++++ BACK TO THE JUNGLE (‘THE JUNGLE BOOK PROJECT’, 2002) I was always fascinated with the way children can watch the same video or listen to the same record over and over again, several times a day, for weeks or months. In December 2001, looking for a present for my god-daughter, I wanted to see if ‘The Jungle Book’* could pull her out of her several-months’-old addiction to Winny the Pooh. The idea was not to buy one version, but three or four: Dutch, English, Spanish, Italian, etc. I wanted to see how an 18-month-old baby would react to watching the same thing and hearing something different each time. Somehow, before I could send her the tapes, I was fascinated by the experience of listening to all the dubbed versions. I wanted to give a different language to each character in the same film.
