best movie i've ever seen.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Animation - For some reason this cartoon manages to make every location seem like a small artificial set. Though the animation is decent, it doesn't look like a lot of effort was put in to make this movie look very three-dimensional. Or maybe it was and this is just down to this movie being old. If so, then it doesn't stand the test of time in this area. Plot - This movie, though entertaining has a lot of filler and plot holes. Still good though. Songs - This movie is a musical, and most of the songs are pretty good. Characters - The characters in this movie aren't very developed but at the same time they're kinda interesting.
I grew up watching The Jungle Book since I was 5 years old. It gave me the best part of my childhood in my lifetime. The animated film based on the original book, always keep me happy and entertained due to its brilliant music, amazing voice acting, smooth old school animation, and its simple yet enjoyable plot. The characters in the movie are charming and appealing, and the music is on tune on every song they played. The story of The Jungle Book is agreeably decent and simple, enough for it to joyed throughout the film. Overall, this movie is indeed a classic and it is one of my favorite Disney movies ever.
Disney's adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's legendary book of the same name does filter out the dark tone of its source material in an effort to make it more family friendly and certainly was a cinematic gem of its time but looking back now, it's a tad too juvenile, simple & innocent for my taste.The story of The Jungle Book follows Mowgli, a feral child raised by a family of wolves who is being escorted by Bagheera the panther to his own kind & for his own safety as Shere Khan has returned to the jungle. On their way, they meet Baloo the Bear who takes the young kid under his wing.Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, this is one of those lighthearted, sugarcoated musicals that are in tune with Disney's early animated classics & is clearly aimed at kids. The hand-drawn animation is admirable but the plot becomes repetitive after a while, is slow despite its 78 minutes runtime & nothing interesting ever happens in it.The songs aren't catchy, the dance numbers are distracting, and the overly juvenile portrait makes it a tedious film to sit through. Leaving me bored for the most part & unmoved by everything it had in store, The Jungle Book is a film that very much belongs to its era and the only way I can imagine it working today is on the strength of nostalgia.
This is hands down one of the greatest films ever made! it doesn't matter that its an animated film or that it was made in 1967, or that it is only 78 minutes long. The story, and the characters are all exciting and have a lot of depth in them. Much more then modern day 3 or 4 hour epic adventure movies. The film, has a very balanced pace with a lot of drama, musical scores and even comedic moments. This what all films should strive to be. Not boring and not long, and always play with the viewers emotion. Leaving him wanting to see the film again and again.This is a film that has lasted already over 50 years and is still enjoyed by today's children and Adults as well. Baloo is one the most iconic bears of Cinema, his song The bare necessities is considered to be one of the greatest cinema songs of all time!If you get the chance to have a look at this film, do not hesitate!!It is one of the greatest films of all time
