Synopsis

From Disney's wildly popular THE JUNGLE BOOK comes a thrilling, animated feature film. The jungle is jumping again as Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, and the rest of your favorite characters return in the fun-filled musical adventure THE JUNGLE BOOK 2. Mowgli (Haley Joel Osment) has been living in the village among the humans. His new life includes his little stepbrother, Ranjan, and his best friend, Shanti, but the man-cub still has that jungle rhythm in his heart, and he misses his old buddy Baloo (John Goodman). When Mowgli wanders back into the wild for some swingin' fun, he soon finds Baloo isn't the only one waiting for him --- the man-eating tiger Shere Khan is lurking in the shadows and planning his revenge. If he is to defeat his nemesis, Mowgli will need the help of both his old friends and his new family. With fresh renditions of "Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You," and a host of original toe-tappin' tunes paired with classic Disney animation, THE JUNGLE BOOK 2 is sure to delight the entire family.

Laura Sinagra

John Goodman's Baloo admits, 'King Louie? He split!' Before the third defibrillation of 'Bare Necessities,' you and your kids might too.

Todd McCarthy

More development and nuance in Karl Geurs' script would have made a big difference.

Richard Roeper

Wait for it to come out on video, it'll baby sit a four-year-old. Anybody else is gonna be bored by it.

Scott Craven

That scratching sound you hear isn't Baloo the bear rubbing against a tree, it's Disney scraping the bottom of the sequel barrel with a follow-up that has none of the charm or creativity of the original.

Michael O'Sullivan

Relatively innocuous but utterly unnecessary -- except from the standpoint of unbridled capitalism.

Jane Horwitz

Likely to provide 72 minutes of enjoyment and a few scary thrills to tykes, as well as a pleasant diversion for parents.

The animation is lovely, but the simplistic story feels as if it were arrived at by committee after an hour-long meeting.
