Disney's return to the story of The Jungle Book might feel bigger and look better than anything that's come before, but at its core is a very human tale that resonates just as strongly no matter how spectacular its visual wrappings.
Director Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Chef) takes on Rudyard Kipling's classic story by sticking close to the essentials and adding in a sense of scope and wonder. Watching the film in 3D, it was easy to be immersed in its world.
