One of the brightest jewels in the Disney crown - and the last animated movie to bear Walt Disney’s personal touch - this jubilant adventure begins when Mowgli, a young boy raised by wolves, is urged by his friend Bagheera, a wise old panther, to seek safety in the man-village. Along the way they encounter a number of jungle animals including Baloo, a loveable bear and a group of troublesome chimps - but can they stay out of the fearsome clutches of “lord of the jungle” Shere Khan? The Jungle Book is a children’s classic, filled to bursting with great tunes, memorable setpieces, drama and hilarity.

One of Disneys best films without dowt, perhaps on of the best films ever made. The characters in the book were brilliant and Disney has recreated them superbly. The film in it will be rembered forever not just because of the quility of the film but also the hugly popular songs that also feature.

I liked it because the man tied the stick of fire on to the lion’s tail. The monkey took him away.

Fascinating facts
The vultures that feature in The Jungle Book were originally intended to be voiced by the four members of The Beatles – after they dropped out at the last minute, the birds’ accents and haircuts were kept as a tribute to the legendary pop group.
