The Jungle Book (1967)

Jungle Book, The (1967, USA) C-78m. *** D: Wolfgang Reitherman. Starring the voices of Phil Harris, Sebastian Cabot, Louis Prima, George Sanders, Bruce Reitherman. One of Disney's most popular animated features, this amiable comedy is about a boy who is raised by wolves in the jungle. When no-nonsense panther Bagheera intends to bring him back to the humans, they meet Baloo the Bear and learn about 'The Bare Necessities'. Cute, well-animated, but lacks a powerful narrative. Based on motives from Rudyard Kipling's novels. This was the last film that Walt Disney supervised before his death. Followed by a sequel in 2003.
