It was pretty spectacular and if you can see it in that format, do so! The environments were so engrossing and the characters so adorable that I had a stupid grin on my face the whole time. It was enough to forgive the awkward moments where Bill Murray and Christopher Walken start singing karaoke versions of Disney songs in the middle of an otherwise pretty masterful technical feat.

They didn't seem to jive with what this movie was going for at all. I would have been fine if Baloo referenced something about the bear necessities in a line of dialogue, and the same with King Louis wanting fire, but to see CGI animals sing was just a bit too goofy in an otherwise pretty serious movie.John Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08810774557887719483noreply@blogger.com
