Amazon.com:
After a delightful opening, in which jungle boy Mowgli (voiced by Haley Joel Osment) recaps much of the original Jungle Book in a sprightly shadow puppet show, The Jungle Book 2 swiftly turns into a carbon copy of the splendidly swinging previous movie. After his old pal Baloo the bear (voiced by John Goodman) draws Mowgli away from the man-village, with all its work and rules, and back into the glorious indolence of the jungle, the movie repeats--in a less energetic form--an encounter with Kaa the snake, the cockney vultures, a musical number at the monkey's palace, the menace of Shere Khan the tiger, and even the song 'The Bare Necessities.' The only difference is that there's a girl named Shanti along for the ride; sadly, her character is so bland that it doesn't do much to justify the movie's existence. --Bret Fetzer

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Enjoyable but not memorable
Note: The review that follows is of the Special Edition of a film first released in 2003.
Comparisons with the earlier version released 41 years ago (featuring the voices of Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders, and Sterling Holloway among others) are inevitable and perhaps unfair. As I began to watch this sequel, I tried very hard to experience it and then judge it on its own merits. All issues considered, my rating of it is explained as follows: I think ... Read More
Rating: - Falls somewhere in the middle of the Disney direct-to-video spectrum
There is no shortage of comment about the relative merit or lack thereof concerning Disney's direct-to-video sequels. I'd prefer to look at each on a case-by-case basis. Several of these sequels, especially The Lion King 1 1/2, that have a lot going for them, particularly when they take the characters into interesting territory but retain the look and flavor of the original.
It's much tougher when contemporary artists, writers -- and the corporate decision makers who have multiple company ... Read More
Rating: - Special Edition: Familiar Territory with Extras
This 2003 sequel to the beloved 1967 Disney movie "The Jungle Book" is basically familiar territory that rarely strays far from the original as far as its characters, plot, and villains. Yet, it is an enjoyable romp that makes for a nice addition to the original. In the 5 years since its release, computer animation has come a long way, so some of the computer shadings and other effects seem almost primitive compared to what we are accustomed to; the harsh computer shading detracts a bit from the visual ...

Rating:  - "Jungle Book 2" Barely Necessary Sequel to Classic Film
Disney's 2003 sequel "Jungle Book 2," newly released in "special edition" DVD, was a missed opportunity. Not because 1967's original, based on Rudyard Kipling's oft-filmed book, came 36 years before as the last animated film Walt Disney directly touched.
Nor because most of the original's distinguished voice cast couldn't return. Phil Harris (the first "Baloo"), George Sanders ("Shere Khan"), and the legendary Louie Prima ("King Louie") had passed since the original. But John Goodman ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie
This is a very good movie that teaches about honesty and courage. It's simple, has some fun music, and is not too scarey for younger (3 years old) children.
