...least Disney has left ?Jungle Cruise? largely alone. If anything, the jokes are even cornier, the puns even more egregious, than they used to be - and this is all for the good, since the animatronics on display by the riverside now seem sweetly old-fashioned.

What we have here, believe it or not, is 62 minutes of great make-out music. This is intended as a high compliment...
