Once again, new Disney reel out a sequel to a timeless classic that is not only flimsy, inconsistent rubbish, but comes dangerously close to trashing the first one beyond redemption as well.
It is understandable that the actors who voiced the original, rich characters from Kipling's timeless tale could not be recalled, seeing as the film is a good many decades old, but the change in Baloo's voice spoilt the character, making him change from a easy going, fun loving bear to one who seems to have questionable substances flowing through his dopey veins. Also, Shere Khan is not Shere Khan without Geoge Sanders purring away behind him.
As with all Disney sequels, this film contains a severely annoying character who is loud, states the obvious, has a voice that grates through your bones, and stubbornly refuses to leave the screen. It was there as the batty old housekeeper in Pocohontas 2, the parrot in 102 dalmatians, and this time, takes the from of a brattish, babbling child, who you immediately and fervently wish to stay firmly in their cot rather than tailing the main characters around with their irritating quips and songs.
Overall, a highly appalling piece of animation. Disney, LEAVE THE CLASSICS ALONE!
