Synopsis

The last animated Disney movie to bear Walt's personal touch, this much-loved, exuberant adventure follows Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves, as he journeys to seek safety with other humans in their village outside the jungle. Along the way he meets a number of memorable animals, including Baloo the loveable but lazy bear, and orangutan Louie, the "King of the Swingers' - but can he stay out of the clutches of sly tiger Shere Khan? The Jungle Book is a children's classic, filled to bursting with great tunes, memorable set pieces, drama and hilarity.
