A work of art, Took my breath away!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 1999)

I am a big fan of disney movies and I do believe that they have really out done themselves this time. The animation was, to say the least, SPECTACULAR! I have kept with Disney my whole life and this one is by far their best yet. It will be very hard to top, you can be sure of that.
The only thing that I would have to say against this movie is that it is certainly not a children's movie. Over the years, Disney has gotten away from making animated movies that are appropriate for younger audiences. Ever since "The Huntchback Of Notre Dame," Disney has included material that is in some way too mature for younger viewers. I am referring to the scene where Claton hanged himself. They did the best they could with the scene, however I believe that a child would still have trouble relating to what occurred on the screen.
However, as an adult I greatly enjoyed the movie. The story line itself was excellent and the animation was fabulous. My favorite part was the music. I loved the way Phil Collins used the music to tell the story. The percussion helped to bring out the jungle atmosphere. I especially liked "Trashin' the Camp." I wish there were some way to put that on stage LIVE.
I only have one more thing to say. TO DISNEY: Congratulations on a job well done!
