A declaration from Hollywood to the world: On special effects of movies, I am not targeting anyone! The high-speed sports lens is not at all timid, it would be perfect if Mowgli was also replaced with CGI. I haven't read the original work, but the story is fuller, more adult and more speculative than the 67 version of the animation. The original concept of "human beings are animals that can use tools" is explained throughout; two paragraphs by Murray and Walken solo is the icing on the cake.

"Fantasy Forest" is the most successful adaptation of "The Book of the Jungle". The perfect combination of respect for the original work and CG special effects makes the film truly present Kipling’s literary master’s past unparalleled brushstrokes in the world of light and shadow. The extremely realistic jungle and anthropomorphic animals have contributed to an amazing animal world.
