For all ages


AT A time when Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Splash and other children channels are popular, will a full-length animation film like "Jungle Book-2" bring in the kids? Today, Hollywood refers to "Harry Potter" and its sequels "Lord Of The Rings" trilogy as children films.

But if you have grown up on Walt Disney movies, their latest "Jungle Book-2" is an ideal children's film, which addresses a child's sense of wonder and imagination. In the process, it appeals to the child in every adult too. "Jungle Book-2" begins shortly after the original film ended with Mowgli torn between the two worlds. The man-cub now lives in the village among humans learning about the love of a family for the first time in life. However, Mowgli misses his animal buddies like Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther and there are others like the man-eating tiger Sher Khan and the snake Kaa who are in search of him! Based on Rudyard Kipling's classic tales of India, "The Jungle Book" was initially released in 1967, the last cartoon Walt Disney directly supervised. This sequel 36 years later is sparkling entertainment for all ages.
