Now living in the Man Village, Mowgli (Osment) lives with
the girl who lured him in, Shanti (Whitman), adopted brother Ranjan (Connor
Funk) and their parents (Rhys-Davies and Veena Bidasha). But Mowgli wishes to
return to the fun of the jungle. However, Shere Khan (Jay) has returned and
seeks revenge.
Sometimes, a revenge plot can be pretty powerful. But the
way Disney did this one isn’t all that great and doesn’t do the type of story
any justice. This one is basically just a rehash of the first movie, in that
Shere Khan wants to kill Mowgli. However, he’s gone through character
derailment, ceasing to be the distinguished gentleman hunter. While that could
be considered development it just seems too hard a shift. Plus, having the
buzzards mock him the whole movie gets old.
I’ll admit though, the voices match very well in regards to
replacing the people from the original movie. But they should have tried
harder. All I heard is Sora as Mowgli, Sully as Baloo and Gimli as Mowgli’s
adopted father.
The songs are also pretty grating, even the new version of “Bare
Necessities.”
