Super Movie

Rating: 10/10 (31 August 2006)

I have all of the best Disney movies, animated and live action both. Jungle Book is the absolute best - movies, animation, backgrounds - it can't be beat. The music - 10/10. I heartily recommend it and I'm 76 years young. I remember Phil Harris (Baloo) with fondness; Louis Prima (The Monkey King)- an excellent musician; George Sanders (Shere Khan) - the most wonderful villain ever; Sterling Holloway (Kaa) - a snake of the highest order. Such a wonderful selection of voices for the characters and personalities. NObody 'swings' like Baloo. I especially loved Mowgli's expressions upon meeting the girl-man-child. The animators got his 'stunned' expression perfectly.
