Editorial Reviews

The final animated feature produced under the supervision of Walt Disney is a lively neo-swing musical, loosely based upon the tales of Rudyard Kipling. The story takes place in a tropical jungle where people are conspicuously absent. But one day Bagheera the Panther (voice of Sebastian Cabot) discovers a baby in the wreck of a boat. Feeling pity on the child, Bagheera takes him to be raised with the wolves. Ten years later, the child has grown into Mowgli (voice of Bruce Reitherman). Mowgli discovers that his life is in danger because of the return to the area of Shere Khan the Tiger (voice of George Sanders), whose hatred of humans is such that Mowgli faces certain death if discovered. Bagheera agrees to transport Mowgli to the human village, where he will be safe from Shere Khan. Along the way to the village, night falls and Mowgli and Bagheera almost succumb to the man-eating snake Kaa (voice of Sterling Holloway). Escaping Kaa's coils, they run into the lock-step military elephant band of Colonel Hathi (voice of J. Pat O'Malley). Afterwards, Mowgli, who doesn't want to be sent to the human village, runs away from Bagheera and meets up with the fun-loving Baloo the Bear (voice of Phil Harrris). With both Bagheera and Baloo to protect him, Mowgli is saved from several more life-threatening situations -- including a barber-shop quartet of vultures, the crazed King Louie of the Apes (voice of Louis Prima), and Shere Khan himself -- before making it to the village of humans.

August 23, 2009: This is my favorite Disney movie of all time & now I've got my son watching it. We had to update our VCR tape to a DVD.

April 22, 2009: Had a blast watching this over and over with my 2 1/2 year old. Though he doesn't understand all implications of the story, he loves the characters and has been role-playing Mowgli. With good interaction and discussion, parents can help kids learn a lot from this film, even though it's not an "educational" piece per se. Great intro to jazz music for little kids. As with all Disney, adults can find inside jokes, social commentary and even enjoy singing along with the songs.

Anniversary edition has interesting addt'l features including a short documentary history of making the film -- the last animated film with which Walt Disney was intimately involved before turning his attention to diverse other productions by his company.
