Memorable Softened Version of Kipling Classic

Rating: 9/10 (7 December 2016)

How can you not love this famous story. We are introduced to Mowgli, raised by wild animals, all of whom have memorable personalities. Most of them are benevolent creatures who direct the young man to a life where he is loved. Of course, the jungle is filled with threats, from Kaa to Shere Khan. There are wonderful songs an animation that knows no peer. This was produced in the Disney heyday and sparkles from beginning to end. There are other versions that put more fang into the story. They have their merits as well, but this is the one that most of us remember. It's a story of love and caring that all kids and adults should enjoy.
