Disney has made a habit of producing sequels, sometimes made-for-home video and occasionally (Return to Never Land, The Tigger Movie) to theaters, for almost all of its animated classics (sometimes even a series of sequels), but The Jungle Book 2 seems in many ways the least necessary of them all. It’s not the worst of the lot, but its story is so threadbare that it’s basically just a rehash of the first film with a couple of new tunes added (one rather catchy) and almost all of the characters from the first recycled into this new one (with new voice actors coming as close as they can to the sounds of the original voices) but almost nothing new jungle-wise to fashion new fans for the story.
