For me, this movie screams good vibes. The bare necessities has always been my life philosophy. A wonderful tribute to Walt Disney... This being his last film. Baloo is the best mentor for any kid. Overall, highly recommended for anyone who loves musicals.

The final film walt worked on, and a decent finale.

I gotta say this is a true Walt Disney Classic. I was obsessed with this movie back in fifth grade and into my middle school years. This 1967 movie is my favorite version of The Jungle Book. I discovered the book when I was very little but I didn't know any of the character names except for Mowgli. However, when I read the book again years later, I learned all their names. I gotta say Mowgli is very relatable because he's about to experience change that he's nervous about. However, he ends up embracing the change at the end of the movie. I have a comfort zone myself and sometimes have to step outside of it. Mowgli loves the jungle very much that he doesn't want to leave it as we know. There's a village across the jungle known as The Man Village and that's where Bagheera the Panther persuades him to be as Shere Khan the bloodthirsty and man eating tiger is a threat to him. I can't decide who my favorite character is but I'd definitely choose either Mowgli, Baloo, or Bagheera. I love Baloo because of his fun loving and carefree characteristics. I also think that this movie takes place during the dark ages because none of the humans go to school and are working in the village. Especially Mowgli since he was raised by wolves in the jungle. I presume he learned basic grammer from the wolves. I also feel bad for Mowgli as he barely has any clothes expect a red underwear. Bagheera was right about Mowgli not being able to survive in the jungle as Shere Khan isn't the only dangerous animal in the jungle. Kaa the Python is also a dangerous animal as he tried to devour Mowgli after hypnotizing him. I gotta say Kaa is creepy as most snakes are and I for one do not trust him whatsoever. Furthermore, another way I can relate to Mowgli is admiration for nice girls. For Example, Mowgli instantly liked a girl coming from The Man Village. I also have admiration for nice girls I meet. I was very charismatic with girls back in high school and I have friends that are girls. Whenever I think of this movie, it brings back memories from fifth grade since I watched this movie a lot back then.

**The Jungle Book (1967) – 2.5 Stars** As a kid, *The Jungle Book* felt like pure magic, but watching it now, it just doesn’t hit the same. The story and characters never really pulled me in, and at times, I found myself bored. I've seen this tale told in much more engaging ways. That being said, the voice acting is top-notch, bringing real personality to each character, and the music? Absolutely iconic. Songs like *The Bare Necessities* and *I Wanna Be Like You* are still fun, even if the film itself didn’t hold my attention. It’s a beautifully animated classic, no doubt, but the pacing feels slow, and the plot lacks depth. Nostalgia aside, this one didn’t quite keep me entertained. Worth a watch for the music alone, but if you're looking for a gripping jungle adventure, there are better versions out there.

Fun, amazing songs, lovable characters, and a certified classic! Kids of any age will enjoy it, I first watched it when I was about 12 and loved it. It was Walt Disney's goodbye to the world, and he really left an amazing movie for us to see. It's truly such a fun movie, and a great choice for family movie night.

The jungle book 1967 is amazing Disney animated movie and my rating is a 10/10

the plot is slow and then quickly concludes, just like how all the movies were in this era. Not a huge fan of that but it is what it is. Bare necessities is an amazing song!

Great characters, great songs and a fairly straight-forward plot. It's probably the first Disney film to have a truly memorable hit song, in my mind, with The Bare Necessities.

A childhood favorite.

The story of the Jungle Book is simple, a boy takes a walk in the jungle and happens upon different animals with differing opinions on his well being. However, what really pushes this movie above the rest is the music! Once again the Sherman Brothers knocked it out of the park with a little help from Terry Gilkyson who composed “The Bare Necessities”. All the songs in this film are favorites of mine! The cast hits it as well: Phil Harris is amazing as Baloo, Louis Prima was ingeniously cast as King Louis and George Sanders plays a menacing Shere Khan. I love the scene with Khan and Kaa having a conversation about Mowgli. Which leads me to why I can’t give this film five stars. Beside the simple plot, Bruce Reitherman, who plays Mowgli, can not sing to save his life. Again I think that “the kid has to be cute” won over “the kid should contribute to the music” idea. Since the music is really all this movie had going for it, the fact the lead isn’t musical is a big issue for me. Still highly recommended though!

I saw the Jungle Book 2 first before I saw the original movie. When I watched the original movie, it was good.

Not great, but very good and fun.

One of my fave films. Now enjoying it with my children. Great music. Humour. Action. Just love it.

nice going, doesn't bore

Nicest cartoon ever. It's funny, exciting, and has the right balance of emotions. The new version is no match.

The Jungle Book is a Disney classic that continues to charm audiences with its delightful animation, memorable characters, and catchy musical numbers. A joyful and entertaining film that brings the jungle to life and leaves a lasting impression on viewers of all ages.

OK guys, here's what I'm going to do. This is definitely one of Disney's last films. Me and my friend Harry loved it. We were quoting all the lines all the way through and I've said it before and I'll say it again, it is so much fun. The songs are memorable, The March Song, I Wanna Be Like You, Trust In Me, That's What Friends Are For and the one The Bare Necessities. My favorite part about this film is Baloo singing The Bare Necessities. There are all that I really love like I Wanna Be Like You and The March Song. The music sounds the same much like from Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, The Sword in the Stone and others. I even found the opening music creepy when I was a kid, well not that creepy. The villain is brilliant and he's name is Shere Khan and he hates men and do whatever it to kill Mowgli. Bagheera has all the loyalty he can get. By the way, Bagheera is not just a cat he's a panther, a black panther and he sure reminds me of the pink panther. Well that's it, that's The Jungle Book the last Disney classic he had ever made. You'll enjoy the characters, the animation and the catchiest songs ever.

I find it hard to believe that this was Walt Disney's last film as a producer. He had an incredible imagination and a big heart, and that was something that nobody could ever deny. I am forever grateful that his incredible artistry continues to inspire everybody around the world, and many people have continued to honor his legacy. As for the movie itself, THE JUNGLE BOOK is a fantastic work of art with wonderful animation and outstanding characters, and the story is definitely well told from start to finish.

The greatest 01 hour: and 18 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starring the late Phil Harris as Baloo the Bear!!!!!!!!!!!!

70% rating ... Fun, entertaining animated feature filled with catchy songs and memorable characters.
