A wilderness expert isn't happy with the depiction of Mowgli and his skills in the live-action The Jungle Book remake. Starring Neel Sethi as Mowgli, the 2016 remake depicted a young boy trying to survive in the wilderness with the help of the jungle's many animals and resources. The movie was a massive success, generating over $950 million against a budget of approximately $175 million. That does not, however, mean that it was accurate. 3q2v1f

There have been a few Disney live-action remakes of classic animated movies with Fresh Rotten Tomatoes scores, but most of them don't compare to the scores of the original. While Rotten Tomatoes scores are a subjective rating system, it's interesting to see how critic and audience reactions differ between different versions of the same story told decades apart.

A recent bit of movie trivia posted has inspired a theory that The Jungle Book and The Mummy take place in the same world. Stephen Sommers directed and had a hand in writing both films, which were released in 1994 and 1999, respectively. Having been involved in The Mummy's sequels and many of its Scorpion King spin-offs, Sommers's most recent work as a writer-director is the 2013 adaptation of Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas.

Walt Disney gave a copy of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Bookto one of his writers and said: "The first thing to do is not to read it." (As per Art and Animation: From Mickey Mouse to Hercules by Bob Thomas.) So from this alone, it's clear that Disney's final movie was intended to not be a loyal adaptation to Kipling's novels.

Disney has always been fantastic at putting together enjoyable soundtracks for its movies, andThe Jungle Book is no exception to that. The movie features a real range of songs, from fast-paced to much slower, with some of Disney's most iconic numbers taking place within this movie.

The Jungle Book is a classic story that has been told in several different ways, but the Disney animation is one of the most well-known. The story follows Mowgli as he grows up within the jungle when Shere Khan learns of his presence, which leads to him trying to escape before the tiger gets hold of him.

Baloo is a beloved character from The Jungle Book. He's voiced by Phil Harris in the 1967 film, and the fun-loving, easygoing, lovable bear had plenty of witty and funny quotes throughout the film. "You better believe it!" is among his favorite sayings. Baloo was ready to adopt Mowgli and raise him as his own out in the jungle, and proved to be a wonderful "papa bear."

By this point, it’s pretty much accepted as fact that the villains are what make Disney movies great. Whether it’s Maleficent or Scar, these are the people that keep the narrative running, that keep the viewer interested in what’s going on-screen and, of course, give the hero something to do. After all, there’s no story if there’s no villain to fight against.
