“No matter where you go or what they may call you, you will always be my son.”
Of all fairy tales adaptations I’ve seen so far (“Maleficent“, “Snow white and the huntsmen” and “Jack the giant slayer“), this animated movie (it looks lifelike but it consists mainly out of groundbreaking digital animations) is the the most dazzling one. I don’t want to sound too excited and shower Jon “Chef” Favreau with all the superlatives that I can think of for his directing work of , but in short this film was fantastic. Not only did this film throw me back to my childhood when my innocent eyes wandered over a large picture book and sympathized with the little Mowgli (Neel Sethi). But as an adult, I also stared at this beautiful film dumbfounded.
The movie hardly deviates from the original, well-known story so to speak. According to me the only part that differs was the denouement. In my youth book, lightning struck a tree and Mowgli drove out the terrible and dangerous Shere Khan with a burning branch. Also some new features are introduced. The daily life of the pack of wolves is illustrated in detail. Certain laws were incorporated into the story such as “The Water Truce” that takes effect the moment a terrible drought occurs. And here and there are some amusing additions like the favor Mowgli does for Baloo during which he uses his human ingenuity to solve the problem. The comments of the agitated, little animals on the whole operation was extremely hilarious. And there are some masterful scenes in this film. I was most impressed about the chapter in the beautifully rendered temple where a colossal King Lowie reigns.
Not only a lot of energy was put into the visual aspect, but also in the voice cast. It felt like all voices of the elected actors fit perfectly with their characters. To bring this to a succesful conclusion, they chose renowned actors: Ben Kingsley (Bagheera), Bill Murray (Baloo), Idris Elba (Shere Khan), Lupita Nyong’o (Raksha), Scarlett Johansson (Kaa) en Christopher Walken (King Louie). I was most impressed by Christopher Walken who apparently also has a very firm singing voice. The most amusing was that of Bill Murray. Not because of his timbre of course, but because of the textual content. So, nothing but praises for this embellished Disney Classic. Perhaps the movie isn’t as enchanting as the original and the end result is a more exciting and darker version. I’d be glad when Disney would dig out the other classics, dust them off and transform them into such a visual spectacle as this wonderful film.
Only a smiling visitor here to share the love (:, btw outstanding design .
I must say, as a lot as I took pleasure in reading what you had to say, I couldnt help yet weary eventually. Its as if you had a wonderful grasp on the topic, yet you failed to remember to include your readers. Maybe you ought to think of this from even more than one angle. Or perhaps you shouldnt generalise so considerably. Its far better if you consider exactly what others could have to state as opposed to simply going with a digestive tract reaction to the subject. Think concerning readjusting your personal believed process and also offering others that could read this the advantage of the question.
