What is wrong with you people? As far as I'm concerned, this film and the original films are two totally and completely different things, and I love both of them (I am not one to compare).The animation was excellant,and fluid and the backgrounds were more solid; The songs are alright, and some are easy to remember (well one to me that is).

I love the movie opening, when Mowgli was telling his new family and new best friend, Shanti, about his former life in the jungle through a puppet show. As he gets to the part where he fought Shere Khan, the ferocious tiger, Ranjan decides to put his own twist on the story and in doing so, manages to destroy the set and embarrass Shanti in the process. Ranjan’s comment that, “Shanti blinked her big, beautiful, brown eyes at you. And you follow her into our village,” prompts Shanti to turn red and deny she did anything of the sort. This prompts a little argument between Mowgli and Shanti, forcing Mowgli’s father to break it up by revealing that his wife used the same trick on him. And also, my favorite musical sequence is when Mowgli and the village kids sang "Jungle Rythmn."
