The Jungle Book (2016)

When I first saw this advertised I didn't think too much of it because I couldn't really remember the original cartoon on that was done by Disney, and in my eyes back then it wouldn't have been worth the watch. However since watching the film, I'd like to disagree on what I'd stated in the past. This is a good film which is backed up by some stunning visuals.

Take the first scene. We are introduced to our environment with a wide shot of the jungle as it slowly pans to the floor then tracking the main character Mowgli. From the fast tracking shot we instantly gather that Mowgli is in trouble. At this point I want to note how well the CGI animals look, I'm not massive fan of  lots of CGI but I have to say it's progressed a lot in reason years and I think this film highlights what a it could look like in future years. However, right now it still needs a bit more work, from the starting shot, Mowgli's run just feels out of places, like he's running in a computer system while the animals look like they are running in the rain-forest. 

This film as some amazing moments, from collecting honey on the mountain edge, the destruction of the monkey temple to the burning of the forest. I think these are some amazing shots which are memorable hopefully allowing me to remember the film unlike the cartoon one from 1967.
