Outstanding script and action
Wow, was this movie exciting! The famous story was well designed for screen and the action was riveting! The old special effects are great! Very exciting, and you feel like you are viewing a masterpiece like Gone With The Wind. Sounds of speaking are a bit fuzzy to understand, but it eventually flowed into my ears better. The animal training is amazing. I will enjoy viewing this over and over.
Movie Review
The DVD was in perfect condition and it was nice to finally find this movie. The only thing I didn't like was the DVD menu.
Little or no ressemblance to the Kipling story. Laughable production values
I got this movie for my 6 year old nephew who loved listening to an audiobook of Kipling's original. Earlier we had tried watching the Disney version which had a couple of catchy songs, terrible animation, a silly feel-good plot, and a cast of characters that must have been dreamed up by people unacqainted with Kipling's timeless masterpiece. Despite the best efforts of Sabu the Indian Boy, who starred in the much loved "Thief of Baghdad, this version was even worse than Disney's. Patched together with bits of grainy zoo footage, my nephew was simultaneously bored by the hokey puppy love and scared by the roaing tiger Shir Khan. Now I just hope he can return to the audiobook and forget about the movie versions.
