The catchiness of the original songs can't be matched with the jazzier and updated soundtrack, even as this follow-up recycles melodies from 1967.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 30, 2020

Not a good movie, and probably better left unwatched. Which, for a DisneyToon sequel, is actually a pretty good place to land.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Feb 5, 2018

Disney's sequel to the story of Mowgli and his jungle companions leaves out the name of Rudyard Kipling on the credits. No loss. It could well have left out the name of Disney.

The characters giggle too much (as hyper-cute Saturday morning animated offerings will do), the music isn't as well integrated into the story, and the humans come across like an Indian version of The Cosby Show.

[Blu-ray Review] A minor work from the Mouse House, but Disney enthusiasts will still want to pick up this high-definition package for the stupendous picture and lossless audio upgrade. They know who they are, and for them this Blu-ray comes recommended.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 17, 2014

...it is, in the final analysis, difficult to recall a more underwhelming series within the Mouse House's ongoing body of work.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 13, 2011

Ok for kids, but not the most inspired sequel.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2010

it's hard to top the original

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 24, 2008

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 21, 2004

As charmless and ugly as last year's Return to Never Land.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 30, 2003

...nobody thought to provide the new movie with anything fresh in the way of a plot or music.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 20, 2003

There's no reason for this story to be told -- besides, of course, parting gullible punters from a few quid.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 7, 2003

Consumer alert: The B-teamers have struck again.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 25, 2003

Is there any other reason Disney would throw in three reprises here of the original's hit song, 'Bare Necessities' if it were not to disguise this film's 'Unnecessary Indulgence'?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 10, 2003

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 9, 2003

The Jungle Book 2 will definitely keep young audience members entertained for more than an hour, and parents will get a nice break, too.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 4, 2003

Disney's The Jungle Book 2 is a flea market of cheap ploys and meaningless ideas designed to rob parents of hard-earned money...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 28, 2003

Rudyard Kipling, on whose book all this is based, managed to have his name taken off the credits from beyond the grave, proving that in death he has a savvier agent than those responsible for this script.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 19, 2003

John Goodman's Baloo admits, 'King Louie? He split!' Before the third defibrillation of 'Bare Necessities,' you and your kids might too.
