I began to watch this sequel, I tried very hard to experience it and then judge it on its own merits. All issues considered, my rating of it is explained as follows: I think it offers pleasant but unexceptional entertainment (Three Stars) and several bonus features that add one Star to my rating.

My guess is that, in general, adults enjoy the special features (other than interactive games such as ?Mowgli?s Jungle Ruins Maze?) more than children do. In the sequel, the plot remains faithful to the beloved Rudyard Kipling novel, this time featuring the voices of John Goodman, Haley Joel Osment, Mae Whitman, and Jim Cummings. Phil Collins provided the voice of Lucky. I watched this film with several of my younger grandchildren, none of whom had seen the 1967 version. Unlike their parents and grandparents, they and other children ages 4-14 seem to think nothing of watching a film they like several times either in a theatre or a DVD of it, whether or not it is a sequel.

Although a sequel offering solid entertainment to ?children of all ages,? I doubt if it will not have the same enduring appeal from one generation to the next as do other feature length animated films produced by Disney (e.g. Bambi, Beauty and the Beast, Dumbo, Pinocchio, and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) and Pixar (e.g. Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and WALL-E) nor by DreamWorks (e.g. Antz and Shrek). I agree with my grandchildren: it was fun to watch but generates no interest in seeing it again soon. It must join a long line ahead of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disney's Sequel to the Jungle Classic, April 6 2008
By Frances L. Arsenault "lover of literature" (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Jungle Book 2 (VHS Tape)
What is wrong with you people? As far as I'm concerned, this film and the original films are two totally and completely different things, and I love both of them (I am not one to compare).The animation was excellant,and fluid and the backgrounds were more solid; The songs are alright, and some are easy to remember (well one to me that is).

I love the movie opening, when Mowgli was telling his new family and new best friend, Shanti, about his former life in the jungle through a puppet show. As he gets to the part where he fought Shere Khan, the ferocious tiger, Ranjan decides to put his own twist on the story and in doing so, manages to destroy the set and embarrass Shanti in the process. Ranjan's comment that, "Shanti blinked her big, beautiful, brown eyes at you. And you follow her into our village," prompts Shanti to turn red and deny she did anything of the sort. This prompts a little argument between Mowgli and Shanti, forcing Mowgli's father to break it up by revealing that his wife used the same trick on him. And also, my favorite musical sequence is when Mowgli and the village kids sang "Jungle Rythmn."
