We Want The D

Disney's 2016 adaptation of their own beloved classic THE JUNGLE BOOK currently holds a robust 95% critic rating on RottenTomatoes. It's host score on We Want The D is...somewhat less than that. Opinions are divided on multiple fronts; is this an achievement in animation or a movie that only looks good on the big screen?

Did they absolutely nail the voice acting, or are there more than a few unfulfilled expectations? Vicky, Nolan and Jill each reach their own conclusions, but the one thing they can all agree is that this installment doesn't come near the original 1967 adaptation and has all of us more than a little skittish about Disney's remake-heavy future. Only time can tell what those movies will look like, though, so until then we'll take solace in the beloved media of our youth, like classic Disney and Law & Order episode
