Customer Ratings & Reviews

For the new live action play on cartoons, this is the best of them. Family loves it. Some scenes might be too much for younger viewers.

This is the third classic Disney movie brought to life with real actors. Another film for the entire family to watch.

We still purchase DVD's for our enjoyment. This way the movie is available for anyone to view on any TV in the house.

Did a really good job with this one stayed with storyline and did a great with everything else worth watching.

Anything Disney is awesome, and this is no exception. Love the 3D. A must for every parent and grandparents library!

The Jungle Book [Includes Digital Copy] [Blu-ray/DVD] [2016] Live animation remake of the classic

The Jungle Book is a great movie to sit down and watch and just indulge yourself in the movie.

Loved the movie. Definitely enjoy the original the most but they did a great job with the animation.

Sharing it now with my niece and nephew. They both love the movie and enjoy the songs very much.

Purchased for the grandkids and it’s a good investment. They never tire of seeing this classic movie

What's the point? That's the question director Jon Favreau and the brass at Disney had to answer if they were going to justify the money and man hours required to bring the visually stunning "live action" version of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book to the big screen some fifty years after the Disney animated version taught generations upon generations of children the bare necessities of life. What would be the point of retelling this story to the current generation in an updated form? What more could they bring to it that children might not elicit from that 1967 original? In short, would there be more of a point to it than simply showing off the technical wizardry of Weta Digital and their visual effects work? The funny thing is, we more than likely remember the 1967 version through nostalgia-filled eyes that cloud our judgment of the actual film. In going back and watching that film-the one I very much enjoyed as a child despite being born in the late eighties-it quickly became apparent there wasn't much substance to the story and that the film was more a collection of little scenes filled with different, but interesting animal personalities that featured catchy songs written by the Sherman brothers and very little more until Shere Khan showed up at the end to create some type of tension. And so, going into this latest version of Kipling's story that would pull from both that source material while being heavily inspired by the '67 film the biggest improvement they could make would be in the story department by crafting a narrative that held a driving force with serious forward momentum and a throughline plot that, at the very least, would add a little more significance and reason to seeing the film in the first place. With screenwriter Justin Marks (whose only prior feature credits include a Street Fighter film and a TV movie) though, we are brought the one thing I couldn't even have imagined to add and that was a cohesion to the thinly connected events of the original animated movie. Giving purpose and connection that take Mowgli (Neel Sethi) from point A to point B lends the film a real ambition making the stunning visuals only more of an achievement.

My husband enjoyed the live action version of this fim much more than the animated version

Got this movie because my kids enjoy watching it. Love the way this movie looks on my 4K tv.

The Jungle Book is great movie and I love that Disney has redone it in a real life version.

this a good family movie your whole family can watch good story Disney always does it right

Keeps your attention and amazing how this movie was originally a Disney cartoon.

Got this for 10 bucks a surprise from Disney doesn’t lower there prices but just love it

Of course it's hard to compare to the original. But was still a pretty good movie. I appreciated all the big actors and actresses that were apart of recreating this home classic.

Director Jon Favreau does a great job retelling this classic!! Very entertaining!!

For those who already bought the initial 2D release, unless you have a 3D entertainment system to take advantage of the 3D, I don't know that the additional bonus features would be enough to justify double-dipping on this film. Now, that said, if you do have a 3D entertainment system, this release features some GREAT 3D - some of the best Disney has done in the past several years, or if you didn't buy the 2D release when it first came out, I would highly recommend this release just for the additional bonus content not offered in the 2D-only package. In terms of the film itself, I would say that this version of the Jungle Book goes quite a bit darker than that of the 1960's counterpart that Disney created decades ago, so I would caution parents of very young children to wait until your kids are a bit older before showing them this movie, as certain scenes could be a bit frightening. That said, it is quite a wonderful film, the plot flows nicely, and the cast performs very well.
