Not as good as the original!


I was so excited for this movie but it was very disappointing for me. Didn't like the CGI, how they messed up the song (bare necessities), nor the lack of elephants that were present in the first. I did like King Louie.

How exactly do they mess up the Bare Necessities song if it's sung for a minute and it actually fits with what they're doing in the scene?

Despite them not having dialogue this time around, the elephants actually had the same amount of screentime as in the 1967 film. Whereas in the earlier film, they just show up and then don't appear for the rest of the runtime, here they play an actual role in the story and Mowgli's development.
