Editorial Reviews

Get ready for the wildest movie to ever come out of the jungle! THE JUNGLE BOOK: MOWGLI'S STORY is a hilarious, live-action adventure complete with the beloved characters from Rudyard Kipling's timeless tale. The wise old panther Bagheera, life-is-just-a-bowl-of-cherries Baloo the Bear, and the nasty tiger Shere Khan are back -- except this time they're live and they "talk"! This all-new movie brings real-life excitement to young Mowgli's early adventures in the jungle. Told from Mowgli's point of view, it's the story of how a boy became a mancub and a mancub became a man. From Mowgli's first meeting with his new wolf "family" to learning the laws of the jungle to outwitting Shere Khan, THE JUNGLE BOOK: MOWGLI'S STORY is wildly funny and filled with laughter, fun, and friendship your whole family will love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kid's Love Animals!, May 31, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I think young kids 6 years old and younger would really like this movie. Little kids love animals, let alone animals they think are talking! OK, it doesn't exactly follow the Rudyard Kiplings "Jungle Book" version, but I think this was suppose to be light and fun for young children to enjoy, not so much for us adults. My kids enjoyed watching this video over and over again.

2.0 out of 5 stars Stay away from this one...., May 21, 2002

This was done by Disney? Wow! After so many really good films, they finally made one that the kids complained about.

The talking animals was poorly done. They should have paid more attention to other talking animals films.

My kids did not like this one very much. It was close to the original story, but just not fun. If you have little ones (under 10), you would be better off with Disney's animated Jungle Book film.

Some sample awfulness: Shere Khan stalks through the jungle, singing "one little, two little, three little Indians..." Bagheera is a girl. The wolves whistle (yes, a wolf whistle) at a pretty cub raised with Mowgli. This is so awful I had to leave the room while it was on.
