I can’t deny that part of me had already begun writing the “Disney’s live-action remakes are a cure on the world” portion of my review. Because as profitable as Alice and Maleficent and Cinderella were, their quality ranged from competent ( Cinderella) to godawful ( Alice). Which is why I approached The Jungle Book with more than a little trepidation.

Nobody knows how to get every last drop out of their properties better than Disney. After that came Maleficent ($758 million worldwide) and Cinderella($543 million worldwide), plus plans for Beauty and the Beast and Mulan, and as long as the money keeps rolling in, you can expect this to continue indefinitely. This started back in 2010 when the Johnny Depp-starring Alice in Wonderlandmade an ungodly amount of money, and Disney execs got those little cartoon dollar signs in their eyes. So when sitting down with Disney’s The Jungle Book, it’s not just the adventures of Mowgli you’re watching it’s the latest in Disney’s push to roll out live-action remakes of their animated classics. Even something as simple as an Adam Sandler comedy is difficult to extricate from the whole Thing with Adam Sandler comedies. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Rogue One both exist within established cinematic universes that must be tended to, even if their plots aren’t explicitly tied to anything. One Marvel movie exists within a landscape of all the other Marvel movies. More and more, when it comes to mainstream filmmaking, you can’t just review the movie, you have to review all the other movies that are part of that movie’s marketing strategy.
