When I first saw the 2016 remake of Disney's The Jungle Book , I thought of a classic Disney animated movie:  The Lion King , which is also getting a remake in 2019. So in honour of the upcoming 2018 gritty adaptation Mowgli , let me tell you why they are the same story. In the wilderness of a third-world country (Kenya; India), the young son (Simba; Mowgli) of a well-respected animal leader (Mufasa; Akela) lives a happy life with a tribe of predators (lions; wolves) until his life is threatened (Mufasa's younger brother, Scar, covets the throne and plots to kill Mufasa and Simba so he can be king; vicious tiger Shere Khan resents man for burning his face with a dangerous force known as "the Red Flower" and wants to kill Mowgli as a result) by a scarred feline (Scar; Shere Khan). When the villain becomes a genuine threat (Scar tricks Simba and his betrothed, Nala, into going to the elephants' graveyard, where they are attacked by a group of spotted hyenas in lea

Hello, Toby Gold here and welcome to another Top 10 List. I'm almost 18, so in honour of my adulthood, today I'll be counting down my Top 10 Goodbye Scenes in Film. For this list, I've chosen scenes where a character says goodbye to another character, either knowing they'll never meet again or unsure if they ever will.

Glinda tells Dorothy that she had the power to return to Kansas all along, thanks to the ruby slippers she received at the beginning of the film. After saying goodbye to the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, Glinda instructs Dorothy to click her heels together, and soon enough,

When I first saw the promotional material for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy , I immediately thought of Star Wars . It turns out that GotG  is the same story as Star Wars: Episode IV -- A New Hope . Let me tell you why. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a young man (Luke Skywalker; Peter Quill) encounters an aging member (Obi-Wan Kenobi; Yondu Udonta) of a group of fighters (Jedi; Ravagers) on an isolated planet (Tatooine; Morag), where he recovers a powerful weapon (Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber; Orb). The old man gives the main character cryptic information (Obi-Wan tells Luke that his father was a Jedi Knight, but was killed by a Sith Lord named Darth Vader; Yondu tells Quill that he and his men did not deliver the latter to his father, a member of an ancient, unknown species) about the identity of his estranged father (Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader; Ego the Living Planet). The main character teams up with a princess (Leia Organa; Gamora) with an adversarial rela
