The Jungle Book
课 堂 学 习
Below is an introduction Laura gave to her class about The Jungle Book. Pay attention to the underlined subjects and verbs and fill in the table below. The first two have been done for you.
Everyone was surprised when Disney said its film team members were remaking The Jungle Book. Based on Rudyard Kipling's book of the same title, it describes the story of a boy named Mowgli. Mowgli and his animal friends live happily in the jungle until one day Shere Khan the tiger returns and tries to drive him out of the jungle. In 1967, Disney adapted the book into a cartoon film, which is widely regarded as a classic. However, its old age shows. The new film uses much more advanced technology — not only the animals but also the jungle is digitally created. Building the jungle environment on the computer was no easy job. It took more than 800 artists over a year to work on the project. The Jungle Book lasts for about two hours but there is enough tension and humour to hold your attention during the whole film. Two hours seems very short when you're having so much fun!
