The Jungle Book 2
Overview
Mowgli has been living in the man-village with his little stepbrother Ranjan and his best friend Shanti. But the man-cub still has that jungle rhythm in his heart, and he misses his old buddies Baloo and Bagheera. When Mowgli wanders back to the wild for some swingin' fun, he soon finds the man-eating tiger Shere Khan is lurking in the shadows and planning his revenge.

More development and nuance in Karl Geurs' script would have made a big difference.

Wait for it to come out on video, it'll baby sit a four-year-old. Anybody else is gonna be bored by it.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Rotten
That scratching sound you hear isn't Baloo the bear rubbing against a tree, it's Disney scraping the bottom of the sequel barrel with a follow-up that has none of the charm or creativity of the original.
Scott Craven, Arizona Republic
Rotten
Relatively innocuous but utterly unnecessary -- except from the standpoint of unbridled capitalism.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
