I think not releasing it in theaters makes it have a taint (heh, taint), of the old days when bad movies would go directly to dvd. That’s not really the case anymore, with all these options in streaming, but that idea might still be lurking in the corners. I hope it’s brilliant, and that Netflix promotes it well and does justice to it. It certainly has a talented cast!

I think it should be disappointing for Andy Serkin because it was designed for the big screen and clearly he intended something revolutionary, again, for the big screen but yes, it’s not the good old straight to DVD thing.
WB clearly didn’t know what to do with it (it could be because it’s bad or because it’s something really daring for a family movie but more obvious because they think it can’t compete with a juggernaut as the Disney version), I hope Netflix do. The good news is that it doesn’t matter what it won’t be a huge box office failure.

I saw a poster for Mowgli in my local movie theater today, so somebody hasn't informed them yet that it's not coming!

With all of the channels showing movies, there are probably 3 different versions of the Jungle Book available right now. It's not like the days when a movie released two years ago seemed like a long time, and audiences might be ready to see a new version. One effect of Netflix and other channels, is that movies stay around a lot longer, and seem new again when they are added.

WB usually likes darker stories. I bet they sold it because they genuinely think it's awful.

Gosh, I hope not! But if it is, it won’t be the first time BC’s been in a bad movie, lol.

I could have used an Animal Farm movie/series when I was in high school! I wonder if they’re still teaching it at my old school? I remember that I never really understood all the political stuff in the novel, although I did well on an essay I wrote about it (which I think I still have somewhere!)
