Loved the original cartoon from the 60's but this was a completely different experience which I thoroughly enjoyed. This screen experience is totally unique making it difficult to differentiate what is real and what is imaginary. I you like CGI, you'll love this movie. They have pushed the limits to a whole new level in using this technology. Combined with the talents of many A-list actors, this movie is a must see for all movie-goers.

Was really impress by the CG animals, they didn't look fake. The winks to the original and classic Disney masterpiece were amazing. A great remake for new generations to discover.

My friend and I both quite enjoyed the film! We thought the kid actor did a wonderful job and the CG animals were incredibly well done, so photo-realistic.

A visually stunning masterpiece! Even though it was almost two hours long the movie flew by ... I was very entertained. In my opinion it is a movie for older kids as well (just a heads up).

I am 40ish and I really enjoyed this movie - especially the 3D effects! Indeed, I found myself jumping out of my seat a few times and feeling chilly as it began to rain (on screen.)
I would recommend that children 8 and older watch this movie (some parts may be too frightening for children younger than that.)
It is a movie for EVERYONE! (with a wee MORAL to go along with it.)

The Jungle Book was a long time coming but definately worth the wait. Jon Favreau made magic with computer generated animation and the talents of one young boy Neel Sethi - Moegli. The voices of Bill Murray as Baloo, Idris Elba as Shere Khan, Ben Kingsley as Bagheera and Christopher Walken as King Louie were very well cast as they were recognizable and each brought their personalities to their roles. Very up to date in language and expressions which added to it's charm. I am sure this is a movie to watch over and over again but seeing it for the first time on a big screen is a must. I would however not recommend it for very young children as perhaps some of the jungle experiences might be frightening or not understood. All in all a movie not to be missed.
