The Jungle Book 2 (DVD) ... Joel Osment ... / DVD released 08 September, 2003 at Walt Disney Home Video / Features of the DVD: Animated, PAL / Disney's Man Cub Mowgli (voice of Haley Joel Osment) is back in this animated sequel to the 1967 classic. Mowgli, now living with an adopted family in a nearby jungle village, is homesick for his jungle adventures and his good friends, like Baloo the Bear (voice of John Goodman) and Bagheera the Panther (voice of Bob Joles). But because the villagers believe that the jungle is a dangerous place for children, Mowgli isn't allowed to visit. Bored and lonely, he dreams of his carefree days in the jungle and finally runs away from his new home to visit the jungle and the friends he left behind. This time he is followed by his neighbour Shanti (voice of Mae Whitman) and together they meet Baloo and friends for more adventures. The fun-loving, jovial bear is overjoyed to see his old friend, and a little jealous of Shanti, but together they share some spirited JUNGLE BOOK moments, to the tune of original classics like Bare Necessities and I Wanna Be Like You and new hits like W.I.L.D. Mowgli is thrilled that things in the jungle haven't changed, until he realises that Shere Khan (voice of Tony Jay) the Tiger is thirsty for revenge and threatening to harm his jungle family. Together with Shanti, Baloo, Bagheera, and some new faces like Lucky the Vulture (Phil Collins) Mowgli must fight Shere Khan one last time.

... have different voices! Sure, they're similar to the original, but they're noticeably different too. For a purist, this just isn't good enough! Also, the animation is CGI, so the old hand-drawn style has gone too. Finally, the orchestra sound-track has disappeared, leaving just a few sound effects to power the movie. The plot is a real shame - it's basically the intent of the film-makers to re-introduce everyone from the first film, such as the vultures, the elephants, the monkeys etc, and the story comes up with...more

WHAT IS IT ABOUT: This 2003 sequel to the Disney classic sees Baloo missing Mowgli, and heading off to the man village to see him. The two run off into the jungle together, little knowing that Sheer Khan is still there waiting for him. IS IT ANY GOOD: You're probably only likely to watch this film if, like me, you've got bored of your kids watching the original. Any sequel should only be seen following the original, but that is where this film falls down. Shock horror: the animals have different voices! Sure, they're similar to the original, but they're noticeably different too. For a purist, this just isn't good enough! Also, the ... Read the complete review

My Son is almost two and believe it or not this is his favourite DVD at the moment (I personally prefer Lion King). Whilst searching for a suitable DVD to keep him occupied at our local Woolworths we came across this one. I decided to give it a go as I want to get as many disney films as possible and felt that this would at least add to the collection. Now I'm glad I did. Every time my son wants to watch this film he says 'Baloo mam'. I don't mind because I find that this is a good entertainer, especially for younger children like my son. I have sat down on many occasions myself with my two year old to watch this film and can't understand why so ... Read the complete review

Easter holidays come with the added pressure of keeping your children occupied. One obvious ploy is to take 'em to the flicks so it was with a spring in my step and a song I my heart that I hurled the kids into the car and, nay, flew to my local UCG to catch Jungle Book 2. I did have the concern that I really don't like sequels though. Inevitably, they are re-hashed workings of the original with pretty much the same story made solely to generate more greenbacks for the film studio concerned. But surely Disney wouldn't disappoint?
