a Computer-generated imagery has come such a long way that it’s often misused to the point that objects lack grounding, since they obey no physical laws. b So Mowgli, previously a bust at climbing trees, out-Tarzans Tarzan, or more accurately out-Spiders Spider-Man, by vaulting, swinging and dashing through the vegetation on his way to maturity and a showdown with Shere Khan (parents of small children should know that he is one truly scary cat, and that several of those chases can be frighteningly intense). The setting is exotic instead of extra-terrestrial, but this film is just as gripping and convincing as the science fiction blockbuster. c Yet nothing could be further from that unhappy truth than The Jungle Book, which, obeying its own brilliant sense of design, puts its creatures into a landscape of a hyper-reality that hasn’t been seen since Avatar.
