I wish they’d been more prominent and better fed with human flesh. If they speak at all, they speak Jungle-talk, never English. With the obvious exception of the snake (presumably Kaa, here as a treasure guardian), the animals are real and beautiful. It is the second film adaptation by The Walt Disney Company of the Mowgli stories from The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Feldman and Raju Patel, from a story by Ronald Yanover and Mark Geldman. It is not a very good script in the first place and I can’t say I’m overtly impressed with the somewhat feverish direction of Stephen Sommers, but the cast is fine, the production design lavish, and the outdoor locations simply stunning. Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is a 1994 live-action American adventure film co-written and directed by Stephen Sommers, produced by Edward S. The clash between savagery and civilisation is not entirely missing, if not easy to find either.

Despite a good deal of facile humour, however, this movie at least tries to preserve something of the dark and sinister tone of the original. Here we have a full-fledged romance between Mowgli and an English lady (Heady), nasty competition from the army (Elwes), a goofy doctor (Cleese), a troubled father (Neill), a treasure hunt, kidnapping, conspiracy and anything else you might want from an adventure movie – nothing of which, of course, has anything to do with Kipling. The script has in fact as much to do with Kipling’s collection of short stories as the 1967 cartoon classic, which is to say nothing at all. “Based on characters from “The Jungle Book”” a little later is slightly more accurate, but still far from the truth. Screenplay by Ronald Yanover, Stephen Sommers and Mark Geldman, vaguely based on The Jungle Books (1894-5) by Rudyard Kiplingĭon’t you believe that “Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book” in the title.
