Plot[edit]

Mowgli is a 'man cub' raised by the wolf Raksha and her pack, led by Akela, in an Indian jungle ever since he was brought to them as a infant by the black pantherBagheera. Bagheera trains Mowgli to learn the ways of the wolves, but the boy faces certain challenges and falls behind his wolf siblings, while Akela objects of him using human 'tricks', like building tools, instead of learning the ways of the pack.

Soon after moving into their new house, strange things start happening, whether these are caused by the apparent ghost of a former occupant, Chandramukhi, or any one of the suspicious members of the extended family, will be looked into by 'psychiatrist extraordinaire' Dr. Chandramukhi tamil songs. Introduction of Super Star is the best. Songs are very nice, especially Devuda Devuda, Athinthom and Raa Raa. Excellent story, with excellent performance by Super Star and Jothika. Several members of Shweta's family are miffed at Senthil's 'unauthorized' wedding, and his mother start's fearing for the newlyweds' safety when they move next-doors to their cousins.

One day, during the dry season, the jungle animals gather to drink the water that remains as part of a truce during a drought that enables the jungle's wildlife to drink without fear of being eaten by their predators. The truce is disrupted when a fire-scarred Bengal tiger named Shere Khan arrives, detecting Mowgli's scent in the large crowd. Consumed by a vendetta on humans for scarring him with fire during a hunt, he threatens to kill Mowgli at the end of the drought. After the drought ends, the wolves debate whether they should keep Mowgli or not. Mowgli decides to leave the jungle for the safety of his pack. Bagheera agrees with the decision and volunteers to guide him to the nearby man village.

En route, Shere Khan ambushes them and injures Bagheera, but Mowgli manages to escape amidst a buffalo stampede. Later, Mowgli meets an enormous python named Kaa, who hypnotizes him. While under her influence, Mowgli sees a vision of his father being killed by Shere Khan while protecting him, which also warns of the destructive power of the 'red flower' (fire). Kaa attempts to devour Mowgli, but she is attacked by a himalayan brown bear named Baloo who rescues the unconscious Mowgli. Mowgli later awakens and retrievies some difficult-to-access honey for Baloo as repayment, with the two bonding in the process. Mowgli agrees to stay with Baloo until the winter season arrives. Meanwhile, upon learning that Mowgli has left the jungle, Shere Khan throws Akela off to his death and threatens the pack to lure Mowgli out.

Bagheera eventually finds Mowgli and Baloo and is shocked that Mowgli has not joined the humans as he had agreed, but Baloo calms him down and persuades both of them to sleep on it. During the night, Mowgli finds a herd of Indian elephants gathered around a ditch and uses vines to save their baby ditch. Although Baloo and Bagheera are impressed, Baloo realizes that he cannot guarantee Mowgli's safety after learning that he is being hunted by Shere Khan. Baloo agrees to push Mowgli away to get him to continue onward to the man village.

Mowgli is kidnapped by a gang of monkeys known as the 'Bandar-log', who present him to their leader, a deranged Gigantopithecus named King Louie. Assuming that all humans can make fire, King Louie offers Mowgli protection from Shere Khan in exchange for it. Baloo decoys King Louie while Bagheera tries to sneak him out, but their plan is found out. As King Louie chases Mowgli through his temple, he informs Mowgli of Akela's death. King Louie's rampage eventually causes his temple to collapse on top of him.

Furious that Baloo and Bagheera neglected to tell him about Akela's death, Mowgli goes to confront Shere Khan alone. He steals a lit torch at the village to use as a weapon and heads back to the jungle, accidentally starting a wildfire in the process. He confronts Shere Khan, who argues that Mowgli has made himself the enemy of the jungle by causing the wildfire. Mowgli throws the torch into the water, giving Shere Khan the advantage. Baloo, Bagheera, and the wolf pack intervene and hold Shere Khan off, giving Mowgli enough time to set a trap. He lures Shere Khan up a dead tree and onto a branch, which breaks under the tiger's weight, and Shere Khan falls into the fire to his death. Mowgli then directs the elephants to divert the river and put out the fire.In the aftermath, Raksha becomes the new leader of the wolf pack. Mowgli decides to utilize his equipment and tricks for his own use, having found his true home and calling with his wolf family, Baloo and Bagheera.

Cast[edit]

• Neel Sethi as Mowgli:
  A young boy who was raised by wolves. The search for casting Mowgli was extensive, with thousands of children auditioning from the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada. Eventually, newcomer Neel Sethi was confirmed for the role, with casting director Rebecca Williams describing him as embodying 'the heart, humor, and daring of the character. He's warm and accessible, yet also has an intelligence well beyond his years and impressed us all with his ability to hold his own in any situation.'^[8] Sethi underwent parkour training in preparation for the role.^[7]
  • Kendrick Reyes as toddler Mowgli.
• Ritesh Rajan as Mowgli's father.

Voice cast[edit]

• Bill Murray as Baloo:
  A Himalayan brown bear who encounters and befriends Mowgli. Favreau had Murray in mind to voice Baloo since the beginning of the project. “He’s perfect,” says the director. “Bill just exudes all the charm and humor that you need and expect from Baloo. He has a certain dryness and a rebellious quality.” He had also always wanted to work with Murray, having been a huge fan of his work, though he has been aware of how hard it is to contact him. Fortunately for Favreau, he was able to get a hold of Murray, and he agreed to come on board, with Favreau going on to comment that “Once he came aboard, he was incredibly passionate. He has a very high standard.”. “I just couldn’t say no to playing Baloo,” says Murray. “Jon [Favreau] is a terrific storyteller and I’m such a huge fan of the original stories. Kipling wrote a lot of amazing stuff. I read that book when I was about 22 and I’ve always thought that it was just extraordinary writing.” ^[5]
• Ben Kingsley as Bagheera:
  A black panther (Indian leopard) who is Mowgli's mentor and protector. Favreau said that Kingsley 'brought this elegance and refinement to the character, yet with great firmness. He's an interesting dude with crazy range.'^[5] Kingsley said that Bagheera's 'role in Mowgli's life is to educate, to protect and to guide'.^[5] Kingsley said that '[Bagheera] is instantly recognizable by the way he talks, how he acts and what his ethical code is', and stated that 'Rudyard Kipling’s stories of Mowgli’s adventures with these extraordinary, beautifully defined characters introduce many around the world to the Indian subcontinent and its culture' through he felt that both the film and the book's story was ultimately about Mowgli's search for a family. 'There are many wonderful stories that are based on the struggle of an orphan to find a family — to create a family around him, which is a very poignant part of Jon Favreau’s version of the film. It will have its beautiful, thrilling, exciting, joyous moments of celebration. But must also quite rightly have its darker moments, because we’re dealing with a very isolated child who triumphs over enormous odds.'.^[5]
• Idris Elba as Shere Khan:
  A fearsome, scarred Bengal tiger with a blinded left eye who wishes to kill Mowgli. Favreau felt that Elba's voice 'wields tremendous presence in a room',^[1] and that '[Elba]'s got such gravity and brings his steely presence, a deep timbre that echoes in a larger-than-life way. He understands this scarred, imposing tiger in a way the character demands'.^[1] Elba said that 'Shere Khan reigns with fear. He terrorizes everyone he encounters because he comes from a place of fear'.^[1] Elba was highly impressed with the film's effects, stating that '[w]hen Jon [Favreau] showed [Elba] Shere Khan's expressions and how he moves, [he] had to ask, ‘Is that a real tiger?’ The technology is incredible'.^[1]
• Lupita Nyong'o as Raksha:
  A female Indian wolf who is Mowgli's adoptive mother. Favreau and Marks decided to give the character of Raksha a more predominant role in the film similar to Kipling’s original tales^[9]. Favreau chose Nyong’o because he believed her voice imbued the emotion required for the role, 'Lupita has tremendous depth of emotion in her performance. There's an emotional underpinning she brings, and a strength, and we wanted that for this surrogate mother. Much of that comes from her voice.'^[10] Along with saying that she was a fan of the original Disney animated film , Nyong’o also commented, “I really enjoyed preparing for this and learning about wolves and how social they are, how they stick together,” continues Nyong’o. “There’s such an order—a hierarchy—to a wolf pack. Mowgli tries to fit in with the other wolf pups. He has his challenges, but he is very much a part of the pack as far as Raksha is concerned.” ^[5]
• Scarlett Johansson as Kaa:
  A gigantic Indian python. Favreau decided to cast Johansson, a recurrent collaborator of Favreau's, to play Kaa, originally a male character, as he felt the original film was 'a little too male-oriented.'^[11] On Kaa's role in the film, Favreau said that 'Mowgli is exploring different regions of the jungle — mistier, darker, more mysterious parts of the jungle. That’s where Kaa lives. That’s where she gets ahold of him — till Baloo rescues him and brings him back to his cave'.^[1] Johansson said that 'For [her], the opportunity to play Kaa as envisioned by Jon [Favreau] was so exciting',^[1] and described Kaa as 'the mirror into Mowgli’s past'.^[1]
• Giancarlo Esposito as Akela:
  A male Indian wolf who leads the pack. Esposito called Akela 'a fierce patriarch of the wolf pack. He believes that the strength of the pack lies in what each and every wolf offers. He knows if they stick together, they can survive'.^[1] Producer Brigham Taylor praised Esposito, claiming that 'Giancarlo is an esteemed actor who absolutely embodies the nature of the character'.^[1] Along with commenting that he’s a fan of both the animated film and Kipling’s books, Giancarlo described his character as “..a fierce patriarch of the wolf pack. He believes that the strength of the pack lies in what each and every wolf offers. He knows if they stick together, they can survive. He’s a great leader, a wise teacher. I aspire to be like him.”^[5]
• Christopher Walken as King Louie:
  A giant ape who rules the Bandar-log. Favreau decided to change King Louie from an orangutan to a Gigantopithecus due to the fact that orangutans are not native to India, where the story takes place.^[6] His character was given a slight alteration from the 1967 film and was partly inspired by Marlon Brando's character Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now,^[9] as well as incorporating Walken's own physical mannerisms.^[12] In regards to Louie's changes, Favreau stated, 'We created this looming figure that was trying to extract the secret of fire from Mowgli. And also this gave Mowgli the idea that if he had fire, he could have power over Shere Khan, whether it was good or bad. So there was a Lord of the Rings aspect to that; the fire was almost like the ring in that was going to give someone ultimate power, but corrupt them as well as create destruction.'^[13]
• Garry Shandling as Ikki, an Indian porcupine that observes the Water Truce. A character not featured in the original film.^[1] The film would go on to be Shandling’s final film, having died of pulmonary embolism before the film’s release.
• Brighton Rose as Grey Brother, a wolf cub who is the youngest of Mowgli's adoptive siblings.^[1]
• Jon Favreau as Fred, a Pygmy hog. A character not featured in the original film.^[1]
• Sam Raimi as an Indian giant squirrel.^[1]
• Russell Peters as Rocky, an Indian rhinoceros.^[1] The character was originally meant to appear in the 1967 film, but Walt Disney scrapped the character.
• Madeleine Favreau as Raquel, an Indian rhinoceros.^[1]
• Sara Arrington as a Nilgai.^[1]

Emjay Anthony, Max Favreau, Chloe Hechter, Asher Blinkoff, Knox Gagnon, Sasha Schrieber, and Kai Schrieber voice the Young Wolves.^[1]

Dee Bradley Baker, Artie Esposito, Sean Johnson, and Allan Trautman provide additional animal voices.^[1]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

— Jon Favreau on approaching the film's technical intent.^[14]

On July 9, 2013, Walt Disney Pictures announced that a live-action adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's short story collection The Jungle Book was in development, with Justin Marks set to write the script.^[15] The film would be Disney's third live-action adaptation of Kipling's works, following the 1994 film and the 1998 direct-to-video film Mowgli's Story; and the studio's fourth overall after the 1967 animated film.^[16]Jon Favreau was confirmed as director on November 5, 2013.^[17] Favreau as a child used to watch Disney's 1967 animated film.^[9] He felt the need to strike a balance between the two films by retaining the buoyant spirit of the 1967 film, including some of its memorable songs, while crafting a film with more realism and peril. He also stressed the importance of nature and realized how things have shifted during Kipling's time and now, 'In Kipling's time, nature was something to be overcome. Now nature is something to be protected.'^[9] He was encouraged by Walt Disney Studios chairman Alan Horn to take advantage of the film's setting and story as an opportunity to use the latest advancements in photorealisticrendering, computer-generated imagery, and motion capture technologies.^[18] The story of the film is not independently taken from Kipling's works, but also borrows cinematic inspirations from other films, including the child-mentor relationship in Shane (1953), the establishment of rules in a dangerous world from Goodfellas (1990) and the use of a shadowy jungle figure in Apocalypse Now (1979).^[9]

Pixar Animation Studios assisted in the development of the story, as well as providing suggestions for the film's end credits sequence.^[19]

Filming and visual effects[edit]

Principal photography took place entirely on sound stages at L.A. Center Studios^[13] in downtown Los Angeles.^[10][20] The animal characters were created entirely in computer animation, with the assistance of footage of real animal movement, the actors recording their lines, and performance capture for reference.^[6] The production team underwent a thorough process to realistically convey the animals' speaking, while still making them perceptually believable to the audience. Favreau researched earlier films featuring anthropomorphic animals—including Walt Disney's animated features, such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Bambi, as well as modern films such as Babe—and adopted certain techniques from those films into The Jungle Book.^[13] Nearly 70 separate species of animals native to India are featured in the film, with several species being portrayed as '150% larger' than their actual counterparts.^[13]

Jim Henson's Creature Shop was brought in to provide animal puppet figures for Sethi to act against, although none appear in the finished film.^[21] The animal puppets were performed by Artie Esposito, Sean Johnson, Allan Trautman, and April Warren.^[1] Favreau utilized motion capture with certain actors, expressing a desire to avoid overusing the technology in order to prevent evoking an uncanny valley effect.^[6][11] For instance, Bill Murray's lifted eyebrow was incorporated into Baloo's facial gestures.^[18]

The Moving Picture Company (MPC) and Weta Digital created the film's visual effects.^[18] MPC developed new software for animating muscular structure in the animals.^[13] Around 1,000 remote jungle locations in India were photographed and used as reference in post-production.^[22] Weta was responsible for animating the King Louie sequence, with visual effects supervisor Keith Miller adding that, 'It was important for Jon to see Christopher Walken in the creature. So we took some of the distinctive Walken facial features—iconic lines, wrinkles and folds—and integrated them into the animated character.'^[23] Favreau expressed desire in wanting the film's 3D shots to imbue the abilities of the multiplane camera system utilized in Disney's earlier animated films.^[19] At Favreau's behest, the idea was extended into the film's version of the Walt Disney Pictures opening production logo, which was recreated as 'a hand-painted, cel-animated multi-plane logo' in homage to the animated films of that era, also incorporating the word 'Presents' in the same style as the 1967 film's opening credits.^[19] The film's ending also features the original physical book that opened the 1967 film.^[19]Velaikaran song download starmusiq.

Sound[edit]

Director Jon Favreau and composer John Debney sought to recreate the Fantasound experience Walt Disney, himself, had in mind. When mixing the soundtrack in Dolby Atmos, as Favreau said, 'we isolated instruments when we could. And in the sound mix, we created a Fantasound mix. If you see the film in Atmos, you will feel that there are instruments that move around the theater.'^[24] A mention for Fantasound appears in the film's closing credits.

Music[edit]

The musical score for The Jungle Book was composed and conducted by frequent Favreau collaborator John Debney,^[25] mostly drawing from George Bruns' original music. According to Debney, “Jon [Favreau] wanted a timeless sound to the score and I embraced that.'^[1] Debney created a theme for Mowgli that '[i]t's not overly emotional. It has an elegance and majesty to it. He’s becoming a man through this whole experience and that’s what [Debney and Favreau] wanted to say with his theme.'^[1] Shere Khan's theme was conformed of a three or four-note motif,^[1] while Baloo's 'called for quirky strings and bass' that is 'frolicking and emotional.'^[1] While Bagheera doesn't have a theme of his own, he's represented by French horns and strings,^[1] and Kaa's music features snake-like sounds,^[1] while King Louie's features many instruments, like percussion instruments, bass marimbas, etc.^[1]

Though Favreau decided not to make the film a musical, he and Debney incorporated several songs from the 1967 animated film.^[26] 'The Bare Necessities,' written by Terry Gilkyson, is performed by Murray and Sethi,^[9] and a cover version by Dr. John is featured in the end credits. 'I Wan'na Be Like You' and 'Trust in Me'—written by the Sherman Brothers—are performed by Walken and Johansson, respectively; Richard M. Sherman wrote revised lyrics for Walken's version of 'I Wan'na Be Like You.'^[9] Johansson's rendition of 'Trust in Me' was produced by Mark Ronson and appears in the end credits only.^[9]

Walt Disney Records released the film's soundtrack on April 15, 2016.^[27]

Track listing[edit]

All music composed by John Debney except where noted.

• Note 1. ^ Original 'When You Wish Upon a Star' melody composed by Leigh Harline; Walt Disney Pictures logo melody composed by Mark Mancina; 'The Jungle Book Overture' written by George Bruns.

Release[edit]

The film was originally scheduled for October 9, 2015, but the film's release date was later postponed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures to April 15, 2016.^[28][29] The film was released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinema in the United States,^[30] and is the first film to be released in Dolby Vision 3D (in a few select theaters in New York City and Chicago).^[31]The Jungle Book held its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre on April 4, 2016.^[32]

It was released on April 8 in 15 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Russia, Malaysia, and most notably in India a week ahead of its U.S. debut on April 15.^[33] The release date in India was strategic for the film as it coincided with the Indian New Year and was a holiday in most parts of the country.^[34] The film had a special Hindi version with famous actors giving their voices to the main characters, including Irrfan Khan as Baloo, Om Puri as Bagheera, Priyanka Chopra as Ka, Nana Patekar as Sher Khan and Shefali Shah as Raksha. As the Japanese anime series Jungle Book Shōnen Mowgli had been immensely popular in India in the 1990s, Disney India also commissioned a contemporary recording of 'Jungle Jungle Baat Chali Hai' (originally used for the popular Indian version of Jungle Book Shōnen Mowgli), overseen by the original Hindi song's composers Vishal Bhardwaj and Gulzar, and released it as part of the film's promotional campaign in India.^[35][36]

The film was released digitally on August 23, 2016, and on DVD and Blu-ray on August 30 (August 22 in the UK^[37]).

In China, where the film was locally known as Fantasy Forest, expectations were high, with projections going as high $154–200 million or more.^{[84][85][86][87]} Ultimately, it was unable to hit these marks.^[71] Before the release of the film in the state, Disney had a very successful run at the box office with Zootopia the previous month, in which anthropomorphic animals were the central figure.^[88]Forbes noted that The Jungle Book was precisely the sort of film that Chinese audiences love with its 3D visuals, heartwarming story, and talking animal cast.^[85] It earned around $12 million on its opening day, including $300,000 worth of previews from 65,000 screenings.^[85] Buoyed by good word of mouth and positive reception (albeit mostly from audiences with polarized reception from Chinese critics),^[89] it rose 72% on its second day to $20 million.^[87] Through its opening weekend it grossed $48.5 million, including $5.1 million from 279 IMAX screens, a new record for April release.^[58][90] Its opening marked the biggest Walt Disney Pictures film opening ever,^[91] the second-biggest for a family film (behind Kung Fu Panda 3), the second-biggest April debut (behind Furious 7), and the fourth-biggest Disney opening (behind Avengers: Age of Ultron, Iron Man 3, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens).^[92] It topped the daily box office through the whole opening week and went on to remain at the top of the box office for a second weekend, after dropping by a mere 20% to $29.8 million, despite facing some competitions.^[93] It ended its run there with a total of $150.1 million after thirty days of playing in theaters, adding $1.2 million on its last day. Albeit falling just below expectations, it nevertheless emerged as a huge financial success and becoming the fourth-biggest Disney release there.^[71][94]

In the United Kingdom and Ireland, it had an opening weekend total of £9.9 million ($14.1 million) from 594 theaters^[95] and in France with $8.1 million.^[74] Elsewhere, the highest openings were recorded in Russia and the CIS ($7.4 million), Germany ($5.1 million), Spain ($3.9 million), Australia ($2.8 million), Argentina ($2.3 million), and in Malaysia, where it scored the biggest opening weekend for a live-action Disney film with $2.3 million.^[73][74] In the UK, it became the first film of 2016 to earn over £5 million in three straight weekends and the first film since Jurassic World, Spectre, and Star Wars: The Force Awakens (all 2015 films) to achieve such an accomplishment,^[96] and the first film of 2016 to earn above £40 million ($58 million).^[97] In South Korea, it faced competition with Warcraft, but ended up debuting atop the charts with $6.2 million.^[98] It has so far grossed a total of $18 million there.^[99]

It opened in Japan on August 11, alongside the superhero film X-Men: Apocalypse^[91][100] and delivered a four-day opening of $6.2 million from 676 screens ($3 million in two days), debuting at second place behind The Secret Life of Pets. Although the opening figure was considered mediocre, Deadline Hollywood noted that Japan is a market that can see big multiples.^[101][102] It fell just 30% in its second weekend earning $2.1 million for an eleven-day total of $13.7 million.^[103][104]

In total earnings, its biggest markets outside of the US and Canada were China ($150.1 million), the United Kingdom ($66.2 million) and India ($38.8 million).^[94] It was the highest-grossing film of 2016 in Europe with a total of $209 million,^[105] the United Kingdom and Ireland,^[106] and in India (although it was later surpassed by Sultan, in terms of Hollywood/imported films, it is still the biggest).^[107]

Critical response[edit]

On review aggregatorRotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 95% based on 311 reviews, with an average rating of 7.75/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'As lovely to behold as it is engrossing to watch, The Jungle Book is the rare remake that actually improves upon its predecessors—all while setting a new standard for CGI.'^[112] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 77 out of 100, based on 49 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.^[113] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of 'A' on an A+ to F scale, while PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it an overall positive score of 92%. Ninety-seven percent of the audience gave the film an A or a B, and it got A's from both the under- and over-25 crowd and A+ among those under 18 years of age and also for the over-50 audience.^[31]

Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, 'Exceptionally beautiful to behold and bolstered by a stellar vocal cast, this umpteenth film rendition of Rudyard Kipling's tales of young Mowgli's adventures amongst the creatures of the Indian jungle proves entirely engaging, even if it's ultimately lacking in subtext and thematic heft.'^[114] Andrew Barker of Variety felt that this version 'can't rival the woolly looseness of Disney's 1967 animated classic, of course, but it succeeds on its own so well that such comparisons are barely necessary.'^[115]Robbie Collin of The Telegraph gave the film four stars out of five, and deemed it 'a sincere and full-hearted adaptation that returns to Kipling for fresh inspiration.'^[116]Alonso Duralde of The Wrap says 'This 'Book' might lack the post-vaudeville razzamatazz of its predecessor, but director Jon Favreau and a team of effects wizards plunge us into one of the big screen's most engrossing artificial worlds since Avatar.'^[117]Peter Bradshaw, writing for The Guardian, gave the film four out of five stars and felt that the film had a touch of Apocalypto in it, finding the plot elements to be similar to those in The Lion King. He wrote that the film was 'spectacular, exciting, funny and fun' and that it 'handsomely revives the spirit of Disney's original film.'^[118] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood wrote that the film had laughs, excitement, an exceptional voice cast and, most importantly, a lot of heart, calling it a cinematic achievement like no other. He particularly praised Murray's performance and the visual effects, deeming it 'simply astonishing.'^[119] Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly graded the film an 'A–,' calling it one of the biggest surprises of 2016. He, however, felt the two songs were rather unnecessary and distracting, and believed the film to be a little too frightening for children.^[120]

Richard Roeper of Chicago Sun-Times awarded the film three-and-a-half stars, pointing out the CGI as the apex achievement of the film. He labelled it 'a beautifully rendered, visually arresting take on Rudyard Kipling's oft-filmed tales' but found the musical numbers to be trivial, saying that without the musical numbers, the film might have been a more exhilarating streamlined adventure.^[121]Los Angeles Times'Kenneth Turan remarked that 'The Jungle Book is the kind of family film calculated to make even those without families wish they had one to take along.'^[122]Peter Travers of Rolling Stone awarded the film three-and-a-half stars out of four, labeling it scary and thrilling, yet unique and unforgettable, and adding that it 'fills us with something rare in movies today—a sense of wonder.'^[123]The Village Voice's Bilge Ebiri hailed the film as fast and light and that it 'manages to be just scary enough to make us feel the danger of solitude in the middle of a massive jungle, but never indulgent or gratuitous.'^[124]The New York Times'Manohla Dargis was less enthusiastic.^[125] Cath Clarke of Time Out compared Elba's character of Shere Khan to Scar from The Lion King, calling him 'baddie of the year.'^[126] Matt Zoller Seitz of RogerEbert.com also had high praise for Elba's portrayal of Shere Khan stating: 'His loping menace is envisioned so powerfully that he'd be scary no matter what, but the character becomes a great villain through imaginative empathy. We understand and appreciate his point-of-view, even though carrying it out would mean the death of Mowgli.'^[110]

The film's visual effects and 3D photography were compared to those of Avatar, Gravity, Hugo, and Life of Pi.^{[127][117][128]} Sarah Ward of Screen International wrote that the level of detail on display in the film 'is likely to evoke the same jaw-dropping reaction as James Cameron's box office topper.'^[129]Entertainment Weekly called it 'one of the few 3D movies that actually benefits from being in 3D.'^[120] The film also had a positive reception from Indian contemporary critics and publications,^[130] such as The Times of India,^[131]The Hindu,^[132]India Today,^[133]The Indian Express,^[134] and The Economic Times.^[135]

The film also had its share of criticism with most reviewers criticizing the inconsistent tone of the film and the director's indecision to stick to one vision. Sam C. Mac of Slant Magazine wrote, 'Jon Favreau draws heavily on his film's animated predecessor for plot, characterizations, songs, and set pieces, but doesn't know how to fit these familiar elements into his own coherent vision'.^[136] Josh Spiegel of Movie Mezzanine also echoed these feelings, saying that the film 'stumbles because the people involved aren't willing to fully commit to either making a near-shot-for-shot remake or going in a completely different direction'.^[137] Rene Rodriguez of the Miami Herald felt that the movie was soulless, writing that 'The better these talking beasts look, the more the film resembles a gorgeous screen saver. You admire The Jungle Book, but you can't lose yourself in it'.^[138]

Accolades[edit]

Sequel[edit]

Following the film's early financial and critical success, the studio has begun working on a sequel. Jon Favreau is reported to return as director and Neel Sethi is reported to reprise his role as Mowgli, while screenwriter Justin Marks is also in negotiations to return.^[139] On April 25, 2016, it was announced that Favreau and Marks will return to direct and write, and the sequel could potentially have a release sometime in 2019 and will be shot back-to-back with Favreau's remake of The Lion King.^{[140][141][142]} However, it was reported in March 2017 that the sequel was put on hold in order for Favreau to instead focus mainly on The Lion King.^[143] By January 12, 2018, Marks ended an early draft for the sequel, which he said will 'go further through' Kipling's material, as well as feature elements of Bill Peet's rejected drafts for the 1967 film.^[144]
