One of the most popular Disney films ever, The Jungle Book is a song-filled celebration of friendship, fun and adventure set in a lush and colourful world. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories, Disney's 19th animated Classic was the last animated feature to bear Walt Disney's personal touch. This jubilant adventure begins when Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves, is urged by his friend Bagheera, a wise old panther, to seek safety in the man-village. Feeling very much at home in the jungle, Mowgli resists and runs off where he meets Baloo the bear, a lovable "jungle bum" with a happy-go-lucky philosophy of life. Together, these new buddies find the journey back to civilisation anything but civilised, encountering a crazy orangutan, a hypnotic snake and the menacing tiger Shere Khan along the way! Fully restored to its theatrical brilliance, and featuring jazzy, toe-tapping music including the Oscar-nominated The Bare Necessities, this enduring Disney Classic will delight your whole family!

Probably the peak of Disney's animation.
The perfect blend of story. characterisation and music.
It is an adaptation of Kipling's tale of the boy who is raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. When Sher Khan, the tiger who hates and fears man, demands the wolves hand him over, the boy is taken into the care of Baloo the bear and Baghera the panther to be taught the ways of the jungle.
He survives the jungle and Sher Khan to eventually be united with his own people.

An eternal favourite that has been beautifully restored. Forget the Disney's Junglebook 2, there is none better than the original.
