Sheeeesh-sorry I brought it up. But friendship and family are nice messages in The Jungle Book. But if you roll your eyes at the screen because no-way-wolves-would-raise-a-human, stick to documentaries I guess.
Wolfgang, did you ruin every Disney movie for your kids by pointing out how impossible the plots were?
On another note, it was an incredible piece of filmmaking.

Wolfgang, did you ruin every Disney movie for your kids by pointing out how impossible the plots were? Even better is to reveal the real original stories. The Little Mermaid? The prince marries another woman; the little mermaid turns into sea foam and can receive a soul but only if she serves mankind for another 300 years. Sleeping Beauty? The prince (or king) rapes her while she is sleeping, and the pain of childbirth is what wakes her up. Cinderella? The birds peck out the eyes of the stepsisters after they mutilated their own feet in order to fit them into the glass slipper.

Snow White - the queen is forced to put on a pair of red-hot iron shoes and dance until she dies.... at Snow White's wedding.The Grimm's were aptly named.

Chock full o' cannibalism, murder, incest, rape, thievery, torture, and more cannibalism.

I always kept my mouth shut after watching a movie for the first time with my kids. After a couple years pass and if we happen to watch the movie again, we have a discussion about it. That's when I ruin all their movies for them. But they get to enjoy the movies for the first two years.

"You know what wolves do? They hunt. They kill. It's why I never bought into the Jungle Book. Boy is raised by wolves and becomes friends with a bear and panther? I don't think so." -- Lorne Malvo (played by Billy Bob Thornton), Fargo (season 1). You know what authors do? They make up stories. They lie. It's why Kipling wrote The Jungle Book. Boy is raised by wolves and becomes friends with a bear and panther? You're not supposed to think it's literally real. I can appreciate the fact that you love The Jungle Book. Often, we love things and we love certain people even though no one else understands why. (No one in our family can understand why my aunt married my idiot uncle. Nothing in common. Always fights. Stupid children. Dumb house. You can't help loving who you love.) For example, since we're in the movie thread, I just love Bourne Ultimatum and the first two Daniel Craig James Bond movies, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace. Can't get enough of 'em. I could watch them nonstop 24/7. Now, I don't routinely love movies like these but for reasons I can't quite explain, these movies do something for me.

I don't actually love The Jungle Book. I liked it (the book). Didn't love it. But it's worth reading.

Saw Spectre yesterday. What a piece of crap.
However, I really enjoyed Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace -- two of my most favorite James Bond movies of all time. Daniel Craig is also my favorite James Bond. Sean Connery was awesome but I never liked his James Bond movies. In fact, I'm not really a James Bond fan.

I prefer Pierce Brosnan, largely due to Goldeneye on the 64. Did you hear Daniel Craig turned down a lot of money and passed on playing Bond James Bond in two more movies?

Pierce Brosnan is a good actor but I hated him as Bond.
