For years, Disney has been chasing live-action remakes of their classic animated films to frequent box office success.
Rather,The Jungle Bookstands on its own two feet and emits a mighty, mighty roar.
Last year, Kenneth Branagh made a lavish and very earnest remix of the Disney-specific version ofCinderella.
The Jungle Bookis almost entirely its own animal save for two exceptions.
Midway through the film, Bill Murray offers his own decidedly lax rendition of The Bear Necessities.
But overall, aJungle Bookmovie this good doesnt need to be like anyone else.
People are going to go bananas no matter what.
