Ariel: "Daddy, no!"

Triton: "Shooby doo, dooby da, dooby doo..."

Why was this movie so bad?!?!The first movie was mediocre at best.Sure the animation and songs were good and characters like Shere Khan and Baloo were fun but other than that the movie had no story and other characters were just annoying,but this trash is somehow way worse that the original to the point were i need to apologise to the original movie,but what are the good stuff in the movie?
Good things:
1.The animation is fine,not perfect but still nice i guess.Especilly the scenes with Shere Khan.
2.Shere Khan is the ONLY good character in the movie.He actually got character development but more in a evil way.Becoming way more of a brute and blood thirsty sure he is not as funny but still he is Awesome.
Bad things:
1.The story is just wasted potential,instead of i dont know having a interesting story of Mowgli having to adapt to the man village and new creatures around him.We just have a movie where Mowgli goes to the jungle but then for some reason he wants to go back to the village,while Shere Khan is chasing him….WHAT?!?!Why are we doing the same story from the first movie,all the events are just the first movie,why are we going in circels,what is the point of this movie.We dont even have Mowgli being akward or working for the village,he just goes to the same adventure that he already did!!!
2.Characters:Mowgli is just bad here,sure he was a piece of shit in the first movie but you probably think that he would grow and learn but no,he is just a selfish brat who complains about the man village having “to many rules or its just work” when we are never shown in this movie that he works anything,and my reaction is “Mf what work are you talking about”he also gets mad at Shanti for stoping from going to jungle,which is something that he already knows.Then he feels bad for escaping the jungle and he is just so selfish.Also i like how he blaims Baloo for scaring the girl,when he is the one who told him that.Also he just dosent grow or change.Although i did laugh when he finally got consequences.
Shanti:Has no character and no real goals.Sure at first her phobia sound interesting but the movie never develops that.The movie tries to have this couple between Mowgli and Shanti but the movie just hints at that idea,honestly i hope that Shanti never EVER dates with that hypocrite,who just blames her and bullies her.So yeah i guess that she is a girl character and girls cant have personality do they 😡(i am being sarcastic)
Ranjan:He is just annoying and doesn’t do anything so he is kind of there i guess
Bagheera:He isnt a character he is barely in the movie.I do want to mention how when Mowgli says goodbye to him its just a normal goodbye but when he says goodbye to Baloo,he is crying his eyes out.What a complete “screw you” attitude,sure Bagheera was stupid in the original(leaving Mowgli alone multiple times)but still you knew him for years and Baloo for just a few days.
Vultures:Them knowing that Mowgli is going back to the village is a plot contrivance,sure they could know that Mowgli isnt in the man village but how do they know on what specific location he is?Isnt the whole point of stealing Mowgli is to hide him?We dont even have a scene of them seeing him.Its just a stupid way to help Shere Khan get to Mowgli,also Lucky not dying is just lame.
Baloo:He is just awful here,first of all the fact that Mowgli has to remind him to road is ridiculous,also his character is assassinated.Him learning to leave Mowgli behind in the village in the first movie was forced and badly rushed but at least he LEARNED!In this movie he just goes back to being selfish and learns the same message.Why?!?!?And there are weird stuff with him.Saying to Bagheera”We beat that tiger once we can do it again”Yeah,yeah its not like Shere Khan almost mauled you to death and that you needed help from vultures and the fact that you needed that tiger’s biggest fear just to chase him off.Also him just telling to other animals about the man village is just rude,when did Mowgli ever tell YOU to talk about that subject it makes him selfish.But other than that he is just the same character but worse.
Kaa:He is just a punching bag and nothing else,also why did he lie about Mowgli and where he is?Why not tell him the truth.He wanted to eat him in the first movie so thats why he lied but here he cant eat anything(because he does not have anything)
Elephants:The leader is a dumb in this one and so are the other elephants.Small elephant is a plot device to show Baloo where to go
3.Stupid stuff in the movie
I:The whole vulture’s somehow knowing where Mowgli is even if they didnt see him on screen
II:How did the monkeys build the temple?Sure its implied that they had help,but they are animals it would take them years for them to do this and Mowgli looks slightly older(keyword “slightly”)So what is stoping animals for making buildings and inventions and weapons they are basically OP humans,why are they aftaid
III:Where is King Louie?Did he die,was he banished?Its never explained
IV:Why were the village front doors open?The movie centres around the idea that the village is a dangerous place but they dont close doors.If they dont close them,why do they keep OPEN HOUSE DOORS?!?!?No wonder that Mowgli’s stepdad has a injury,they basically want their village destroyed by other animals.What was the point of bringing Mowgli into the man village if animals can easily go in the small civilisation?
V:Why are there no guards at the village?Like this is india there should be someone looking out for these beasts if they keep the door open.
VI:The ending is horrible.Instead of Baloo learning his lesson he just comes up with a new plan where Mowgli,Shanta and Ranjan just hang out with them by pretending to carry the water to the village?Why!?!?This is a horrible plan,what if someone sees them or what if their families find out that they aren’t bringing the water?Then they would be screwed also Bagheera is assassinated here as a character.
Wow this one was bad like really bad.Maybe not boring but definitely broken.I am really sorry for writing so long,i really am but i just wanted to present this review because its fun.So have a good day or night show this to your friends and family(optional) and ask them on how they feel and i wish you a birthday for those who have it 🎁.

I used to watch this movie all the time as a kid, and I never really thought about the implications of the big chase scene. Obviously the wicked queen died before the dwarfs caught up to her, but if that lightning bolt hadn’t finished her, she was trapped on a cliff with seven furious dwarfs after her. And assuming that she didn’t kill them with that boulder, what would have happened then? The seven dwarfs were only armed with small sticks. Would we have had to watch them beat an old hag to death with their fists and feet? Would they all have just surrounded her and murdered her right then and there? Even Dopey?

An animated movie with no connection with Maleficent at all.
