Summary: A Live Jungle Book
Comment: I haven't read the book, so I don't know how accurate the film is, but I enjoyed this version of "The Jungle Book". It's all about a grown up Mowgli's struggle to fit in with British colonial society, after he is lured out (more or less) by Kitty, a girl he knew as a child before he was lost to the jungle, a girl who just happens to be the local Colonel's daughter. Her boyfriend, a British soldier called William, doesn't like Mowgli at all, but he is however terribly fascinated by the golden dagger Mowgli found in the jungle...
It's worth a look. Sam Neill and John Cleese are both in the film, and I enjoyed their performances, I usually do when they're in films. Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli wasn't too bad either, though I haven't really seen him in much else. The Indian location was a great idea, and added a unique flavor to the story. The one thing that bugged me about the film was the animals. I guess I didn't feel a really chemistry between Jason Scott Lee and the animals, which would have been nice, as that's what Mowgli is all about. But maybe that's just me. There is a sequel to this live action film which is about Mowgli's childhood, maybe that fleshes things out a little. I'll have to check it out...

Summary: Gorgeous!
Comment: It was lush and vivid and showed the true spirit of the book. Now why is it so bloody expensive...?

Summary: Carey Elwes rocks in this film!
Comment: This film is extremely good, and aside from the accolades already rendered, is a great glimpse into the British Empire of Queen Victoria's time as well. Carey Elwes has never been more perfectly cast, before or since, as the ruthless and conniving Capt. Boone, intent on seizing all he can get from his posting to British-occupied India. With regards to grooming and costuming of the actors and actresses, special attention was obviously paid to getting the look right for that period... whoever cast the individuals for their roles deserves an award! And the bumbling Leftenant Wilkins' terrified sprint through the jungle alone makes this movie worth the admission price!

One of Disney's most treasured animated classics comes to glorious life -- stunningly photographed on magnificent locations in India! Based on Rudyard Kipling's beloved short stories, this all-new adventure promises a journey beyond your wildest imagination! Raised by wild animals since childhood, Mowgli (Jason Scott Lee) is eventually drawn away from the jungle by Kitty, the beautiful daughter of Major Brydon (Sam Neill). Mowgli soon faces a corrupt Captain Boone (Cary Elwes), who wants both Kitty's hand in marriage and a hand on the mythical treasures of Monkey City, a place only Mowgli can find. Loyal animal friends Bagheera, Baloo, and Grey Brother must help Mowgli survive the untamed peril. All of Kipling's memorable characters spring wonderfully to life in Disney's THE JUNGLE BOOK, a bold, sweeping adventure brimming with treasures for the whole family!
