    Should be successful, and it signals the arrival of Andy Serkis as a major director in his own right.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Can't wait till the click bait articles calling Kipling and anyone who supports this film a racist start popping up.

    Netflix Acquires Andy Serkis-Directed ‘Mowgli’ From Warner Bros & Plans 2019 Global Streaming Release
    Welcome to the jungle that is this fast-shifting movie meld between theatrical release and streaming. In the biggest acquisition of a finished film it has made so far, Netflix has acquired from Warner Bros the worldwide rights to Mowgli, the CGI live action film directed by Andy Serkis based on the Jungle Book stories of Rudyard Kipling. Instead of an October 19 theatrical release by Warner Bros, the film will be released globally on Netflix next year, with a theatrical component built in so that audiences can see the 3D version that Serkis has been working so hard on.

    It looks bad. It doesn't look much different from the other recent one.

    The CGI on the animals is awful but the CGI on Mowgli is incredible.

    Reviews I've seen suggest it's got good animation but also bad animation so maybe budget affected it and the story has some strong aspects but just doesn't quite land.
