Like the great Disney movies of old, The Jungle Book knows how to scare, delight and thrill children, of all ages. Not taking your kids to see this would be an act of parental neglect, but I advise all adults to see it themselves, children in tow or not. Trust in me. Read more

Spannend, grappig, hartverwarmend en soms ook wel een beetje griezelig.

Sfeervol, visueel adembenemend, humoristisch en gegrondvest op een gevestigde visuele cast. Read more

De sterrencast, hedendaagse computereffecten, geslaagde humor en leuke muzikale intermezzo’s maken een goede film.
