Watched a cracking film last night. I thought it did what it set out to do 100%, and to cap it off it's updating/remaking a classic - which I'm normally deadly against. Just leave the classics alone, stop ruining them! And this film in question is... The Jungle Book!

Because no matter your age I think everyone grew up having seen the original; whether you've kids, grandkids, or you're sat bored of an evening, and really don't think it would 'be your thing' I'd say have a go, definitely. And even watching the original '67 recently sort of helped a bit, as you could see the affectionate nods to the animated version. The effects are astonishing, and a joy to watch, instead of just pointing all the time saying ''well that's CGI, and that, and that'' It doesnt trample all over the original, oh, and doesnt have the gooey namby-pamby 'boy winds up with girl' at the end, either! 


A bit left-field, I know, but there you go, I'd say give it a watch at some point

I'm looking forward to this . . . . . Sausage Party !

Totally stupid I know, and I understand it's pretty vulgar, but . . .

Saw it myself a few weeks ago on 

Much more like the original book and must agree, its a great film

Glad you liked it 

Done some digging, and I discover that King Louie wasnt in the book, a complete fabrication on Disney's part!

Also i'll possibly be giving the Sausage Party a miss, however, don't knock anything trill I've tried it

Most reviews I've read slated it - which is a shame as the trailers looked pretty good.. it sounds like the good bits are all in the trailer and 2 hours of d*ck jokes is just too much

[Diamond Black Geezer]

Don't recall any d!ck jokes in the Jungle Book.


Apart from the 'Bare Necessities', of course, that's just innuendo and filth all the way.

Saw The Jungle Book a couple of weeks back, not sure it's a family film now, as I thought it was a lot darker than the 1960s one.

Enjoyable enough though, and the effects used to good effect

Bambi?

Was there really any need for a crazed member of the NRA to shoot his mum?

As far as I'm aware, the original Jungle Book was the only animated Disney film to not feature a death...however, prepare yourselves, as that has been changed in the newest version! Not gratuitous and it does actually move the film gravitas up a notch in terms of how literally 'life or death' the situation is.

If Skynet's mission was to return to the past to give Sarah Connor a parking ticket, The Terminator wouldn't have quite the gravity it does

Most other Disney films, agreed, it's just death for death's sake!! But what do you expect from a dedicated Nazi sympathiser?

Bambi?

Yes. He just loved venison !

Rumour has it the man behind the rifle was a young D. Trump.

  Ahh!!! Because Bambis mum was brown!
