    I don’t think that anyone was really asking for a live action “remakes of Disney’ animated movies, but it seems like we are getting them any way. Kenneth Branaugh’s “Cinderella” was fine, “Maleficent” was fine, I don’t know if Tim Burton’s 2010 “Alice in Wonderland” fits in the same family, but we have been getting big budget mediocre Disney remakes pretty often with a ton more announced. Jon Favreau’s “The Jungle Book” took it’s source material and improved upon it, making a movie that people can’t help but love and be in awe of. “The Jungle Book” is directed by Jon Favreau and stars Neel Sethi with the voices of Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, and Christopher Walken.

In the first scene of the Japanese raid, a low-flying Japanese plane flew over Oahu and it passed over a sandlot baseball field where the pilot warned the children of the attack.

The main characters, Rafe McCawley and Danny Walker, are based on George Welch and Kenneth Taylor who were two of the few pilots that were able to become airborne and engage the Japanese attackers.

    You can’t complete a jigsaw puzzles if pieces are missing; you can’t expect to have a great movie adaptations when important details are cut out. It doesn’t bother me that Katniss’s shirt was green in the book and yellow in the movie; I don’t care that Annabeth’s hair was brown and not blonde, and I really don’t understand why everyone is so upset that the cornucopia from the Hunger Games was silver and not gold. These details have zero effect on the plot. What effects the plot is when script writers cut chunks out to meet certain movie requirements, which sadly is bound to happens with any adaptation. The problem is you can’t have a good story when pieces are missing.

    When women who are looking for a distraction view this film, it is subtly showing them that in order to live their perfect, happy life they must work for it. That they are only worthy of love once they have served their “prince charming”, as that is what their fantasy is showing them. This representation is extremely harmful to women. They may view these movies and see that they are not these things, that they do not currently cook and clean for their lovers and they may wish to maintain a full time job instead. It leads women to believe that they cannot have their happily ever after unless they do all of the things that they are seeing in Snow White and Cinderella’s perfect fantasy, as Snow White and Cinderella had to do these things to find their happiness.
