Jean, Wow, this is a big, gorgeous, enthralling movie. The plot is much more than you would expect. And it draws you into a world of trees and rivers and animals. It starts where Avatar left off. Jon Favreau, the director has his hand on all the knobs in this one. It may be too dark and intense for some of the little ones in some scenes, for example, the tiger has a battle with the black panther. The voices are so well done such as Bill Murray as the bear. What is worth of the price of admission alone is Christopher Walken as the the talking and singing voice of King Louis , the leader of all the monkeys in what looks like the temples at Angkor Wat. It is a stroke of genius using that voice. I do not think anyone will be disappointed. Our audience applauded at the end of the movie. Dad
P. S. In the closing credits, "The Jungle Book" book pages are turned and they are "pop-up pages" wherein as the names are shown, the pop-ups come to life and continue action of certain of their scenes. It is very cleverly done.
