Absolutely Worth it

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2008)

I first saw this movie as a child when it was first released in the cinemas and then read the book and then, again saw the movie when it was re - released in the 1990's.
Bagheera, the panther,roaming in the jungles of India, hears a cry of a baby that has been abandoned and upon reaching the ares, he sees that it is a human baby - man cub. He calls upon all those living nearby, including some wolves to see what can be done to take care of the man cub. They all agree on looking after him but they fear that one day, Shere Khan, the tiger will find out and come after the man cub, whom they have named "Mowgli.". One day, they all get together, after being informed that Shere Khan is nearby and they decide to send Mowgli to the man village and Bagheera, the panther should take him back. Enroute, they bump into Baloo the bear and some monkeys, who try to kidnap Mowgli.
Inspired by Rudyard, Kipling, who was born and lived in India during the British rule, from his novel "Mowgli Story," this is very well adopted for the screen by the master of animations, Walt Disney. And who can forget the song, "The Bare Necessaities?" The Colonel Haathi and his elephants marching through the jungle and Mowgli meeting Baloo. This is one of the classic Walt Disney movies that cannot be forgotten ever. You can sit and watch this with your children at any time and enjoy it.
