Reception
Originally intended as a direct-to-video release, it was given a theatrical release similar to Return to Never Land. The film is notable for being the fourth animated Disney sequel to receive a theatrical release. Despite its box office success, grossing approximately $135.7 million against a budget of $20 million, it received negative reviews from critics who pointed out issues with animation quality and plot similarities to the original film.Overall, while The Jungle Book 2 achieved commercial success, it did not resonate as strongly with audiences or critics compared to its predecessor.
