     The Jungle Book
1967  G  ANIMATED  1h 18min
CAST— Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders, Sterling Holloway, J. Pat O’Malley, Verna Felton, Bruce Reitherman
MUSIC— George Bruns, Robert B. Sherman, Richard M. Sherman  DIRECTOR— Wolfgang Reitherman  BASED ON— The Jungle Book (book), by Rudyard Kipling

     Pleasant throwback to ‘60s Disney animation, this time focusing on a young boy named Mowgli, raised by wolves, whose life is threatened by the presence of the oh-so-suave man-eating tiger, Shere Khan. Various wild animals escort him to a human village, but when he meets up with Baloo the bear, things shift into overdrive. The boy becomes obsessed with the bare necessities of life and film history is born. A few too many ‘60s tinged songs scatter about the film, but the kids are sure to enjoy this Disney classic.
OUR RATING— ** ½
FOLLOWED BY— The Jungle Book 2 (2003)
ORIGINAL— Jungle Book (1942)
REMADE AS— Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book (1994), The Jungle Book: Mowgli’s Story (1998), The Jungle Book (2016)
