The hardwork of the team is reflected in the movie. They made amazing visual effects with more realistic thinking while interactions among characters. It is quite amazing movie. It gives you the real feel of the indian jungle, deep involvement into it. But as brother bear said the bear was just too big unlike in the original story. Rest all seem to be very well characterized.

The 2016 movie was a little closer to the actual book than the Disney animated version. Though not truly realistic, the books by Rudyard Kipling were more so than the movies. The 1942 movie featuring Sabu as Mowgli was actually the closest thus-far to the books. As stated in post #71, all of the animals are somewhat over-sized. The second sentence in The Second Jungle Book, published a year after the original says, "You will remember that Mowgli spent a great part of his life in the Seeonee Wolf-Pack, learning the Law from Baloo, the Brown Bear." The actual size of Baloo is never mentioned.  Reply
