The Jungle Book Overview:
The Jungle Book (1967) was a Animation - Adventure Film directed by Wolfgang Reitherman and produced by Walt Disney.
SYNOPSIS
The 17th animated feature produced by Disney studios and the last film supervised by Walt Disney himself, this endearing feature is based on Rudyard Kipling's story about a boy named Mowgli raised by wolves in the wilderness of India. During his delightfully scary adventures with a series of wild creatures, Mowgli learns he must leave the jungle and be what nature intended him to be - a man. Delightful jazz-inspired songs, including "Trust In Me," I Wanna Be Like You," and "Bare Necessities," make this a Disney classic. The 30th Anniversary Limited Edition includes a featurette entitled The Making of the Jungle Book and a songbook featuring lyrics from the soundtrack.
