We have come of age in rendition of CGI (computer generated imagery) and it becomes apparent when you watch the Disney’s latest movie ‘The Jungle Book’ by director Jon Favreau and starring Neel Sethi, Bill Murray and Ben Kingsley as the leading voiceovers.
Released globally this year 2016.

The Jungle Book - 2016

I wouldn’t say it is completely animation, but the rendition of cgi characters are almost unreal to watch. It is one movie where the director has simply gone through every detail to prevent us from second guessing whether the image is animated or real. This to me is the most striking technical achievement of this movie and deserves to be in the ranks of Matrix, Avatar and other technical greats.

The movie is simply delightful to watch and you will not feel one second of boredom creep in as you journey through the fantastic world of the jungle with Mowgli. The characters are so wonderfully portrayed and blends beautifully with the whole story that you become part of the journey. The movements of the animals especially when Shere Khan plants himself on top of the meeting point for the wolves is just uncannily real. You can tell that animal movements as we see in real-life were exactly mimicked from every one of the senses known to man - sound, sight, movement, smell.. you name it, they thought of it.

I would recommend this movie to anyone of any age group. You will be immersed in another world for 2 hours and is a great watch for couples.
