Review by Milo Wakelin on 17th October 2007
The last film Walt worked on during his lifetime, The Jungle Book has all the ingredients of a Disney classic: timeless source material (Kipling no less!), strong voice cast (Phil Harris and Sterling Holloway) and animation that recalled the studio’s golden age. But The Jungle Book has secured its rightful place in the Disney pantheon for one good reason: the music. With the Sherman Brothers’ sssssumptuous Trust in Me; their toe-tapping I Wanna Be Like You; and Terry Gilkyson’s Oscar-nominated scat, The Bare Necessities, this was the first animated film soundtrack to go gold.
Made in 1967 and only previously released on DVD in a limited edition run in 1999, The Jungle Book still feels fresh – the characters fizz with energy and pizzaz, from the grizzled hipster Baloo and a moptop quartet of Merseybeat vultures, to the King of the Swingers himself, King Louie.
Only Disney could weave Kipling’s colonial-era narrative into a coming-of-age slacker comedy, and the colour and excitement of the jungle is the perfect background to this fantastic family film, which is the bare essential of any collection.
