alinea 6, maar zijn uit de tekst weggehaald (zie stippellijntjes in de tekst).

a Computer-generated imagery has come such a long way that it’s often
misused to the point that objects lack grounding, since they obey no
physical laws.
b So Mowgli, previously a bust at climbing trees, out-Tarzans Tarzan, or
more accurately out-Spiders Spider-Man, by vaulting, swinging and
dashing through the vegetation on his way to maturity and a
showdown with Shere Khan (parents of small children should know
that he is one truly scary cat, and that several of those chases can be
frighteningly intense). The setting is exotic instead of extra-terrestrial,
but this film is just as gripping and convincing as the science fiction
blockbuster.
c Yet nothing could be further from that unhappy truth than *The Jungle*
*Book*, which, obeying its own brilliant sense of design, puts its
creatures into a landscape of a hyper-reality that hasn’t been seen
since *Avatar*.
