The Jungle Book (2016)

Disney is remaking a bunch of their animated features into live action films, a sentimental cash grab on the surface to get [now] parents to take their kids to see the movies they loved.  I must admit, I've never seen any adaption of the Jungle Book in it's entirety, so this was all pretty "new" to me.  As a standalone movie, it's really good!  If you can get over the fact that the animals talk, and are able to have  a suspension of disbelief there's a lot to like here.  I got a vibe of Life of Pi from this movie, but that could be simply because of the heavy use of a CG tiger, they don't share anything thematically. Recommend.
