Review: The Jungle Book is one of the most memorable Disney film. Its based on the Mowgli stories of Rudyard Kipling (who also wrote the famous Just So Stories). As with most Disney movies, Mowgli is an orphan. Bagheera the panther to find him and he rose up by a family of wolves. It is up to Shere Khan the tiger is there in the woods ... One thing I love about The Jungle Book is the bandits. In most Disney movies have a villain, sometimes silly and ridiculous sidekicks could bossed around all the time. But The Jungle Book offers all three bandits as Mowgli all by himself. With real Louie the king of the monkeys. He kidnaps Mowgli but do not really want to hurt him, which probably makes him the most cruel of three. All you want is to be the same person as he puts it an amazing song that will make you get up and dance, I Be Like You. More specifically he wanted to learn the secrets of how to make a fire. Then there is Shere Khan, the tiger, which is there in the forest, and because the Bagheera and the wolves (and possibly Baloo) who wants to take him back to the villagers. Shere Khan is a very fast and brutal but also very quiet about his cruelty, and not the least bit resentful. But its properties to make changes in his final screen appearance, and frankly I'd be freaking if I had a burning branch stuck on my tail (heck, I freak if I only had a tail). Shere Khan hates humanity and of course Mowgli is a human. Last but certainly not least (my favorite of the three) - Kaa, the snake, and a very great I might add. Check-King Louie wants to be like Mowgli, Shere Khan wants to kill Mowgli and Kaa wants to ... eat Mowgli. He has a very big mouth that would allow him to eat Mowgli but he was too bad he talks a lot and then never get the chance to eat Mowgli. Other than those three memorable villains theres Mowgli himself, the man-cub (which by the way is the voice of Bruce Reitherman, son of the director of this film, and many other Disney big: Wolfgang Reitherman). Theres the elephant, the vultures (that really beautiful and quite funny too), Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther. Songs include Louies King (which is expressed by Louie Parma) Can I Be Like You. Kaas Trust Me (which should not ... trust Kaa that). And of course Baloos The Naked Necessities.As for racist overtone, that is one of the silliest things I've heard. The Jungle Book can be enjoyed by anyone of any age (... and any race).
