The art style, while a tad cheap looking at first (pretty common with 3D animated shows) actually isn't that bad. Someone who dislikes the Disney adaptation for deviating too much from the book may like this version for staying more loyal. It also includes a lot of characters left out of the Disney adaptation like Tabaqui and Chil, which is nice. Baloo is the stuffy teacher, Bagheera is more lenient and friendly toward Mowgli, Kaa is a good guy, the wolf pack is actually important, etc. It is based on the original book and actually follows the book MUCH more closely than the Disney adaptation (although it's not quite as dark). A lot of people seem to mistakenly think it's based on the Disney movie (especially in the US since it airs on a Disney channel), but it's not. I actually like it, though, as sometimes it's nice to just watch a harmless show with cute little gags. I'd say it is aimed as a younger audience in that it's in general a very light-hearted and inoffensive show so it doesn't surprise me too much that a lot of adults wouldn't care for it so much. At first I didn't care for it too much but after a few episodes it kind of grew on me. I happened to watch this show with my little sister (who's about 4).
