"Fantasy Forest" Disney made for children, just be happy

I watched Disney's new "Fantasy Forest" a few days ago. After watching it, I realized that I had watched cartoons when I was a child, and I still have memories of the hypnotizing snake and the gorilla king. If I were a kid, I would definitely give a 9 out of 10. Wild animals are so lifelike, it's hard to tell which ones are real animals and which ones are CG effects. The thick hair, the expression of the face, and even the shape of the mouth when speaking did not make me feel unnatural. There are also waterfalls, jungles, swamps, and grasslands. The light and shadow rendering of these natural scenery is really realistic! Tiger Khan, King Louie, Black Panther Bagheera, Brown Bear Baloo, different animals have different but distinct personalities, sometimes interspersed with light and humorous dialogues, and harmonious music, all attracted me.

Looking at this story at my current age, I feel that there are still some things that I can think about. That tiger, Khan, I didn't think he was bad. In addition to his own ferocious and cruel character, I have a little sympathy. After all, he has been injured by others. He knows the threat of torches in the hands of humans, and it is not just torches. In fact, he was terrified. Half of his pursuit of Mowgli came from revenge, and the other half came from the drive of fear. Why do we only think tigers are bad after watching the full movie? Because the wolves and cheetahs who raised Mowgli were so kind, the tiger's scarred face was highlighted under the care. So, don't wolves and cheetahs eat meat from other animals? Are they herbivores? Certainly not. But this is not going to go further, how can we take fairy tales as the real animal world. So I will sympathize with the tiger. He regards Mowgli as a group and all the animals in the forest as a group. He can obey the law during the truce not to hunt, but he chases and kills Mowgli as a human child from beginning to end. Under the hood, the forest king, who understands the human threat, hunts down human children in order to protect the forest and the tribe. Or, it's all due to his bloodthirsty nature, which is what the movie tells us.

The Gorilla King is a very interesting character. He has the advantage of geography, like a king hidden behind the scenes, receiving all the information in the forest. He is the boss of the monkeys, not short of food, not short of treasure, not short of men, and has a little wisdom. He lacks everything, yet he has a strong desire to control. He desperately desires fire in the hands of humans, desires to have the power to control it, and he says he wants to be at the top of the food chain. He lured Mowgli, and sometimes he couldn't suppress his violent nature to make threats. In fact, this character makes me feel very vivid, but also makes me feel unreal.

Baloo the brown bear is funny, he rescued Mowgli from the python's mouth just because he wanted Mowgli to get him some honey. He lied that bees won't sting you, he said he made honey for winter. I almost believed it! At a glance, you can tell that it is not a serious bear, at least, not bad-hearted.

Said something useless. In short, Disney made it for children, just be happy.

The Jungle Book quotes

  • Kaa: Mostly, men stay in their village, far from the dark of the jungle, but sometimes they travel, and when they do, their caves breathe in the dark. They call it the Red Flower. Man's creation. It brings warmth and light and destruction to all that it touches.

  • [first lines]

    Bagheera: Many strange tales are told of this jungle, but none so strange as the tale of the cub we call Mowgli.
