The jungle really gets to jumpin'.

Rating: 8/10 (25 July 2008)

Absolutely wonderful. The last animated feature supervised by Walt Disney. Based on the Rudyard Kipling story of Mowgli(voiced by the director's 12 yr old son Bruce Reitherman),a young boy found abandoned in a jungle in India. Mowgli is first raised by wolves before being put out on his own and his adventurous travel through the jungle to find the human village. He learns the meaning of real friendship and trust from inhabitants of the jungle like, Baloo the bear(Voiced by Phil Harris); King Louie of the apes(voiced by Louis Prima)and the hypnotic snake Kaa(voiced by Sterling Holloway). Then there is the wise panther Bagheera(voiced by Sebastion Cabot). Beautiful cinematography and brilliant songs like "The Bare Necessities", "I Wan'na Be Like You", "Trust in Me" and "That's What Friends Are For". There is plenty to make you visit THE JUNGLE BOOK again and again. Fun for all ages. Other voices you may or may not recognize: George Sanders, Verna Felton, Lord Tim Hudson and 8 yr old Clint Howard.
