Jungle Book

Pros: Great songs, great characters, great animation... did I mention it was great?

Cons: To me, none at all.

The Bottom Line: If there is actually anyone out there who hasn't already seen The Jungle Book, I recommend they correct that ommission as soon as possible!!

Review: The Jungle Book is, and will always be, one of my very favourite animated movies.  Based (loosely) on Rudyard Kipling's famous book of the same name, The Jungle Book features a young boy called Mowgli  (voiced by Bruce Rheitherman, the ...

Pros: Delightful music; great voice talent; fun story

Cons: One frightening scene for very young viewers (please see review)

The Bottom Line: There have been a lot of wonderful animated Disney films. This one still stands up as one of the best!

Review: On my second date with the man who would eventually become my husband, we went to India. Not the actual country! Instead we paid an imaginary visit to storybook India via the beautiful Disney film The Jungle Book. The family theater in our college ...

Pros: great songs, enjoyable characters

Cons: Walt Disney's last movie

Review: This is the obstinate statement uttered again and again by Mowgli, the Indian boy raised by wolves in the jungle for his first ten years. He was discovered as a baby by Bagheera the panther and given into the care of a pair of wolves who had just been...

Pros: A swingin' animation classic restored

Cons: Does not stay true to the literature the film is based on

The Bottom Line: Forget about your worries and your cares with Baloo and Mowgli for awhile!

Review: This 2 disc anniversary edition of "The Jungle Book" is based on Rudyard Kipling's classic book. This film tells the story of Mowgli who's parent were killed by Shere Khan, a man-eating tiger. Toddling innocently away from the scene of the murder, Mowgli ...

Pros: Top-notch musical numbers and strong performances

Cons: That limited animation again.

The Bottom Line: This movie excels at story and music, if not at animation. Baloo the bear is a memorable character.

Review: Introduction

"Inspired" by Rudyard Kipling's work (that's a safe way of putting it) Disney's 1967 version of The Jungle Book is a rollicking good time of a movie that is still one of the most popular Disney features ever. Just...

Pros: Great characters, good musical score, a Disney Classic, good , family, fun plot

Cons: None for me!

The Bottom Line: A classic animation which has style and is great fun

Review: This is ultimately a review of the Platinum Digitally Re-Mastered Jungle Book which was released on DVD a little before Christmas 2007. It does however tell you all you would need to know about the film, without spoiling it for you. ...

Pros: Lively and funny. Has great characters.

Cons: Not "epic" like you see in Disney's modern movies.

The Bottom Line: Still lively and hip, with great and funny scenes. Top it off with good animation, and you have one of the better movies of Disney's classics.

Review: Reeling from the failure of The Sword in the Stone, Disney badly needed another animation extravaganza. They got it in the form of The Jungle Book, another underrated gem. Ditching the stylized look and dramatic depth of 101 Dalmatians, they made...

Pros: Great story line!

Cons: Shere Khan..ok no cons really

Review: I just love the Jungle Book. We have the movie and the children's book. Every time my daughter watches it, she's up and dancing! Very cute!

The movie starts out in the Indian jungle with Bagheera, a black panther walking by himself. Suddenly...

Pros: Wonderful jungle-like characters, Disney high quality film.

Cons: Actually, this drags in parts

The Bottom Line: See this movie, add it to your collection, and escape into the Disney jungle once in a wonderful while!

Review: We rented this after seeing the second "Jungle Book 2" movie as my 13 year old had not seen it. I was surprised at how this movie dragged! Yes, Kaa, SheerKahn, Balou, King Louis and friends, Bageera, and all the vultures were there. But the story...

Pros: Great Music Great Story

Cons: NONE

Review: I love the Jungle Book!!! This movie is about Mowgli-the man-cub who grew up in the jungle and was raised by the jungle animals. Baloo is the "Mama" to Mowgli. Together, they have many adventures and fun times. One time was when Mowgli was...
