Oh my god. During the movie I thought the child actor was "good", but after seeing this and realising that he was pretty much the only actor on stage and probably never even saw Kingsley, Murray or any other...he did ground breaking job!!!
It's amazing to me that the kid who stars in this was able to say his dialogue so well despite having almost no human actors to talk to. How did he even keep a straight face when saying his lines to a fake animal or people wearing those weird suits? Or running around on what looks like fake mini golf grass while trying to pretend he's in an actual jungle?
Plus, that's what kids do when they play. :) Funnily enough, it's probably _less_ hard for him than for an average adult - which is not to say that he didn't do a superb job!
I have to admit, this move is both awesome and adorable. At first I was a bit skeptic thinking the Jungle Book movie will fail....thank goodness I was wrong. I loved it :)
Every single voice actor (except Akela maybe) was white. And keep in mind these characters have Indian names like Baloo, Bagheera, Akela and Raksha. I cringed so hard at the way they pronounced the word 'Bandar-log' It took me about five minutes to realize what Hindi word they were saying.
+Ashcool Face is one thing you should have no problem with but majority people don't wanna hear a whole movie in a different accent. It's like period movies are made using English, it isn't disrespecting to the original language, they are just making it that way so more people can understand it.
I am not saying it shouldn't be like that. It's just that they did one major thing right and it's worth appreciating. We might see more improvements in future.
Suyash Awasthi It is worth appreciating yes... But we can't say that whitewashing didn't take place. Maybe there wasn't a total whitewashing but it was there all the same.
+Ashcool I assume the native English speakers will have significant trouble understanding Indian accents. That would be a bad move and would affect the profitability of the movie.
Another fun fact: The creator of Boy Scouts Baden Powell knew rudyard (was good friends with them), and even based some parts of Cub Scouts off of the jungle book (i.e., the leaders being called "Akelas", tiger, wolf, and bear scouts, and more I've probably missed)
the white man's burden was not all that bad, it showed both sides of the situation, and mentions that there were lots of problem with British control. He was also actually Indian (not Native American) and so why would he write something just to bash his own people
The thing I really loved about this film is that it was so much closer to the books. They even included the water truce! They even included quotes from the books!
+WWE TV-14 Sure. A formulaic, predictable blockbuster with a horribly-written villain and barely 2 action scenes is one of the best comic book movies. That film would fall apart without RDJ like a house of cards.
***** The villain was obvious from the second he appeared on screen, had a B-movie level evil monologue and in case you still didn't get that he was the bad guy, his mech suit had a ridiculous Darth Vader voice filter.
***** It would still be a really good movie without Ledger's performance, just not a fantastic one. And it's not a predictable movie. Things like Rachel's death, Joker's escape (ripped off a thousand times in later blockbusters) and the way he plays with Gotham and Batman. But most of all, it's the fact that the villain wins. Joker isn't just a weak obstacle that the hero needs to punch enough times to save the day, he affects the characters and proves that even the best people are corruptible. Of course, not every superhero movie needs to be surprising and subversive. But it should have interesting character dynamics and something more than the same old tired clichés. If you take away RDJ, Iron Man becomes a formulaic action flick that has more in common with 80's sci-fi B movies.
That was just him talking, w-what accent was he supposed to have? There was a freakin' British tiger and an Italian wolf in there. Accents don't make sense in this world. They purposely hired people that can't really sing for both songs. It was a cheesy and campy song that's not meant to be taken seriously (even in the original) and Walken just happens to be great at being a ham.
+supercyc10 His appearance not only didn't match his voice, but also animation cues weren't synchronized with proper voice cues and vice versa. This was a problem throughout the movie, where the voices regularly changed the intonation and this wasn't reflected in animation properly, but this was the most obvious with Louie. I actually wanted to pause the movie and check if it was a dubbed foreign movie instead of native English one, because voice sync was even worse than the dubbed French "Jack and the clockwork heart"
Ill be honest and get hated but I thought the movie was boring. Parts could be silly and entertaining but overall, boring IMO but the visuals were top notch stuff.
This movie was absolutely amazing. Yes, it doesn't even come close to comparing to the book. But if you judge it on it's own merit (instead of comparing it) it's fantastic!
@@HauntingBull oh I’ve read Kipling. Heck I know all of the verses of Mandalay, cause I’m a nerd. But the book is very much a product of its time, very imperial, very racist, very old fashioned
What they could and SHOULD have done was got Jim Cummings to voice Kaa (who took up the voice role of Winnie the Pooh in 1988 and Kaa in Jungle Book 2). I mean he's still alive and doing voice work. Would have been more awesome than Johansson too.
Gustavo Villegas It seemed extremely creepy when you hear Pooh's voice in a deadly snake that can hypnotize little boys. That's what made it so good. I also missed the vulture Beatles who didn't know what to do and the songs were better in the animated one too. However this remake certainly deserves to exist!
A few years ago I couldn't think of anything except mindless entertainment in movies. However soon I realised that film is an art form and while something should be entertaining the characters should be entertaining and storyline should preferably be solid
I actually enjoyed this movie - and didn't expect to, because i really can't STAND the animated version - but one thing that did get on my nerves (and one of the only things I liked about the original) was that they changed how the fire started at the end?? I might be wrong, but I really thought the point of the fire being started by lightning was that it existed, and as a danger, in nature as well - the fact that mowgli started it in this movie really didn't sit right with me :/
The point of fire in the animated film was that Mowgli was supposed to leave behind the jungle life and become a Man, and using fire (however he found it) was a symbol of that. In the live-action film, Mowgli is being forced to make the same choice he was forced to make in the animated film - to be a Man - but he decides at the end that he wants to be a Wolf. The point this time isn't that Mowgli needs to embrace his heritage and his nature; this time the point is that family is family, no matter what it looks like, and trying to force someone to ignore that can lead them to do things they shouldn't.
What bothered me a bit was SPOILERS How Mowgli ran all the way to get the fire as a weapon, all he way back to fight, and then threw away his weapon. I know its symbolic, but that was a very stupid move for someone with no other fighting method
Jordan Brown the point was, he *had* one. It was one everyone told him he couldn't use because being human, to them, was inherently bad. He threw away his "human-ness" with the fire only to be told that he'd been taught wrong his whole life and to use what they'd been trying to drag out of him - his humanity.
"From the studio that tried to copy the success of Disney's classic animated movies since the 1930's, comes yet another attempt to try and copy the success of a classic Disney animated movie in the past decade-except this one's got Andy Serkis!"
The warner brothers movie was in the works long before Disney's. It has taken longer because they are putting actual effort into theirs with directors worth their salt. It will also be a completely different story being that it is actually based on the book.
I have a feeling it'll be a clunker, possibly another case like "Pan". This project is ill-advised from the get-go, since now Disney's reboot seems to have become the definitive adaptation, and it'll be borderline impossible for WB to top it. While it'll follow the book more closely, there's clearly something amiss going on. Steve Kloves, Alejandro González Iñárritu, and Ron Howard all were in talks or pretty much lined up for it, but turned it down, before Andy Serkis agreed to do it. The film's release date was originally for 2016, then it was pushed back to 2017, and then again to October 2018. Not only that, but late in the game, it surfaced that Warner Bros brought Alfonso Cuaron onto the project. It screams of a desperation move from WB to save the movie.
Honestly, the definitive adaptations should be the Chuck Jones animated ones. There was "Mowgli's Brothers", "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" and "The White Seal". All stories from Kipling's book. All faithful and all fantastic.
The greatest thing for me was the voice of Shir Khan in the german dub. He has the same voice as Scar from The Lion King and that hit me double in the nostalgia!
It's not there yet. But, if it continues to stay in Japan for as long as it can, it'll hit a billion. It only needs $45M in Japan to hit a billion, now.
Yeah its by no means a bad movie, just.. super by the numbers.. but handled really well. its a tough one. You know its objectively good but you struggle to care is probably the best description i can give it
I disagree Zootopia was a better film about talking animals, this is really just a reboot so it wasn't original at all. Plus there were a lot of things that just didn't gel well with the rest of the film, and Zootopia was more well-made. Other than that great honest trailer.
you realize these things are matters of opinion you cant say someone is wrong about things they like if i thought trolls 2 was my favorite movie i would not be wrong
Look you can probably just kinda assume im not an asshole who thinks he's right, it should be pretty obvious that from what i said this is just my opinion. more than that, im just being honest.
***** First of all...no. They're both motion pictures. That's just another term for a movie. You're thinking of Animation and Live-Action. And it really doesn't matter what they are because they compared Jungle Book to other countless animated films about talking animals. So I can say that Zootopia is the stronger movie in that retrospect. Secondly, I wouldn't call the Jungle Book strictly drama anymore than I'd call Zootopia strictly comedy. While both films have those aspects, Zootopia did a wonderful job of telling a decently a dramatic story with an even more powerful message. Is it funny? You bet it is, but I don't define it as a comedy. If we were going that route, you'd probably more define Jungle Book as an action film. The Jungle Book did a better job of telling the story than its animated counterpart, but it was so a bit clunky and some parts I feel weren't needed or didn't fit. I also felt that the two musical numbers they included felt rather forced in. I enjoyed both movies but from an analysis of both, Zootopia did a better job of telling its overall story. So I disagree with them when they say this is the "best movie this year about talking animals."
Live-action remake of TaleSpin? Oh, now THAT would be something! I can already picture Bill Murray in a Mo-Cap suit pretending to be a bear flying a plane!
Wait a minute...Andy Serkis was a part of this too? I didn't watch the movie and I don't mind Andy Serkis as an actor, but I can't imagine motion capture being so specialized that you have to have him do it in every movie that needs it.
No not at all! Andy Serkis was planning on making one and announced it at the same time as this dude from Disney did... Andy is going to make one that is much better! True to the book and with Performance Capture!
if he makes it true to the book, the movie is going to suck because the book isn't a book - it's a collection of non-chronological short stories of Victorian fantasy, essentially. Those are incredibly difficult to adapt while staying true to the books. Look at Nanny McPhee and Mary Poppins.
I am glad someone likes poor bulbasaur. The poor think gets so much hate. Personally my favoirit if the Kanto starter trio is Squirtle. I especially like Warturtle.
Welcome to the Metaverse Yeah but they do like some movies. Like Mad Max: Fury Road or Inside Out. They've explicitly stated that they don't like this film.
Well, I mean, it would be extremely difficult to remake The Lion King into a live action movie, since there are literally no humans in it. It would really just be a different type of animation.
Enough with Lion King already. Frozen pretty much guaranteed that we'll see other reskinned Lion Kings for years to come anyway, we don't really need any more.
I don't get the idea that Frozen is The Lion King since Elsa is in no way responsible for her parents' deaths, she's an adult when they die, Simba has no siblings (other than Nala, shhh...), nobody has any super powers in TLK, the person trying to kill Elsa is not related to her in any way (otherwise it would have to be Rapunzel)...?
Why do people hate Cowboys and Aliens so much? For a concept that belongs on the sci-fi channel I got about what I was expecting. It was fun and blended the genres in an entertaining way.
Me, personally, I thought it was unspeakably dull. When you consider the talent and potential involved, that's probably worse than if it outright sucked. IMO, a much better mix of Western and sci-fi is the 1994 movie "Oblivion".
Please do these next! - Beauty and the Beast (the 1991 Disney animated musical movie) - Tarzan (the 1999 Disney animated movie) - The Legend of Tarzan (the 2016 live-action Tarzan movie) - Cinderella (the 2015 live-action Disney remake) - Lilo and Stitch - Hercules (the 1997 Disney animated musical movie) - Hercules (the 2014 live-action movie with Dwayne Johnson) - Noah (the 2014 live-action bible movie) - Into the Woods (the 2014 live-action Disney fairy tale musical movie based on the Broadway musical of the same name) - Kung Fu Panda - Shrek - Ice Age - Storks
Oh my god. During the movie I thought the child actor was "good", but after seeing this and realising that he was pretty much the only actor on stage and probably never even saw Kingsley, Murray or any other...he did ground breaking job!!!

@Hug -A- Bull hilarious. The writers of this channel are something else.
I was really hoping that they would have added the three vultures to the live action movie
I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THE VULTURES WHY DID THEY NOT BRING THEM BACK
Charmandy Orton I don't know why but the vultures was one of my favorite parts of the movie as a kid.
They tried to get the Beatles to cameo but got turned down again. Beatles do not like the jungle book. >.>
Yes i missed them!
At least they casted an actor from Indian ethnicity and not whitewashed it like a lot of movies.
Every single voice actor (except Akela maybe) was white. And keep in mind these characters have Indian names like Baloo, Bagheera, Akela and Raksha. I cringed so hard at the way they pronounced the word 'Bandar-log' It took me about five minutes to realize what Hindi word they were saying.

Fun Fact The Jungle Book made Rudyard Kipling the youngest ever noble prize winner for literature age 42.
Rudyard Kipling wrote "the white man's burden" lol
Another fun fact: The creator of Boy Scouts Baden Powell knew rudyard (was good friends with them), and even based some parts of Cub Scouts off of the jungle book (i.e., the leaders being called "Akelas", tiger, wolf, and bear scouts, and more I've probably missed)
Another Fun-Fact the kid from the jungle book is almost based on a real kid
Good book too
the white man's burden was not all that bad, it showed both sides of the situation, and mentions that there were lots of problem with British control. He was also actually Indian (not Native American) and so why would he write something just to bash his own people

I always pictured John goodman as baloo

Dissapointed that Kaa's voice isn't Winnie the Pooh.
Tbh it would be weird to hear a shriveled old voice from that big snake.
i'm pretty sure 90% of the original Jungle Book cast are dead, including Kaa.
What they could and SHOULD have done was got Jim Cummings to voice Kaa (who took up the voice role of Winnie the Pooh in 1988 and Kaa in Jungle Book 2). I mean he's still alive and doing voice work. Would have been more awesome than Johansson too.
ManicX - SA Well the original junge book was made in the 60s, surely some of the cast is still living
Gustavo Villegas It seemed extremely creepy when you hear Pooh's voice in a deadly snake that can hypnotize little boys. That's what made it so good. I also missed the vulture Beatles who didn't know what to do and the songs were better in the animated one too. However this remake certainly deserves to exist!
They make these movies for us old adults - my kids can barely sit through half an hour of a movie before they want to go play Minecraft again.

Bored problems more like.
A few years ago I couldn't think of anything except mindless entertainment in movies.
However soon I realised that film is an art form and while something should be entertaining the characters should be entertaining and storyline should preferably be solid
kids movies were short for a reason. 2 and a half hour "epics" are a little much for kids.
I guess I was a little different as a kid - I remember watching movies at 5, 6 and sitting real still or those. Different generation.

Honestly, the definitive adaptations should be the Chuck Jones animated ones. There was "Mowgli's Brothers", "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" and "The White Seal". All stories from Kipling's book. All faithful and all fantastic.
The greatest thing for me was the voice of Shir Khan in the german dub. He has the same voice as Scar from The Lion King and that hit me double in the nostalgia!
I feel like the cowbell joke is extremely underappreciated
The problem is it needs more cowbell
Straight up
No the cowbell joke is played out
Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription is more cowbell!
Probably went over the head of people who missed out on a time period when SNL was still good.
You know, who ever would've thought this could get to $1 billion before Batman v Superman?
It didn't
Lol BvS was trash though
Still better than Civil War.
lol no
It's not there yet. But, if it continues to stay in Japan for as long as it can, it'll hit a billion. It only needs $45M in Japan to hit a billion, now.
A TaleSpin movie would be too f'ing sick!
YES
yes.. and dark wing duck
Let's get dangerous!
Yaaaaaassssss
Hell to the fucking yeah! I grew up watching Tale Spin and Darkwing Duck!
....So I guess this movie was good? :D Never saw it, looked bad, now I'm going to have to.
better than expected man, for sure
Now I'm forced to go watch it...f...i wanted to stabilize my skyrim modpack today
Yeah its by no means a bad movie, just.. super by the numbers.. but handled really well. its a tough one. You know its objectively good but you struggle to care is probably the best description i can give it

Tristan Neal its great!!
"So pull up your red diaper"😂
Iron Man 2 is not his fault. It's executive meddling in his movie. That's why he did not come back for Iron Man 3
This is the very last Honest Trailer until the next one.
I loved the jungle book😍
Bialyz keyword "loved"
I actually really loved this movie. It was funny, entertaining, and the effects were incredible.
It has never been definitively established that Humpty Dumpty was an egg
Definitively established aside, in the poem it's not even alleged.
Well that rhyme just got a whole lot darker
Okay?
What the actual fuck ... I just had a goddam epiphany
Most likely a cannon
CLOVERFIELD HONEST TRAILER!!!
I disagree Zootopia was a better film about talking animals, this is really just a reboot so it wasn't original at all. Plus there were a lot of things that just didn't gel well with the rest of the film, and Zootopia was more well-made. Other than that great honest trailer.
Finding Dory was better too...
you realize these things are matters of opinion you cant say someone is wrong about things they like if i thought trolls 2 was my favorite movie i would not be wrong
*sigh* yes i know i was also stating my own opinion which is why i begun the comment with "i disagree" not "you're wrong"
Now just slap a big IM MY OPINION over all this and you'll be fine
Look you can probably just kinda assume im not an asshole who thinks he's right, it should be pretty obvious that from what i said this is just my opinion. more than that, im just being honest.
The year's best film about talking animals? UMMMM.
ZOOOOOTOOOOOOPPPPIIIIAAAAAAAAAA.
***** But Zootopia was so much more powerful. Sure the VFX are amazing here, but the writing in Zootopia is better and the story is stronger imo.
Zootopia is boring and without a decent story, sorry. Cares too much about PC.
You literally just described Jungle Book.
+Fuzzy Dunlop The hell movie did you watch? Zootopia killed this movie.
***** First of all...no. They're both motion pictures. That's just another term for a movie. You're thinking of Animation and Live-Action. And it really doesn't matter what they are because they compared Jungle Book to other countless animated films about talking animals. So I can say that Zootopia is the stronger movie in that retrospect.
Secondly, I wouldn't call the Jungle Book strictly drama anymore than I'd call Zootopia strictly comedy. While both films have those aspects, Zootopia did a wonderful job of telling a decently a dramatic story with an even more powerful message. Is it funny? You bet it is, but I don't define it as a comedy. If we were going that route, you'd probably more define Jungle Book as an action film. The Jungle Book did a better job of telling the story than its animated counterpart, but it was so a bit clunky and some parts I feel weren't needed or didn't fit. I also felt that the two musical numbers they included felt rather forced in.
I enjoyed both movies but from an analysis of both, Zootopia did a better job of telling its overall story. So I disagree with them when they say this is the "best movie this year about talking animals."
When I watch this, I thought the Lion King remake would be this good. I was wrong, dead wrong, LK remake was just a mess
This is the best live-action Disney remake yet😎 or until when Winnie the Pooh come out😃
2:24 holy shit my heart starts beating really fast , goddammit Scarlet
"A parkour loving macguyver"
XD 😂😂😂
Best talking animal movie of the year? Well, somebody hasn't see Nine Lives. Or Norm of the North.
Oh god, not Norm...! D:
surely the 100th ice age movie was the best one
I don't care what movie you do next, just make sure you say 'bewbs' in it. The bluuuuuue was a real tease.
We need to suggest a movie with some bewwwbs in it.
Please sing this in memory of Gene Wilder:
"🎶Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination...🎶"
Yes! Please do it!
'Parkour-loving orphan MacGyver.' FRICKIN GENIUS
Still waiting for HT Monty Python and the Holy Grail
GET ON WITH IT!
Please do Disney's tangled
Live-action remake of TaleSpin? Oh, now THAT would be something! I can already picture Bill Murray in a Mo-Cap suit pretending to be a bear flying a plane!
Please?
"So pull up you're red daiper..."
Im done XD
HOLY CRAP....HOW DID I MISS THE COW BELL REFERENCE?!!
I must have a Feevah!
Didn't Scarlet"Kaa" Johanson say "Let me eat you" in the movie :)
8====D💦
I'm calling the kink shaming police
No, of course not because she's trying to sneak up on him. Nice try.
OMG, i loved Tailspin....Baloo!!!! Oh e oh, Tailspin, Oh e eh, Tailspin! 😁
2:30 Did you know: Ka's Theme (Trust in me) was used when she (In this Movie) was telling Mougi about Fire.
Wait a minute...Andy Serkis was a part of this too? I didn't watch the movie and I don't mind Andy Serkis as an actor, but I can't imagine motion capture being so specialized that you have to have him do it in every movie that needs it.
he wasn't in it
No, he's directing the 2018 version. That footage is from Planet of the Apes and Lord of the Rings.
Andy Serkis is directing it. But he'll also do the voice of Baloo.
No not at all! Andy Serkis was planning on making one and announced it at the same time as this dude from Disney did...
Andy is going to make one that is much better! True to the book and with Performance Capture!
if he makes it true to the book, the movie is going to suck because the book isn't a book - it's a collection of non-chronological short stories of Victorian fantasy, essentially. Those are incredibly difficult to adapt while staying true to the books. Look at Nanny McPhee and Mary Poppins.
"live action" Tail Spin, on Disney+ would blow my mind
Say: Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewbs
Watch the Star Tek Honest Trailer ;)
+Thomas Ålsen Or the two Game of Thrones trailers.
Thomas Ålsen but he has to hold it for longer
After looking at you, he'll definitely hold it longer. *BA DUM TSS* Sorry I'll leave now.
lmao the cow bell reference went over my head when I saw the movie, genius!
Honest Trailer "The prestige"
Stranger Things Honest Trailer ! Pleaaaaaaase !
YES!
Yah!!!
Absolutely. I need me some Upside Down time in Silent Hill, I mean, Hawkins, Indiana.
nel prro
they did too wait for a DVD release. which is why there hasn't been a Marvel Daredevil Honest Trailer yet
Please say "bulbasaur is the best starter"
Nope.
nope zubats are
CHARMANDER!!!!
I personally think Bulbasaur is the best gen 1 starter.
I am glad someone likes poor bulbasaur. The poor think gets so much hate. Personally my favoirit if the Kanto starter trio is Squirtle. I especially like Warturtle.
I've been avoiding this movie, thanks to this honest trailer I'm going to watch it 😅
Cinamasins hated this movie, but Screen Junkie loves it... interesting
They hate everything. It's kinda the point.
Welcome to the Metaverse Yeah but they do like some movies. Like Mad Max: Fury Road or Inside Out. They've explicitly stated that they don't like this film.
"Disney is remaking all their animated classics into live action movies."
Better do The Lion King, people will shit buckets for it.
Also, say "Beat it with a chainsaw. The wrong way."
Well, I mean, it would be extremely difficult to remake The Lion King into a live action movie, since there are literally no humans in it. It would really just be a different type of animation.
They better *NOT* do"The Lion King".The original is perfect the way it is,thank you very much!
Enough with Lion King already. Frozen pretty much guaranteed that we'll see other reskinned Lion Kings for years to come anyway, we don't really need any more.
I don't get the idea that Frozen is The Lion King since Elsa is in no way responsible for her parents' deaths, she's an adult when they die, Simba has no siblings (other than Nala, shhh...), nobody has any super powers in TLK, the person trying to kill Elsa is not related to her in any way (otherwise it would have to be Rapunzel)...?
Why do people hate Cowboys and Aliens so much? For a concept that belongs on the sci-fi channel I got about what I was expecting. It was fun and blended the genres in an entertaining way.
Everything is better than the stuff on the sci-fi channel.
I thought it was a pretty good movie.
Me, personally, I thought it was unspeakably dull. When you consider the talent and potential involved, that's probably worse than if it outright sucked.
IMO, a much better mix of Western and sci-fi is the 1994 movie "Oblivion".
Lonestarr357 Or Firefly.
Bad dialogue and pacing.
