Amazon.co.uk Review
Disney's 1967 animated feature The Jungle Book seems even more entertaining now than it did upon first release, with a hall-of-fame vocal performance by Phil Harris as Baloo, the genial bear friend of feral child Mowgli. Loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's original, the film goes its own way as Disney animation will, but the strong characters and smart casting (George Sanders as the villainous tiger, Shere Khan) make it one of the studio's stronger feature-length cartoons. Songs include "The Bare Necessities" and "Trust in Me". --Tom Keogh
Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the very best animated films that the Walt Disney Studio has ever released (and the last to be produced by Walt Disney himself), and as downright brilliant as it was on its debut in 1967, The Jungle Book makes a very welcome return to DVD in this excellent 40th anniversary double-disc set. Based loosely on the Rudyard Kipling’s book of the same name, the film tells the story of man-cub Mowgli, and the friends he makes in the jungle. And it’s these friends who ignite the film, with some of the most memorable characters and songs that Disney has ever put on the screen. Kings of The Jungle Book are the likes of Baloo the Bear, King Louie the villainous Shere Khan the Tiger, while supporting characters such as Colonel Hathi are just as memorable. It’s astonishing that it packs so much and so many into its relatively short running time. It’s an amazing achievement too that The Jungle Book bristles with such energy and fun, and that it’s just as likely to enthral the current generation of youngsters as well as those of us who saw it first time round. And when those songs start playing--from Bare Necessities through to I Wanna Be Like You--it'll take some effort to not start tapping your feet. A brilliant, brilliant film, and as vintage as the Disney back catalogue gets. --Simon Brew

My 2 year old loves it!, 2010-08-25
I bought this for my 2 yr old daughter, as a present from her brother when he was born. I was not expecting the impact it has had. She is not into television, which is no bad thing, but this keeps her glued to her seat for the whole film. She already knows what characters are coming next and is learning all the words to the songs, as am I!
 DVD of "Jungle Book", 2010-08-24
Unfortunately I was unable to play it as all that showed were typed words, wrong area, so returned it to the address in Jersey , Channel Isles. I am hoping for a replacement that can be played in the U.K. and on my machine !!
 Jungle Book dvd, 2010-06-19
In spite of all other DVDs I have bought from the UK (and the ones I have sent from NZ) this would not play on my player (out of region). It does however play on my son's player so I have passed it over. I am disappointed.

I purchased the Jungle Book DVD so as to be able to let the new Cubs learn about the characters featured in the film which are what Baden-Powell based Cub Scouting on, and they all seem to enjoy it especially Disc number two when they can interact with it. In my opinion it well worth it. Thank You.
Very good quality and content., 2010-07-23
Bought this for my young grandson who had been borrowing one from a friend, he loves it. Unfortunately I bought it after it came down in price only for it to be shown on Sky-Cine the following week, therefore I could of used Sky+ and then copied it. Never mind.
