First things first, do not, I repeat, do not spend extra money to see Disney's latest live-action remake of The Jungle Book in 3-D.

The film, unsettling at first, put you in a position of wondering what can possibly happen when you entrust your kids to someone you don’t really know. The opening scene, intentionally shot at a considerable distance, makes us immediately alert by portraying an abduction of a…
