Wonderful voice actors which most youngsters won't remember from tv and films. Sad that Walt Disney never got to see this film on which he had worked.

Every time I watch a classic Disney movie, I have to admit to myself that I only imagined I'd seen it before. The Wonderful World of Disney (and its French-language equivalent) loom large in my childhood, and that program showed a lot of clips, but rarely ever the full features. The Jungle Book is like all of them. You have the big song and dance numbers running through your head and you think, yeah, I've seen it. Then you watch it and there's a British elephant army, Beatle-like vultures, and a cast member appears to be killed... Whaaaa?! I think my whole generation (pre-VHS tapes coming out of the Disney Vault) is due for a rewatch of all these old classics. The Jungle Book is fairly plotless, being a picaresque assembly of Mowgli meeting different characters as he pushes his way home. The main villain shows up late after being talked up a lot. The reason he accepts his fate is very last-second. It's more about the charm of each individual set piece and the strong animation (the kid really does walk and move like a kid that age). I like how the Disney films of this era let the sketched pencil lines show up in frame. I like the grittiness of that. You can tell someone DREW it. We don't get that so much anymore due to technical advances.
