While The Jungle Book might not be perfect, it is still a charming little Disney film that carries much of the same charm and talent as the very best the studio has presented.

This may not be Kipling’s The Jungle Book, but Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book is still a classic in its own right.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Aug 19, 2022

The characters are effectively conceptualized and flawlessly realized.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 24, 2020

May be one of their lesser classics, but there is a reason why it has endured for so long.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 7, 2019

Written by the Sherman Brothers, the songs are catchy and make me smile every time I hear them.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 6, 2019

The result is thoroughly delightful. The reasons for its success lie in Disney's own unfettered animal spirits, his ability to be childlike without being childish.

The period's feathery drawing style abounds, and an all-round warmth pervades.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 15, 2016

Smple, uncluttered, straight-forward fun.

The plot and pacing may be nearly as lazy as the sloth bear Baloo (Phil Harris), but animators use that to their advantage, developing the characters so that even minor ones seem majorly entertaining.

| Original Score: B+ | Apr 3, 2016

Here's yet another animated feature from Disney's mostly barren stretch between its two golden ages, a film that plays better in nostalgia-tinged memories than in the here-and-now.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 18, 2014

Disney's grandniece recently cast aspersions on the picture, but I don't share her pessimism.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 10, 2014

[Blu-ray Review] Looking and sounding like a million bucks (or more) and full of exhaustive bonus content new and vintage, the Blu-ray release of "The Jungle Book" is a must-own for anyone who loves animation, the Walt Disney studio, or film in general.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 24, 2014

Every one of the bunch is memorable, and each plays gracefully into the action of the film.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 14, 2014

...a sporadically entertaining yet hopelessly uneven bit of animated filmmaking.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 13, 2011

Jaunty animation meets jazzy songs in Disney classic.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 2, 2011

By far the most contemporary in expression and attitude of any Disney animated feature to that time.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 16, 2009

The standout song goes to Harris, a rhythmic 'Bare Necessities' extolling the value of a simple life and credited to Terry Gilkyson.

| Nov 3, 2009

A witty animated feature from Disney based on the famous Rudyard Kipling stories.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 10, 2008

It's a slight tale, of course, and incredibly short, but the characters and songs are pretty much perfect viewing time and again.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Mar 10, 2008

Ridiculously entertaining.
