La historia narra las aventuras de Mowgli (Neel Seth), un niño que es criado en la selva por una manada de lobos al frente de la cual encontramos a su madre adoptiva, la loba Raksha, a la que Nyong'o presta su voz. Idris Elba se encuentra detrás de la voz del temido Shere Khan, un malvado tigre que planea eliminar a Mowgli debido a la amenaza que este le inspira. Por suerte para el pequeño a pantera Bagheera (Ben Kingsley) y el oso Baloo (Bill Murray) le acompañaran en su viaje de supervivencia y auto-descubrimiento por la jungla, en el que conocerá a personajes como Kaa (Scarlett Johansson), una pitón que le intentará hipnotizar para comérselo, y el rey Louie (Christopher Walken), un orangután que quiere que el niño le enseñe el secreto para hacer fuego.

Un filme familiar puro, magnífico y aventurero que rinde homenaje a su género y tiene grandes posibilidades de convertirse en un clásico infantil, que en unos años puede tener un estatus similar al de The NeverEnding Story en la actualidad. Impresionante procesamiento visual y de efectos, una historia emocionante, conmovedora y emotiva y una serie de pasajes deliciosos y dinámicamente dirigidos.

Una famosa presentación de las posibilidades técnicas de Hollywood con CGI tan genial que el Mowgli vivo es el animal menos interesante de la película. Y que no son pocos los animales en esta película.

Jon Favreau never really appealed to me as a director. Iron Man is a retrospectively weaker Marvel movie that stands and falls mostly on Robert Downey Jr. (and don’t get me started on the second one), Cowboys & Aliens is awful and Zathura is pretty good. Nothing more. So when he took a swipe at The Jungle Book, which everyone knows, I didn't particularly care for it. Which makes the result all the more enjoyable. It's not that it's a perfect film, at times it's quite choppy in terms of story (the part with monkeys could have been shorter), but as a film with ambitions to entertain young and old viewers alike, this journey among digital animals simply works. Favreau handles the action scenes, the suspenseful moments and the humour, and he also keeps an eye on the visuals. The Jungle Book is gorgeous, and the wilderness can even bear comparison to Avatar's Pandora. There's plenty to look at and I imagine the little ones will stare at the screen with utter delight, whether it's Baloo cackling, Sher Khan terrifying or Scarlett Johansson hissing. This is not a cinematic revolution or a film that will go down in history, but it’s a very proper genre film where almost everything works as it should. Well done. And I wouldn't mind seeing it a second time.

You watch this technological marvel and the thought flies through your mind that "The future is now" and the reassurance of the significance of the giant leap forward filmmakers have made in the development of CGI animation and effects of the last two decades, something that filmmakers in the "pre-Jurassic" period could only dream of. This is undoubtedly the pinnacle of contemporary Hollywood's technical capabilities, and I can smell some technical Oscars. And please, I write this as a viewer who’s not at all fond of the digital coloring books that abound in movies today and prefers practical effects. But here there are no digital orgies that would look out of place, everything looks very believable and alive. When I realize that all the natural surroundings were created in a computer, it just blows my mind. The experience is enhanced by the wonderful book, and if its story teaches at least a few child viewers to love animals, this film is worthwhile.

I do admit that at first I didn’t really feel like watching this flick. It was somehow getting under my skin that animals in a real, non-animated world could speak and that they spoke English. But after about ten minutes and several nice shots, I decided to bear with the film to see what would come out of it. I mean the book itself, written by Rudyard Kipling, had a very clever plot. And well, what eventually came out of it was one of the most beautiful digital films that I have ever seen. I don’t think you will be able to see such beautiful shots of the jungle anywhere else. It might be because of the digital effects. But it is a treat to watch it and once you’ve watched it, you will realize that you will never see a better adaptation of Kipling’s book in your lifetime.
