Very far from Jungle Book 1
Added 10/8/2009
This movie supports the theory that discourages producers from making part 2s. The story turns boring, and they went too far with the "true lies" approach, very far from the concept of the original movie.....not even my children enjoyed it.

Jungle Book
Added 9/12/2009
This is not as good as the first one, but really, how could it be? I didn't expect it to be as good and you shouldn't either. The story line is a bit weak, but all the old characters (with new voices) are back with a couple of new characters (the girl and a little brother). The songs are just as catchy and both my daughter and I find we are singing along. She is 3 and loves the first one-has been watching it for 2 yrs. She did watch this on repeatedly when we first got it. She still watches it, but pulls out the original about 4 times as often. I'd buy it again because of the songs AND it still does offer a repreive from the countless Dora and Diego videos:)

Fun for the Family

After so many years between Disney's "Jungle Book" and the followup, it appeared to have been made with no interval; though our favorite actors who brought to jungle animation life were not in the DVD, it was a continuation of the first story and everyone looked the same age as in the original. I especially enjoyed the songs but now forget which was my favorite. The snake was still the villain plus the tiger which, I think, would scare small sensitive children. Seeing some Harry Potter early movies on t.v., some of those meanies would scare a child more than these animated songsters. Brett and Crissy were taken to see every one of them, but I wondered how she sat through some of the hard-core violence. This Jungle Book 2 is delightful and easy to enjoy.

More like the Jungle Brochure

Not exactly a "bare necessity" for a movie collection here. I just watched this and what I saw was the stark difference between what Disney animation was in the 1960's (The Original Jungle Book; Robin Hood; Original Fox and Hound; The Aristocats) and what it has recently become.
It took me a while to grasp what looks wrong about this movie, and what it is seems to be that it looks like multiple ways of rendering art are superimposed in a way that doesn't integrate them very well. The original Jungle Book looks like an oil painting (to quote one of the creators of this movie from the special features) but this movie looks like some inordinately brightly colored and rather flat dimensionless matte artwork with a combination of animated drawings and computer generated 3D animation.
Or to put it briefly, a group of computer people got together and threw together several different ways of creating images, way over did it, and then congratulated themselves for being great artists. Oh, and while they were at it they forgot to come up with a story. A real story would have helped.
One good thing this movie has going for it is the voice acting talent. It really sounded like the original Jungle Book, even if it looked very different.
So the bottom line is by all means try to see this movie before you shell out the money and reserve precious shelf space for this rehash of a beloved Disney classic.
