wise panther Bagheera, happy-go-lucky bear Baloo,
and the menacing tiger Shere Khan, but amazing
special features that both new adventurers and
seasoned explorers are sure to enjoy.
Embark
on a thrilling, adventure-filled journey with
the boy, Mowgli as he makes his way to the man-village
with Bagheera, the wise panther. Along the way
he meets jazzy King Louie, the hypnotic snake
Kaa and the lovable, happy-go-lucky bear Baloo,
who teaches Mowgli 3The Bare Necessities2 of
life and the true meaning of friendship.
Based
on Rudyard Kipling’s “Mowgli Stories,” The Jungle
Book is the final film Walt Disney produced
(his 19th) and will become Disney’s 10th title
to be honored with Platinum status. The original
cast includes a pair of “Winnie the Pooh” stars:
voice of Pooh himself, Sterling Holloway as
python Kaa, and Sebastian Cabot speaking for
Bagheera the panther. Oscar winner George Sanders
(All About Eve) voiced tiger Shere Khan. Bruce
Reitherman, son of director Woolie, played Mowgli,
with Phil Harris as Baloo the bear.
