Review of The Jungle Book (1967) by Nicky N — 23 Aug 2014
A wonderful, fun movie, suitable for all ages.
One of the more memorable Disney movies. Mostly because of its great soundtrack. Just about every song sticks in your head, never to depart (and thankfully so). The songs move the story along, and give the whole movie a fun, innocent, feel-good vibe.
Animation is great too. Some of the tricks and shots are quite outstanding.
Voices are spot-on. So many good voice-performances it is hard to pick a stand-out. Louis Prima probably gets the nod due to providing the swingingest, jazziest song of the movie, King Louie's "I Wanna Be Like You (The Monkey Song)".
Only negative is that the plot is fairly basic.
An animated classic, and not just for kids.
