The original Jungle Book was inventive, whitty, uplifting and charming. The characters had depth and a beauty that in its time was unique and wonderful. The original Disney Jungle Book story was told with great feeling that was a source of fun and inspiration to me growing up as an autistic child. I can honestly say the original Disney Jungle Book movie was the only movie I loved that also touched my heart.
Jungle Book 2 is is just a very badly executed attempt at recreating the awesomeness of the The original Disney Jungle Book. Jungle Book 2 fails in all attempts to recreate any of the magic of the original Disney Jungle Book. Jungle Book 2 is endlessly bland overall filled with nothing at all to justify wasting a moment of your life watching. You will be better and more deeply entertained for hours watching newly poured cement dry compared to watching a moment of Jungle Book 2. Don't Waste your time wacthing this garbage it is not worth anyones time or money. It gets one star only because the amazon system does not allow me to post zero stars or better still stars in negative numbers.
 Execellent Jungle Movie January 26, 2006

I watched Jungle Book 2 movie at the behest of my two young daughters aged 5 and 9. What a thrill. I enjoyed the excellent sound tracks particularly "Jungle Rhythm". The special effects were excellent and the dancing by all creatures great and small was rhythmic and great to watch.
The kids love the movie and they watch it often. This is good entertainment for the kids (and the young at heart)that I recommend to any parent.
 This Sequel Is Not So Bad. It Is Only Unnecessary. January 3, 2006

What it this? Disney's original animated film `The Jungle Book' was made in 1967, and after almost 40 years they released a sequel `The Jungle Book 2.' What is the point of doing this anyway?
To be fair, the sequel is not a horrible film. It has more colors (more light colors in the jungle) and comes with the original's exhilarating `Bare Necessities.' Who can dislike this song? And the introductory part using stick puppets is cleverly done, letting us into the world of the wild child Mowgli and his friends.
But after that, about 10 minutes or so, the film suddenly starts to look not-so-ambitious attempt to re-tell the story of the original, which should have been ended 40 years ago. In this sequel Mowgli, who is fed up with the rules of the village, goes back to the jungle where his friend big bear Baloo is living and dancing to that charming song alone. Now Baloo is happy to meet the boy again for he is lonely and needs a partner to do the musical number.
But we are not so happy. That is partly because their reunion virtually ignores the original film's conclusion, and partly because we know the same story has just begun again. The difference between the 1967 version and this one is that Shanti also steps into the jungle with a little boy Ranjan, but this slight difference means little to us because both of them are quite unmemorable.
After all, the problem is not the fact that the story of `The Jungle Book 2' in fact retreads that of the original because few people would still remember the details of the film made 40 years ago. The real drawback is that in `JB2' nothing interesting happens except the last 10 minutes where the bad tiger tries to kill Mowgli. The film provides musical scenes (which are decent themselves), but they only stretch the thin story. Even though I love the song Bare Necessities, I don't want to listen to it three times in a short film that only runs 72 minutes.
To me (I am living in Japan) the most shocking thing about the film is that like the so-so film `Return to Neverland' `The Jungle Book 2' was originally made for video, and then was chosen for theatrical release in USA and UK. That they can do such a thing is as unaccountable as the company's choice of the material for the sequel.
A good sequel November 10, 2005

I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie when I found out that this movie was coming out. I decided to read reviews about this movie, but the reviews weren't any help, so I decided to watch the movie for myself. When I watched the movie, I thought that the movie was a good movie, and I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of Disney movies.
