Trivia
This film was originally slated to be released late 2016, but after information was released that Disney would be releasing a live-action remake of its animated film The Jungle Book, the release date was pushed back to 2018.

Goofs
Mowgli looks about 10 years old. His wolf brothers would be mature adults by this time, but are still depicted as youths, and the parent wolves and Akela are still alive when they would have died of old age.

Quotes
Akela: When you were a cub, I looked you in the eye and saw no fear. I believed that one day you would bring peace to the jungle. But you have become a man now.
Mowgli: I'm not a man! But neither am I a wolf.

Crazy credits
The Warner Bros logo is shaded tropical green and yellow (jungle colors).

It briefly appears through Kaa's scales, which fits with Kaa as the narrator of the film.

Could be better

It seems to have most of the elements that could make it a good movie but falls just a little short. One of the things that's odd is the CGI. It's not bad quality as the textures and color look good, but the shapes seem off. Shere Kahn's head seemed oddly wide, the wolves looked cat-like, Baloo looked like a post apocalyptic bear or something. The story and acting were decent.
