I don't like the story for either movie. I don't like the characters, or the design of them. I'm not impressed by the animation on Shere Khan. As we see here, the animation was repeatedly re-used. And not only re-used in the same film, but swiped from other films like Snow White. I don't know why people have to defend the nine old men like they could do no wrong. How long do we have to hear about these two crappy flicks? It's the year 2009. Get over it. I seriously hope to never have to hear about them again. There's nothing more to be said. They are bad.
