Movie Review: The Jungle Book

Disney’s on a live-action remake roll! I got to see their latest film, The Jungle Book, in theatres a few days ago. And now you can, too!

Mowgli, a “man-cub” raised by wolves, has always been safe and happy with his pack. But that all changes when Shere Khan, the most feared tiger in the jungle, becomes obsessed with one thing: getting rid of him. Now Mowgli must leave his pack behind and try to reach the safety of the man village.

And what an adventure he has on the way! The colours pop right out at you, the action scenes are nail-biting, and the animals look so real you can almost feel them rushing past. This is a flick that’s funny, heartwarming, and lots of fun to watch. But a word of warning: There are some frightening scenes that may scare younger viewers, so you may want to sit this one out and stick with Disney’s original animated version!

So what do you think? Do you want to see this movie? Let us know in the comments!
