The Jungle Book 2 - 6/17/2008
Last year, I received a lot of grief from readers who insisted I was heartless for panning Disney’s Lilo & Stitch. As I sat waiting for my The Jungle Book 2 screening to begin, I relished the idea of more hate emails flooding my inbox if this latest animated adventure didn’t bring the goods. But this time, Disney didn’t let me down, and though I’m somewhat disappointed knowing those email unpleasantries do not await me, I am thrilled to give The Jungle Book 2 a glowing recommendation.
The Jungle Book 2 begins flawlessly where the original left off as Mowgli (now voiced by Haley Joel Osment) is trying to adjust to the chores and responsibilities of living in the man village. Mowgli would much rather play with his new family than work, but he also dreams of disobeying orders to cross the river outside the village and enter the mysterious jungle in search of his old friend Baloo (John Goodman). One night, Mowgli’s desires of returning to his jungle home become reality. Unfortunately, this causes great concern from his girlfriend Shanti and the rest of the village. What Mowgli doesn’t realize is that the tiger Shere Khan (Tony Jay) anxiously awaits another meeting with the young cub, so he can settle old scores.
Moving at a brisk 75 minutes, The Jungle Book 2 is fun family entertainment and has just the right blend of music, laughs, and adventures to keep both the kids and adults interested throughout the film’s entire journey. In particular, Disney took great care with the film’s pacing. In several spots, as the action got closer to a lull, a musical number or comedic routine from Lucky (Phil Collins) and his vulture pals help replenish the film’s journey.
The very crisp animation of The Jungle Book 2 is rich with vibrant colors that starkly contrast the hastily drawn, unfocused Lilo & Stich. The jungle scenes are ripe with a generous mix of cheerful greens and blues, except when Shere Khan roams the land and the colors turn to sinister reds and oranges. As far as the music is concerned, the film offers two new foot-stomping showtunes, “Jungle Rhythm” and “W-I-L-D” along with a return of some old favorites, including “Bare Necessities.” Each musical number is precisely choreographed and brought to life with the many inhabitants of the jungle.
The Jungle Book 2 lacks the heavy moral message typical of other Disney films, but in a time when sequels rarely live up to the original, its flawless, lighthearted entertainment will please everyone – much like this review, I hope.
Redefining the game of catch.

Artist: Kimmo Pohjonen
Genre(s):

Year: 2002
Tracks: 10
Kielo
Year: 2002
Tracks: 11
The recipient of Folk Musician of the Year awards in 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999, Kimmo Pohjonen has brought a modern sensibility to the traditional piano accordion music of Finland. A ex-serviceman of pop and rock bands, Pohjonen continues to apply what he's well-read to the phratry music of his native land. His debut record album, Kielo, released in March, 1999, was named one of the year's topper albums by Finland's leading day-to-day newspaper, Helsingen Sanomat.
The logos of a forte-piano piano accordion participant, Pohjonen began playing the button piano accordion at the age of tenner. After perusing classic music at Helsinki Conservatory, from 1980 until 1985, he continued to study classic and sept music at Helsinki's Sibelius Academy, which he tended to from 1985 until 1996. During the same clip, he studied at the Bagamoyo College of Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Initially attracting attention with his melodeon playing as a phallus belt down and rock music bands, including Toni Rossi And Sinitaivas, Pohjonen was invited to join Finnish folk chemical group Ottopasuuna. He remained with Ottopasuuna until 1998 when he in short united a rock band, Ismo Alanko Saatio. Pohjonen balances his solo vocation with performances and recordings in Pinnin Pojat, a duo that he shares with JPP fiddler Arto Jarvela.
Pohjonen collaborated with Tapiola Sinfonietta in the spring of 2000 on an original musical production, Kalmusikkisin Fonia, that included a light usher and quadrophonic sound personal effects. The show up debuted with ternary performances at the Savoy Theater in Helsinki.
Pohjonen teaches at Sibelius Academy.
Nick Jonas For President?
We’ve had George Clooney, Tom Cruise and Benji Madden as possible candidates for American President, but you can now add Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers to that list.
Nick's bandmates and siblings Kevin and Joe insist the 15-year-old already has all the diplomatic qualities necessary to run the country.
He just has to wait 20 years until he's old enough to qualify.
Kevin says: "Nick should run for President. I want to announce his candidacy right here - in 20 years time."
And Nick is keen, adding: "'It's true, I say to people I'm going to run for President, and maybe I will one day. I think it's 2028 I can run."
If he does try to get into the White House, maybe this little tyke can take his rock'n'roll place in The Jonas Brothers!
