Jungle Boogy!

It's amazing how powerful the classic Disney films are. My daughter can't stand watching any of the new Disney stuff, such as Lion King or Pocahantas or Beauty and Beast. I'd turn those on and within 15 minutes, she's playing with her toys, bugging her baby sister, or wanting to read books. I think the over-long opera-sounding musicals in the recent Disney crop are just too damn annoying for toddlers. Yet I played Jungle Book for her and she was nearly glued the whole time, and wanted to see it again as soon as it ended. She just adored this film. And when the catchy tunes started, she actually jumped and danced around with a big grin on her face.

I think Disney has lost its 'magical' touch.

If you want to start up a DVD collection for your kids, just stick to the classics.

9/10

My daughter also loves this movie, and watches the video over and over again. sadly, we don't have it on DVD---so we got the sequel (which isn't as good, but will do, since the VHS original belongs to the grandparents!).

It's a good movie, and one that I think all children should see:)
