## Description

A classic 1967 Disney animated film that's loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's book of the same name, Jungle Book tells the story of a young boy Mowgli who was raised by animals in the jungle. When tiger Shere Khan threatens to return to their part of the jungle, the other animals decide that Mowgli must return to the man village in order to ensure his safety. Panther Bagheera has difficulty convincing Mowgli to follow him to the man village and recruits the help of a big lovable bear Baloo. Mowgli's journey is one of wit, song, and many surprises. A timeless film populated by strong characters bursting with personality, great music like "Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You," and inspiring animation by Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, and other master animators, Jungle Book captivates audiences of all ages. This Platinum Edition includes everything from the standard bonus features like interactive games, music videos, and deleted songs to exciting and sometimes rare commentaries by everyone from modern day animators to Walt Disney himself, multiple featurettes about specific aspects of the film and its production, and a lengthy deleted scene featuring lost character Rocky the Rhino. Especially interesting for adults and Disney fans are "The Bare Necessities: The making of The Jungle Book " featurette, which explores Walt Disney's commitment to developing strong characters and his insistence that writers, animators, and song writers create a light version of Jungle Book that followed his own personal interpretation of the story, and the "The Lure of The Jungle Book " featurette, which discusses Frank Thomas' and Ollie Johnston's amazing contribution to the film as prolific animators and the inspiration and influence that their work provided for future animators including Brad Bird ( The Incredibles ), Andreas Deja ( Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King ), Sergio Pablos ( Tarzan ), Will Finn ( Home on the Range ), and Eric Goldberg ( Fantasia 2000 ). The full length commentary by Bruce Reitherman (voice of Mowgli), animator Andreas Deja, and composer Richard Sherman with its interspersed archival commentary of Disney greats from the original creative team (Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston, Woolie Reitherman, and others) is also very interesting and insightful. --Tami Horiuchi One of the most popular Disney films ever, THE JUNGLE BOOK is a song-filled celebration of friendship, fun, and adventure set in a lush and colorful world. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's "Mowgli" stories, Disney's 19th animated masterpiece was the last animated feature that had Walt Disney's personal touch. The jubilant adventure begins when Mowgli, a little boy raised by wolves, is urged by his friend Bagheera, a wise old panther, to seek safety in the man village. Feeling very much at home in the jungle, Mowgli resists and runs off. Much to Bagheera's dismay, Mowgli meets a new friend with a happy-go-lucky philosophy of life -- Baloo the Bear, a lovable "jungle bum." Together, the three buddies find the journey back to civilization anything but civilized! They encounter a crazy orangutan, the hypnotic and sly snake Kaa, and the menacing Shere Khan! Fully restored for this 30th anniversary edition, this enduring classic swings with jazzy toe-tapping music, including the Academy Award(R)-nominated "The Bare Necessities," and the freewheeling "I Wan'na Be Like You"! A thrilling story for all ages, THE JUNGLE BOOK is an absolute necessity for your video collection.

Review: A True Disney Classic - The Jungle Book tells the story of a boy named Mowgli who is raised by wolves in an Indian jungle. He leads an idyllic life befriended by many animals until the day that Shere Khan, the tiger, returns to the area intent on killing the boy. The animals decide to send Mowgli to the man-village where his people can protect him. Bagheera the panther gets the job of escorting him, but Mowgli has no desire to leave the jungle. In his desperation. Mowgli links up with Baloo the Bear and attempts learn the "Bear Necessities." A good deal more happens, but I don't want to give away the whole plot. Disney has made few movies that have maintained their popularity as well as The Jungle Book. It is a true classic. First, the voice talent is quite possibly the finest ever assembled for an animated film. Younger audiences will not be familiar with names like George Sanders and Sebastian Cabot even though they were very well known in their day. But the important thing is that every single voice is pitch perfect for the part. The epitome of this is obviously Phil Harris who provided the booming voice of Baloo. I must confess that Baloo is probably my favorite Disney character of all time and I can't conceive of anyone else bringing the easy charm and warmth that Harris just radiated with that incredible voice of his. The characters are all interesting and likable. The malicious Shere Khan comes across as incredibly suave with a wry wit that is quite funny at times. Even relatively minor characters like Colonel Hathi and King Louie are memorable and enjoyable. This is partly because of the excellent voice acting and partly because of the unusually sharp script. The story moves along at a brisk pace and more than holds the interest of adults and children alike. Mowgli seems to get in one mess after another and the jungle provides a great source of these situations. The music is yet another high point. The soundtrack features several tunes that are very catchy and fun. Some are well remembered such as "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You." But even less featured songs such as "Colonel Hathi's March" and "That's What Friends Are For" burn themselves quite pleasantly into your brain. If The Jungle Book has a fault, it is in the animation. The movie was made just as Disney started cutting major corners in their animation and it shows. The character animations are definitely more sketchy and rough than you would see in a movie like Lady and the Tramp when they were more meticulous. Fortunately, the character design was still flawless and the quality of art had not yet diminished to the extent that it would in the 1970s when the company's animation hit rock bottom. My final verdict on The Jungle Book is that it is as entertaining an animated film as you're ever likely to see. In many aspects of its production, it remains one of the true greats and I would recommend it to anyone of any age. The story is interesting, the characters and voices are incredible, and the music is as catchy as any soundtrack you'll hear. The art is a little rough but is not nearly bad enough to detract from the overall experience.
Review: Five Stars - The Jungle Book, one of Disney's ultimate classics, it has great characters, an awesome story and terrific animation. I'll admit it, I adore Disney movies, I could never choose just one Disney movie as my favorite, I love them all for so many different reasons. The Jungle Book is one of my fav's though, after buying the new release on DVD, I realized that I love this movie now more than ever. The reason that I think this movie is so wonderful is because of the characters, they just brought so much life to the story and really made this into a wonderful Disney classic. Mowgli is found in a basket as a baby in the deep jungles. Bagheera, the panther who discovers the boy, promptly takes him to a wolf who has just had cubs. She raises him along with her own cubs and Mowgli soon becomes well acquainted to jungle life. Mowgli is shown ten years later, visiting the wolves and getting his face licked eagerly when he arrives. That night, when the wolf tribe learns that Shere Khan, a man-eating tiger, has returned to the jungle, they realize that Mowgli must be taken to the man village, to protect him and those around him. Bagheera volunteers to escort him back. They leave that very night, but Mowgli is determined to stay in the jungle and loses Bagheera. Kaa, the hungry python, hypnotizes Mowgli into a deep and peaceful sleep, traps him tightly in his coils, and tries to devour him, but comically fails. The next morning, Mowgli tries to join the elephant patrol. Bagheera finds Mowgli and they argue; Mowgli runs away from Bagheera. The boy soon meets up with the fun-loving bear Baloo, who shows Mowgli the fun of having a care-free life and promises not to take him to the man village. Mowgli now wants to stay in the jungle more than ever. Shere Khan is after Mawgli though and won't rest 'till he kills him. Seriously, these are some of the most memorable characters in Disney history, we have Baloo, the care free party bear that just wants to have fun and only needs the "bear" necessities of life. Begheera, a panther, that we've all known this kind of person, the one that just wants to get down to business and get as much done as quickly as possible, the party pooper, but deep down still has that heart. And one of Disney's most memorable villains of all time, Shere Khan, voiced by George Sanders, classy, sassy, menacing and vicious, I wouldn't be surprised if he was Scar's inspiration(the lion villain in The Lion King). If you haven't seen The Jungle Book, just buy it, believe me, it's worth the money. It's a classic fun animated film that I will love forever, still to this day I will always sing along to Bear Necessities, it's a good time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a bear necessity.
*by M***Y on November 6, 2007*

Go ahead and buy it now. Did I ever see this movie when I was young? It is so hard to know with these Disney movies as I watch them with my daughter. Some of the songs seem familiar, but is it from watching the movie? We only got to see them every couple years or so on the Sunday night movie. This movie, which was released the same year I was born, is much more fresh and young than I am. First- another Disney remastering where the film is absolutely flawless, crisp, and colorful. The soundtrack is good as well. As for the film and story and music, this is one of the best from Disney. Watching Baloo dance and sing the Bare Necessities is so enjoyable for adults and kids. When Baloo puts on his "disguise" at the ruins and starts to dance with King Louie, he steals the show. All the songs are great, but my favorite is King Louie's "I Wanna Be Like You". If there is one flaw with the whole DVD, it is the music video for that song by a youngish rock band, and it is a bad version. Louis Prima's original is so good, perhaps nobody could top it, but this isn't even close. Disney has done much better with some of the extra music videos on the other DVDs. One special touch of all these Disney movies, is compeletely unintentional, is "spotting" or hearing the voice actors in the various roles in the various movies. In this one, of course you have Sebastian Cabot, but the one I really love is Sterling Holloway as Kaa the boa. Holloway a decade later would go on to be Winnie the Pooh and you can always hear him as Pooh, so to hear Pooh's voice come out of the evil Kaa, is just delightful. (Holloway also was the stork in Dumbo 25 years earlier than Jungle Book). My daughter loves this movie and so do I.
