Jungle Book, The

Stunning special effects dominate this suspenseful, family-oriented, entertaining, colorful, 3D, 105-minute remake of the 1967 animated film based on Rudyard Kipling's classic novel in which an orphaned Indian boy (Neel Sethi), who was raised by a wolf pack (voiceovers by Lupita Nyong'o, Giancarlo Esposito, et al.), is protected by a panther (voiceover by Ben Kingsley), a honey-loving grizzly bear (voiceover by Bill Murray), and other animal friends when a sneaky boa constrictor (voiceover by Scarlett Johansson), a gargantuan orangutan (voiceover by Christopher Walken), and a revenge-driven leopard (voiceover by Idris Elba) threaten the boy's life as he journeys to return to his own kind at the man village; may be too scary for young children.
