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. 

But brown bears are not present in Indian jungles. He also learnt the law of jungle from bageerah, the black panther. But this is the more modernised version as i said. Books are lot more imaginary involving a lot of fiction in them. But this movie IMO was close to reality. The behaviour of animals, the logic in their actions, words etc are very clearly shown in a right way. In short they used the jungle book original story to create new and reality close story with similar characters, a remodelled version of jungle book if you ask me. It is a difference between the then times of rudyard kipling who must have added fictional stories from local people and this era's view of people for animals. Reply
