“Now I’m the king of the swingers
Oh, the jungle VIP
I reached the top and had to stop
and that’s what’s been bothering me.
Oh obeedoo
I wanna be like you-ou-ou … “
When Louis Prima alias” King Louie “gets going, bobbing with everything from fast enough is the trees down. 1967 installed the Walt Disney Studios Prima as primates Chef in the animated film by Wolfgang Hermann riding. And the thing even swingte in German: “The Jungle Book” with its (translated) hits “I would so much like you-uu” and “The Bare Necessities” buzzed 27 million German with – so many viewers to this day no other film . in the country
“the Monkey song” included at that time also a key conversation between the reared by wolves jungle waif Mowgli and King Louie: Louie wants Mogli the secret of making fire, the experienced “red flower” – because that believes the orangutan, the humanity would bring him one step closer.
Mowgli friends, the Panther Baghira and the bear Balu who save him from the clutches of the cheeky monkeys, it however, wishes to avoid human settlement – because he was safe from the monkeys and especially the evil tiger Shere Khan, the no man tolerates in the jungle.
But Mowgli sees himself as a jungle animal, grew up in a family-WG different types of creatures -. And doubt until the very end to the intentions of friends
Disney has these motifs mostly in its new, highly detailed, generated from over 800 special effects artists on the computer version of the inspired Rudyard Kipling stories substance salvaged. In by Jon Favreau ( “Iron Man 1 + 2″) staged Jungle Book 2016 thus sings an orangutan to hit the human being and is on the “red flower”.
But symptomatic of the live-action CGI adaptation are the differences from the popular animated film: The monkey is great creepy four meters. In general, the scene gets extremely bleak. The battle between Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera and the monkey pack is brutal, grim, scary and takes much longer than was originally sung. And the lively atmosphere of the “Monkey Song” at all does not fit at this point, making the situation grotesque: Just as Mogli in great danger hovering, mingle cheerful Swing chords in the ominous Action Air.
For younger children (despite Rated 6 released) the new Jungle Book is nothing, even if the media literacy of younger viewers has increased since the sixties – and one it always has to be stated a social brutalization.
Forgot Fortunately elephants nothing
Here, Justin Marks’ screenplay to logic endeavored even to understand the motivations of the animals. Even Shir Khan, the tiger baby in the film as a restless, drawn from Battle Slayer after the boy ago, gets a retrospective including traumatic experience – he is not born as a gangster, but became by circumstances to do so.
And to make Marks’ idea, the elephant Guards who stumbles in the old film as a parody of a soldier squads of their own trunk to the mysterious men of the jungle, is beautiful. Proud and arrogant convert the huge animals through a kingdom that they – so it wants the myth – have created using their tusks themselves. Luckily, Mogli befriends a baby elephant and this fact the animals (which anyway do not forget anything) at the right time incident.
The attempt to tell the story as modern, action-packed and interleaved as necessary, and the still existing humanistic tenor (of there is “patchwork works!”) Could the movie so – despite the googly eyes at Ele -Baby and the cute wolfish stepbrother Mowgli – can dock rather in adults.
In any case, if they are not too values conservative, have nothing against the drastic renewal of the animated heroes of their childhood and not be bothered by the fact that the two hits such as foreign body stuck in the dark, fast-paced, dangerous story. And the original version with the voices of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba and Christopher Walken (as King Louie!) Watch.The German version sounds namely bit tired – especially the narrator’s voice Joachim Krols suggests desperate importance to their decreasing rarely. All children on the other hand, if they synchronize Neel Sethi or Wölflein, do it well. They are livelier than their perfect CGI avatars.
That Disney is particularly proud to have the so-called “shadow problem” solved, by the way is another curiosity that the distance between the jungles of 1967 and 2016 demonstrates: Because next to the only living actor Neel Sethi (Mowgli) never played real living beings, had the visual effects supervisor develop a system to drop shadows alleged co-stars on the actor. contrast, shadows were the last thing the Jungle Book executives wanted to see 1967 in their colorful family show. They told the story actually completely shadow-free
