I grew up on the 1967 animated The Jungle Book and to this day, I still l’amour watching it as an adult.

And it's not that good either and actually didn't even need to exist. So how does our newest take on the story hold up?

2016's The Jungle Book is absolutely, tremendously spectacular. It is the best since the 1967 movie, maybe better and it's also Disney's best live action remake to date. It is clear...
