    Cartoon version relying less on action than on songs and voices; patchily successful but no classic.

    swinging man!

    this is from the golden age of disney when they couldn't put a foot wrong, it's about a boy who is abandoned at birth in the indian jungle and raised by wolves, he becomes a threat as he gets older as a result of a vindictive tiger and has to leave the jungle. What ensues is a laugh a minute comedy musical, with some of the best disney songs, its infused with 60's style and colour and it has some of the best characters to ever have come out of the house of mouse. One for the whole family

    FAB

    Catchy songs, ace villians and the vultures who mimic the Beatles. What more could you ask from Classic Disney.

    'I Wanna Be Like You!'

    Other films might quote one of the outstanding songs of this truly great Disney cartoon: 'I Wanna Be Like You'. That is, have a great plot, characters, artwork, script and songs. Superb!

    Classic marvel

    Long one of my top ten movies, this combination of fluid animation and evocative music deliver Kipling's archetypal tale with aplomb. Each character is distinctive and accessible. I cannot pick out favourite moments from this treasure.

    Superb Remastering

    Long awaited remaster makes the Jungle Book look like it came out in 2007 - the kids as ever love this classic and it was great to see it again (and not on grainy VHS).

    Disney's TheJungle Book

    One of the funniest cartoon that has come from the Walt Disney studio. It was my very first film, that I saw at the cinema (we're going back about 30 odd years) and after all this time I still find it entertaining.

    Great Childrens and Adults Entertainment - Another Disney Great!

    Amazing Disney Classic, I have always loved this movie and enjoy it even more when I show it to each of my children for the very first time. The music, songs and dancing are out of this world. It's one of those movies you find yourself singing along too. Easily by far the best Disney Movie.
