In defence of Shere Khan

Let me start by expressing how good the new CGI film actually is. It is truly cutting edge visuals, great voice casting and a wonderful, timeless story (from Mr. Kipling of course). However, in the spirit of being a miserable old git, which I am of course, there are just a few things which don’t sit right with me whatsoever. The moral and geographical continuity of this film is just off. It’s not good, it’s bad, it’s not right and I’ll tell you exactly why. There is an unsung hero of this film, a martyr of the jungle if you will, his name, Shere Khan.
