![]() I gave it three stars in my original review, but I'm thinking of downgrading it to 2.5. Disney orders, I'm sure, since the songs didn't really fit the movie's darker tone. Oh and that goes without mentioning the two incredibly out of place musical numbers like, of course, Bare Necessities and a really elaborate song-and-dance from King Louie. It's just that the narrative didn't grab me, I thought the kid who played Mowgli was, largely, fucking awful and the emotional connection between Baloo, Bagheera and Mowgli felt incredibly manufactured. Here's the thing with The Jungle Book, it is a technical masterpiece, I'll never disagree with that fact. ![]() I don't know if it's fair to compare the two, but I feel that it's almost inevitable. Average rating for TJB is 3.5 and 2.8 for this one. This has 53% positive reviews and an average audience score of 3.6/5. This is an unpopular opinion because of the fact that, on RottenTomatoes, The Jungle Book has 95% positive reviews from professional critics and an average audience score of 4.1/5. I found this to be a better movie than Disney's live-action version of The Jungle Book from a couple of years ago. I'm gonna start out this review with something that might be an unpopular opinion.
