Disney probably tasted the sweetness from the commercial success of "Alice in Wonderland", "Maleficent", "Cinderella" and other films, and found that it could also open up live-action animated films as a new source of revenue, so it never tires of setting foot on real people. The Road to Animated Films.

And "Fantasy Forest" has undoubtedly achieved a huge success at the global box office of nearly 1 billion US dollars. The film tells the story of a human boy named Mowgli who was adopted by wolves when he was a child. The story of Khan's tiger chase.

Although the story is a bit old-fashioned, I have to say that the director still told the story of this jungle adventure with relish, especially the blessing of powerful and realistic CG special effects, which made the film's viewing and entertainment to a higher level.

In Mowgli's adventure journey, there is the earnest life mentor Black Panther, who encounters a python hiding a knife in a smile, a cunning and funny black bear, and a gorilla king who tries to climb to the top of the food chain. The story is methodical, the pictures are fresh and refined, and the characters are distinct , the special effects are realistic and smooth, plus some reflections on racial contradictions and human considerations, Disney is getting more and more handy in making live-action animated films.

Of course, if you haven't seen enough, don't worry, because there are also a large wave of "zombies" such as "Alice in Wonderland 2", "Beauty and the Beast", "Dumbo" and so on.

The Jungle Book quotes

  • King Louie: [singing] Now you might think it's ridiculous / That me, a gigantopithecus / Would ever dream, I'd like to team / With the likes of you, man-cub / But together, we'd have powers / All the jungle's treasures, ours / I got desire, you got the fire / But the dream I dream takes two / So, ooh, I wanna be like you / I wanna use that flame, just the same / You can do / Oh, how magnificus it would be / A gigantipithicus like me / Could learn to do like you humans do.
