It's Got Personality

Rating: 9/10 (4 December 2010)

This is one the Greats. It is one of the best 'Buddy' movies of all time. The animation and interaction between Mowgli, Bagheera and Baloo is wonderful. There is so much spontaneity and energy that you hardly realize as you are watching that years went into the making of this.
The movie is edited to perfection with no extraneous scenes – it just moves seamlessly as the story progresses. The renditions of 'Bare Necessities' and 'I Wanna be Like You' are marvelous and etched forever as animation favourites. And the voice-overs are unique and make each character a distinct personality.
The extra features on the DVD are excellent and provide a lasting legacy to this fine Disney classic. It is amazing to see how the story evolved and changed during it's creation phase. There is such much love and talent that went into making 'Jungle Book'.
