The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli and Baloo is the live-action follow-up to Disney's 1994 Jungle Book feature. Here we follow young wolf-raised Mowgli as he leads a gang of greedy grown-ups on a wild goose chase through the jungles of India, circa 1890. In the course of this breathless caper, eyes of all ages will be loath to wander from the screen as it shifts from one colour-drenched, wildlife-rife scene to the next. The animals, more than the wilderness, are what give this film its Eden-like quality--Mowgli protectors Bagheera the panther and Baloo the bear, as well as wolves, tigers, a pack of prowling monkeys and even exotic snakes of the deadly variety all mix and mingle to gorgeous effect. Bill Campbell is fully believable as an Indiana Jones-like circus scout, and Roddy McDowall is at his eccentric best as a cave-dwelling monkey commander. --Tammy La Gorce, Amazon.com
