If you loved The Wiz, try The Jungle Book
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Adventure / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wiz, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Jungle Book is
A boy raised by wolves joins civilized company via a flirtation. He must guide a greedy outsider to a mythic ruin while dodging romance. A perfectly serviceable escape into the wild, if not exactly untamed.
