superb Disney

Rating: 8/10 (25 February 2003)

What can I say about this that hasn't already been said? It is extremely funny, with Baloo, King Louie, Shere Khan, Bagheera, Kaar and the other great characters (the elephants!). The music is brilliant, full of hummable tunes. The animation is colourful and full of little touches of genius (I love the expressions on the various animals' faces). Then it goes off into a vein of sentimentality at the end which fits perfectly. I also love the opening music. Perhaps the last truly 'great' Disney film?
