August 18, 2009Perhaps I'm in the minority in thinking/saying this, but I think Disney rocks at making sequels to their all-time classics, and this is definitely one of the better ones! Familiar tunes abound, and it's a lot of fun to watch Mowgli being torn on whether he wants to go back to the... read more

January 19, 2012Although a nice conclusion for the characters, this is a very short and embarassing attempt at a sequel.

May 27, 2012I thought this movie was great. It had great animation, terrific voice acting, fun music, fantastic visuals, great characters, terrific directing, and a great storyline. I like the new characters including Shanti and Ranjan. I would recommend this movie for kids and adults alike.

October 5, 2008This one will never be as good as the original one was. I do like one of the songs in here, but other than that it felt like the story was trying to tell the same story as the first one which kinda got old and felt like I was watching the same movie. The whole movie wasn't bad, b... read more

August 5, 2007I didnt like the first one, and then this one came along and I realized how good the old one was compared to this one. It was horrible graphics compared the the first and was just not needed at all after the 36 years in between the two.

More development and nuance in Karl Geurs' script would have made a big difference. Full Review

Wait for it to come out on video, it'll baby sit a four-year-old. Anybody else is gonna be bored by it. Full Review

That scratching sound you hear isn't Baloo the bear rubbing against a tree, it's Disney scraping the bottom of the sequel barrel with a follow-up that has none of the charm or creativity of the original.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Relatively innocuous but utterly unnecessary -- except from the standpoint of unbridled capitalism. Full Review

Jane Horwitz, Washington Post
Likely to provide 72 minutes of enjoyment and a few scary thrills to tykes, as well as a pleasant diversion for parents.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The animation is lovely, but the simplistic story feels as if it were arrived at by committee after an hour-long meeting. Full Review

Daphne Gordon, Toronto Star
A pathetic excuse for an animated feature, with only slightly more than an hour of action, a thin plot that returns to very familiar details and themes, and only two new songs. Full Review

C.W. Nevius, San Francisco Chronicle
The overall result of this remake is something as safe and dull as oatmeal. Full Review

Jan Stuart, Newsday
Feels a little dispiriting in the manner of a high school reunion where everyone is dancing to the same old songs and looking a little worse for wear. Full Review
