Eric Stevenson Back in the days when Disney was making all those bad direct-to-video sequels, they did manage to switch the formula around a bit...by releasing these would be sequels in theaters. There's just no reason at all for them to do this. Were they over budget and decided to just put one of these boring things in theaters? I know there's no way it'll ever be part of the Disney animated canon. If it was, this would probably be the worst entry in their entire series. This is why people are actually looking forward to a "Frozen" sequel in theaters. With the new grounds set by CGI, we actually have the ability to make the characters more three dimensional in every sense of the word.The story is just Mowgli getting into trouble and considering going back to the jungle. I'd much rather be watching "TaleSpin", arguably the most enjoyable version I have seen of this. I liked the original "Jungle Book" but it definitely isn't one of my favorite Disney movies. This may be why I'm so freaking eager to see that live-action version that's in theaters right know. I know for a fact it would be better than this. This is by no means an awful film, it just has no reason to exist whatsoever. The only redeeming qualities are the voice actors, which honestly do a pretty good job at everything. Tony Jay and John Goodman are lots of fun to listen to. It still ends the exact same way the original movie did, so there's no point in it.Thank you Disney, for discontinuing these bad sequels. I wouldn't make fun of them because I think they're some evil corporation. I would make fun of them because they occasionally make bad products. ** out of ****.

kill-the-boxtrolls I watched this before The Jungle Book, so it's either that it was because I was young or I didn't see The Jungle Book but at that age, The movie was boring.This sequel depicts Mowgli's adventures in the man-village along with his friends, later, he returns to the jungle. Shanti is even more annoying in this one, last time we saw her, she was 9 and in the sequel, she is 11. I'm pretty glad that her voice didn't sound like a woman but the voice sounded kind of whiny. She has a toddler for a brother named Ranjan who isn't any better, the two are just plain annoying.Thinking about this movie makes me mad. I can't believe that Disney would ruin all these great movies with sequels but at least this one's the best I've seen out of them but this is just a rehash of the first movie.Now, if you're curious, I wouldn't mind you giving this a go but it's too short.

IndrajitGhosh The Jungle Book 2 is by far one of the worst sequels (whether Disney or Non-Disney) I have ever seen. It has a weak storyline, below average songs and terrible animation.I remember when I heard that there was going to be a sequel to the Jungle Book (one of my favourite Disney films), I was extremely excited: my excitement went to waste. What makes this film even worse is how great the first Jungle Book film was. I think the same can be said for most Disney sequels (e.g. Pocahontas 2, The Hunchback of Notre Dame 2 etc).Quite frankly, I like to imagine that this sequel does not exist.

vip_ebriega Review Summary: A dull Disney effort that should have been released straight to video.It's sounds rather strange that Disney was once the maker of all these childhood treats, yet know, it seems that they are also the makers of these nightmares. Cash-grabs that is! How do you explain JUNGLE BOOK 2? It's a movie so desperate in its attempt to cash in on the audiences of the oft-called classic original that it forget that it should have been released straight to video, not that it matters. Either way it's just bad, really bad. Kids may love it though. God help us! I should say this sequel picks up where the original left off, but I should be honest. This is nothing more than a rehash of the first film, with more gratuitous musical numbers, more annoying talking animals and even sillier slapsticks, Disney-style. Since we left Mowgli (voiced by Haley Joel Osment), he was finally at home in the "Man-village" while Baloo (voiced by John Goodman) and Bagheera (voiced by Bob Joles) are safely back in the jungle, away from the menacing Shere Khan (voiced by Tony Jay). Of course, in any sequel, no story comes to a close for long. Pretty soon, little Mowgli longs to be back in the jungle. Luckily, good ol' Baloo is missing him badly and decided to pay him a little visit. And not so luckily, Shere Khan's back with a vengeance.The animation, despite a few bright spots, has nothing to it. It's just pedestrian. But the animation is the least of the problems. How about story? About a fresh new take on the characters? How about a wider appeal? Nothing. Just pure cornball Saturday-matinée animation for the kids. The voice cast is pretty good, but they give nothing to the picture they serve on. Goodman's good-guy voice is just getting really tiresome now. The late Tone Jay does provide a nice accent on the villainy of Shere Khan, too bad it's just regrettably forgettable.It sure ain't worth on the big screen, but is it worth a rental? Unless it's the only family movie available other than BABY GENIUSES or the like, you might as well.Rating: * out of 5.
