Who: Bill
What: Walt Disney's The Jungle Book
Where: at home - Two Disc Platinum Edition DVD
Why: Melanie and I wanted to watch a fun movie
A protective panther. A menacing tiger. A sly snake. A fun-loving bear. Dancing monkeys. One clueless boy. And only hours until… THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN!
Okay, so I’m being a little over-dramatic. In actuality, Walt Disney’s "The Jungle Book" is a fun movie with plenty of memorable music and a brisk pace that leaves the viewer wishing it was a little longer (running time is 78 minutes). In fact, you likely will be humming "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You" long after the movie ends. There are a memorable range of voices from Singer/Bandleaders Phil Harris (Baloo) and Louis Prima (King Louie), the distinctive Sterling Holloway (Kaa), and the sophisticated British accents of George Sanders (Shere Khan), J. Pat O'Malley (Colonel Hathi) and Sebastian Cabot (Bagherra). It's great entertainment that appeals to all ages, especially fans of Disney's animated features.
"The Jungle Book" has been released on DVD to commemorate the 40th anniversary of its original release. Disc One is the movie itself, with digitally remastered video and sound. Disc Two contains the bonus features including new documentaries about the movie that will appeal to adults, and games and activities for the kids.

Was Ollie Johnston the animator who did Baloo dancing? You always see that clip of Ollie (that was him right???) dancing and Baloo dancing - and they are exactly the same!
