So this movie suffers from some seriously bad timing, since Disney's Jungle Book came out just two years ago and was a huge success. This Warner Brothers one, directed by Andy Serkis, looks like it's trying to be more faithful to the original Rudyard Kipling stories (and it actually looks better than Disney's to me), but with all the familiar CG animals and Indian setting, it can only look so different. Is there an audience for what's essentially a more serious version of the same thing? It comes out October 19th.
