‘The Jungle Book’ (2016) Review

I have to admit that one of the modern cinema trends I’m most turned off by is this cluster of live-action remakes of fairy tales and classic stories that had been previously immortalised as animations. It’s not so much the principle of them, just that I’ve found them to be mostly terrible. Disney’s latest entry to the team, a remake of their 1967 movie The Jungle Book is probably the best one I’ve seen yet, though that’s obviously a very low bar to leap.
