Jungle Book

I got the grand-kids over the weekend, so I decided to take the mice to the movies ... but which one to see?

I finally decided on The Jungle Book.  Mostly well done CGI and old fashioned animation but with a living child playing the major role.

Well, the theater was almost empty, about 10% full it seems and a senior citizen, plus two under age 9 children came to $70!  Of course that included popcorn and small drinks!  eepah ....

The movie as an enjoyable frolic through make believe jungle places for them but over all a highly recommended film.

I am not going to critic the movie, any more than I would any other children's cartoon ... like Woody Wood Pecker.  But, it does have an interesting social angle hammered in over and over and over again.  It was a refrain used by both Lenin and again by Hitler, in Germany, it directly gave birth to the Brown Shirts and then the SS.  But, since no one will catch this phrase, because no one knows history, nor the roots of the Vril, Communism and National Socialism - well, that is the cost of being willfully ignorant ...  (of course, now you know you can read about the Vril and see what I mean!)

Go, enjoy, do not worry ... no one will catch the slip in this culture ...

Also covered are Earth water cycles, effects of fire and the problem of incompatible animals.  The tiger is a bit cruel and violent, and since no one will know what a gigantopithecus is ... why go there in the film or in this write up?  Heck if I know ... but I for one am sure they still exist in the wilds of North America ...
