If it had 5 or ten songs, you wouldn't notice, but those two moments really stood out and dumbed the movie down to me. The two times the movie broke out into song, also didn't really fit with this version either. This is realistic for the amount of action, but it made me uncomfortable seeing this in an almost naked kid getting abused and almost killed by half the jungle. It was also not a good feeling to see cuts, scrapes and scars on Mowgli as the movie progressed. Mowgli looked the part and seemed to handle the physical side of his performance as the only live performer, but his acting at times made me think of 'Anakin from the Phantom Menace' which is not good for a comparison. It was always beautiful to watch the almost perfectly realistic models of the animals.
I knew the story and the characters, and was not disappointed with this current rendition of this classic Disney/Kipling.
