About

You’ll enjoy this if you want a bigger, more intense jungle adventure than The Jungle Book (1967), with family appeal; Not for you if you prefer lighter, softer stories like Paddington.

Pros: stunning visuals; lively adventure; strong animal characters | Cons: darker for kids; songs feel uneven; lead performance divides
