My children enjoyed Jungle Book 2 and it did have some nice moments. However, overall the movie was painful to watch. If Disney is going to release these DTV productions to theaters they need to make them at least as good as Return to Neverland or The Tigger Movie. Thanks for the review, MouseBear

It was inferior in many ways, it would have made a good tv show but was not the calirber for a feature. Number one they could have come up with a better story line, the first film tied it all up and they felt they could add to it????? The animation was passable but the backgrounds were awful, not nearly as good as the first. The jungle was a fantasy type place, as much a character as the other characters that lived in it. I like John Goodman on the other things he has done but trying to immitate the late Phil Harris was not his best per- formance. Disney is usually first rate in doing voice work so that it sounds like the original but in this case I thought John Goodman wasted his time. The songs were forgettable as was most of the movie. To me there is only one movie that has been worse and that was Cinderella II, I saw 101 Dalmations II and thought it was very faithful to the original and honored it, but not this one. I feel I have wasted my admission on this one, something I have never felt before.
