Count me as one of - obviously - few people who don't care for this new version, which is certainly closer to the Kipling's book. Walt's version had charm and witt. I would not take a young child to the new one; way too scary and charmless, even with the silly warbling over the end crédits by Miss Scarlett! ;-) And .. such a wordy film! May I also say that the kid is not a very convincing Mowgli to me! Well, I know it's making big money (They did spend some big money on it too!) but does that make it a "goog" movie?! Most say : "Walt would like it!" ... How do we know, really?!? This new work makes me think of the silly motto used some years ago for the Disney Parks: "Ride the movies!" This film is not a film; it's a roller-coaster ride! To me, noisy and thrilling but without a heart!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-41445953812491676942016-04-18T09:15:57.058-07:002016-04-18T09:15:57.058-07:00much respect. great acting on top of the task of ...much respect. great acting on top of the task of animating him coming forward straight on to camera.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-18388527261676822252016-04-18T06:14:35.996-07:002016-04-18T06:14:35.996-07:00I love the 1967 version and also the book.

I think that's something that drawn animation can do better than photoreal CG. I think drawn animation suspends disbelief better because it's NOT real, and it makes a relationship between the artists and the audience. Even the most realistically drawn animation still looks like drawings (Richard Williams type stuff).<br />I didn't know about Eric Cleworth, though, fantastic weighty animation!Marc Hendryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17549932443429596568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-14010605109787491062016-04-16T20:29:12.052-07:002016-04-16T20:29:12.052-07:00I suppose it is difficult to make those mouth move...I suppose it is difficult to make those mouth movements work on animals as realistically rendered as they appear.Chris Sobieniakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838106041175506925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-23325000749103040002016-04-16T15:37:12.798-07:002016-04-16T15:37:12.798-07:00Love this.
