A film set in the wild jungle of India. 1967. Directors: Wolfgang Reitherman.
Mowgli is found in a basket in a boat on a river. The friendly wolfs raise the little boy as one of their own. But some years later, he must leave them.
He has to be taken to the "man village" where he can grow up and be safe from the man-eating tiger Shere Khan. The panther Bagheera is responsible of taking Mowgli to the village.
But Mowgli doesn't want to go there at all, he wants to stay in the jungle. He doesn't see Shere Khan as a threat, which is a bit stupid, and tries to persuade Bagheera to change his mind, but fail.
Mowgli then meet the happy and free bear Baloo with whom he becomes friends. Baloo disagrees with Bagheera about taking Mowgli to the village, so Mowgli likes Baloo.
But when the dangerous Shere Khan arrives, will Mowgli survive, or die because of his own decision?
I think that this film can be pretty slow and sometimes boring. There's nothing that's really, really funny. Maybe the vultures, but otherwise, not much at all.
