The Jungle Book 2 : 4 of 5

I wasn't really planning on buying this DVD, but when I saw it during a recent trip to the Disney Store, I though it would be fun to see again, since I was so sleepy when I saw it in the theater. This isn't the first time this has happened, but I liked the movie much more after seeing it again on DVD! Even though I still get a little tired of the original song reprises, I think they did a fine job of coming up with a good story and really staying true to the original animation and voice work (except for Baloo's palette, which they claim was changed because of all of his interaction with other animals - I think it was just to make a better looking plush toy!). The new songs are growing on me, too, though Jungle Rhythm is by far the best - I love the action in that number! The DVD has some nice bonus materials, too, including a decent documentary and a pretty cool game. Maybe these quickie Disney sequels are growing on me - scary!
