...it is, in the final analysis, difficult to recall a more underwhelming series within the Mouse House's ongoing body of work.February 18, 2003
More development and nuance in Karl Geurs' script would have made a big difference.February 14, 2003
Likely to provide 72 minutes of enjoyment and a few scary thrills to tykes, as well as a pleasant diversion for parents.December 28, 2010
Ok for kids, but not the most inspired sequel.April 03, 2016
The characters giggle too much (as hyper-cute Saturday morning animated offerings will do), the music isn't as well integrated into the story, and the humans come across like an Indian version of The Cosby Show.February 19, 2003
John Goodman's Baloo admits, 'King Louie? He split!' Before the third defibrillation of 'Bare Necessities,' you and your kids might too.February 18, 2003
Wait for it to come out on video, it'll baby sit a four-year-old. Anybody else is gonna be bored by it.March 17, 2014
[Blu-ray Review] A minor work from the Mouse House, but Disney enthusiasts will still want to pick up this high-definition package for the stupendous picture and lossless audio upgrade. They know who they are, and for them this Blu-ray comes recommended.February 14, 2003
Relatively innocuous but utterly unnecessary -- except from the standpoint of unbridled capitalism.August 24, 2008
it's hard to top the originalFebruary 15, 2003
That scratching sound you hear isn't Baloo the bear rubbing against a tree, it's Disney scraping the bottom of the sequel barrel with a follow-up that has none of the charm or creativity of the original.
