Great family story

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2005)

I have loved this movie since it came out! Not only do I think it is this the best Disney animated movie (Shrek is a close 2nd, but definitely 2nd), it is the best animated movie period. It has so much going for it: a great heart warming story everyone will love, fantastic and really enticing music and songs, and absolutely marvelous voices to match each of the main characters. The outstanding voices are George Sanders for Sher Kahn the tiger, which is such a full and powerful voice (you can almost feel the tiger's presence when he speaks), Sebastian Cabott for the panther Bagherra that is in your face always, Phil Harris for that rascal bear Bahlu, and Louis Prima for the orangutan King Louie, with there marvelous beat and song throughout the palace scenes. And of course, there is Moglie's voice, which is fitting and pleasant, but not stellar like almost all the others. The ending is still befitting in today's world, 40 years later!
