Trivia
A plan for "The Jungle Book 3" involved Baloo and Shere Khan being captured, and sold off to a circus in Russia. So Mowgli, Shanti, Ranjan, and Bagheera would have to save them, and Shere Khan would have changed his ways because of his capture. Corey Burton would've replaced Tony Jay as the voice of Shere Khan. But after John Lasseter became CEO of Disney and Pixar, and due to the film's lackluster box-office returns, the idea, along with ideas for several other Disney sequels were scrapped.

Goofs
The film is set in India, yet the gathering at the monkey city includes hippopotamuses, which are native only to Africa, and ocelots, which are native only to the Americas.

Quotes
Baloo: In case you haven't noticed, kid, I'm no wild animal. Except at parties.

Crazy credits
A dedication appears and the end of the credits: "This motion picture would not have been possible without the inspiration from the original motion picture and the work of its talented artists and animators."

mildly entertaining

this sequel pales in comparison to the classic and much loved original.the story(such as it is)is pretty lame,and doesn't really have a point,and most of the songs are lacklustre.still,the movie was mildly amusing and had a few funny moments.since it was released about thirty six years after the original,some of the original characters from the the first movie did not have the same voice talents,which is a shame.anyway,in my opinion,they should have just stuck with the original classic,instead of releasing a lacklustre sequel.though,to be fair,this sequel is not as bad as many of the direct to video sequels that Disney has and will continue to churn out.so i guess that's something.then again,this one should not have been released theatrically either.for me,The Jungle Book 2 is a 5/10
