Rudlyand Kipling's The Jungle Book is a 1994 adventure remake based off the 1966 cartoon of the same name and it features an all star cast from Jason Scott Lee,Lena Hadley, Sam Neill,John Cleese,Jason Flemying and Cary Elwes. A young man named Mowgli(Lee) was reared in a Jungle with wildlife animals. Things take a turn when Mowgli meets an old childhood friend named Kitty(Hadley) who is betrothed to a sleazy explorer named Boone(Elwes) who is up to no good. Will Mowgli save the Jungle and find a way to be with Kitty (who he has a crush on).
Overall this was a real surprise as it reminded me of the 1999 film Tarzan with Kitty resembling Jane Porter,Mowgli as Tarzan where we see him as a boy becoming a man and the villain resembling Clayton. Don't go expecting talking animals as there is none here as this version focuses on the romance between Mowgli and Kitty as well as him exploring the real world outside the Jungle.
Today was the first time I've seen this film as I had no idea that Disney remade the Jungle Book twice before.
