One
of the most popular Disney films ever, The Jungle Book is
a 
song-filled
celebration of friendship, fun 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 jubliant 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 Bagheera's dismay,
Mowgli meets a new friend with
a happy-go-lucky philosophy of life ~ Baloo the bear, a loveable "jungle
bum". Together, the three buddies find the journey back to ilization 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 Academy Award -nominated "The Bare
Necessities" and the freewheeling "I Wan'na Be Like You"! A thrilling story
for all ages, The Jungle Book's timeless appeal makes it
an absolute necessity for youe video collection.
