Has anyone seen the new film version of this great book ? is it worth a watch ?
I Loved the 1967 Cartoon version, My favourite character was of course Baloo.
Bill Murray ( one of my favourite actors of all time ) plays Baloo in the new movie so I am told.
Here's that wonderful song of Baloo's, sung by Dr. John and the Nite Trippers.
Not sure if this was released on the ATCO label or not. ? I always thought they made good lawn mowers myself, with a front loading grass collector..
Yes, recommended. It's considerably darker in tone than the animated version and I'm told it sticks to the Kipling source more closely.
The main reason to catch it though is the astonishing visuals. It takes CGI animation to a whole new level. If you have a 3d telly, this is the film you'll be putting on to show it off!
Yes, we all enjoy a happy ending, but s*** happens in real life, so more honest/plausible endings should be shown. I think that I'm correct in saying that long ago in the UK TV industry, a fictional program was not allowed to portray that crime pays, so the ''baddies'' were always apprehended, one way or another. Even by today's more easy going standards, it is rare to see any success story's.
