And here it is.
1. They certainly have some damned good voice talent for it.
2. The CG animal stuff … remains to be seen. There's a fine line (or uncanny valley) between believable animals and the talking characters Kipling (and, later, Disney) described. Some of that didn't seem to quite gel yet. But, then, I'm not sure I've seen something like this before.
3. In case you're wondering the extent to which this will harken back to the animated version … there are some lines and just a bit of music that answer that question.
4. That said, the teaser-trailer is awfully dark and suspenseful. It will be interesting to see what sort of humor they allow to creep in.
For the moment — this is on the to-watch list.
