Movie Reviews of The Jungle Book (40th Anniversary Platinum Edition)
Movie Review: Jungle Book
Summary: 5 Stars
What a great movie! I'm so glad it was re-released! A treasure for our whole family!Movie Review: My daughter was spellbound
Summary: 5 Stars
Children love this movie. Rarely does my four year-old daughter watch the entire movie the first time. She did this with the first viewing. She did not move from her chair, singing along. For my first viewing, Jungle Book delighted me as well.Movie Review: Still Special after 40 years....
Summary: 5 Stars
Disney's latest addition to its platinum DVD series is its 1967 classic, "The Jungle Book". Many reviewers have complained about the widescreen transfer of the film for this new DVD - I'm not. Having both the platinum release and the original limited issue '99 disc, the sound and picture quality of the new edition towers over its imperfections. A worthy addition to the platinum DVD collection.Movie Review: The Jungle VIP Returns!
Summary: 5 Stars
Walt Disney's animated classic, "The Jungle Book," gets the platinum treatment on its latest appearance on DVD. This wonderful tale, fully restored with vibrant colors and excellent audio, tells the story of Mowgli, a man-cub, and his black panther father-figure, Bagheera (Sebastian Cabot), as the latter attempts to get the boy back to the man-village where he belongs before the wicked and mighty tiger, Shere Khan (George Sanders), can get his claws into him. Along the way they meet up with the one and only jungle VIP, King Louie (wonderfully voiced by Louis Prima), Kaa the python (Sterling Holloway), everybody's favorite bear, Baloo (Phil Harris) and some wisecracking vultures.
This platinum edition features an excellent digital restoration, a number of excellent documentaries, games, a visit with "Rocky the Rhino," who found his way to the cutting room floor, and plenty of other extras. There's also a passable Jonas Brothers cover of Louis Prima's "I Wan'na Be Like You" that's sure to attract the attention of pre-teen girls the world over.
This particular DVD is also a Disney Movie Rewards disc, meaning that you can gain points for purchasing it.
While some squabble over the aspect ratio of the film, I think that the story, music, and characters are far too valuable to pass up because of this. If you don't own "The Jungle Book" and consider yourself a Disney fan, make sure you buy this disc before Disney takes it away again.
Highly recommended.
