Review of The Jungle Book (1994) by Steve Davis for Austin Chronicle — 12 Apr 2016
The studio’s 1967 version of Kipling’s classic tales (the current film qualifies as a remake of sorts) softened the source’s edges a bit, but it offered a New Orleans jazz-infused score unlike anything in the company’s previous animated features.
The new Jungle Book retains the two best songs, although their inclusion may strike the unfamiliar as clunky and unexpected.
