#THE JUNGLE BOOK FONT PACK DOWNLOAD MOVIE#
It's the sort of movie you might inadvertently dream about after re-reading one of Rudyard Kipling's source books or re-watching the 1967 animated Disney film, both of which contributed strands of this one's creative DNA. Combining spectacular widescreen images of rain forests, watering holes and crumbling temples, a couple of human actors, and realistic mammals, birds and reptiles that nevertheless talk, joke and even sing in celebrity voices, the movie creates its own dream-space that seems at once illustrated and tactile. But screenwriter Justin Marks, director Jon Favreau and their hundreds of collaborators render such distinctions moot.
It's not accurate to call this "Jungle Book" a "live-action" version, since so much of it has been generated on a computer. Maybe younger.įrom the opening sequence of young Mowgli ( Neel Sethi) racing through the jungle in the company of his adoptive wolf family and his feline guardian, the black panther Bagheera ( Ben Kingsley), through its comic setpieces with the layabout Baloo the Bear ( Bill Murray) and its sinister interludes with the python Kaa ( Scarlett Johansson), the despot orangutan King Louie ( Christopher Walken), and the scarred Bengal tiger Shere Khan ( Idris Elba), the movie bears you along on a current of enchantment, climaxing in a thunderous extended action sequence that dazzles while tying off every lingering plot point, and gathering up all the bits of folklore, iconography, and Jungian dream symbols that have been strewn throughout the story like Hansel and Gretel's breadcrumbs. I saw the newest Disney version of "The Jungle Book" in the company of my enthralled 12-year-old son, and there were moments when I envied him-but not too many, because the film is so surefooted in its effects, so precise and simple in its characterizations, and so clear about what it's trying to say about the relationship between humanity and nature, that it made me feel about his age again, too.
