Behind you Mowgli!... Ths isn't a made-you-look thing.
When the wolf pack, Mowgli's surrogate family, faces certain death for harbouring him, they send him to the man village with the wise Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) to begin a new life. Yet as can be expected, the journey isn't smooth, and before long the two of them are violently separated.
Are you sure you don't eat human?
Trusting in the only thing he knows, Mowgli goes deeper into the jungle and meets a few new friends along the way, including Kaa (Scarlett Johansson) and Baloo (Bill Murray). In a mesmerising sequence of events, he discovers how he came to live in the jungle, and discovers what he must do to stop Khan.
What big eyes you have...
From the tallest trees to the blades of grass, this film ensures that every detail of nature is projected with the most natural of qualities. What's also interesting to note is the way the animals are incorporated into this film. Each is so believable as one you could stumble across in a real jungle, yet have their own unique characteristics to bring to the story. For the keen eye... and ear, there are flashbacks to earlier portrayals of the story which will delight both old and new fans of the classic.
This is definately a movie to see in 3D for an immersive experience. Fantastic and to be throughly enjoyed by old and young- and a special mention to Neel Sethi too, so believable.
Five Quills out of Five.
