After blowing fellow child actor, Desmond Tester, out of the water with his naturalism in stark contrast to Tester’s stage-bound acting techniques, Sabu went on to star in his two best feature films. 1940’s remake of The Thief of Bagdad’s success can’t be solely credited to him, but since so much of the film is spent with him, a good chunk of its eternal optimism, mischievous spirit, and f... read more

This Korda brothers film is the definitive version of Rudyard Kipling’s classic collection of fables. Sabu stars as Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves, who can communicate with all the beasts of the jungle, friend or foe, and who gradually reacclimates to civilization with the help of his long lost mother and a beautiful village girl. Deftly integrating real animals into its fanciful narrative, Jungle Book is a shimmering Technicolor feast, and was nominated for four Oscars, including best cinematography, art direction, special effects, and music.

"22.4. Upean värikkäässä Viidakkokirjassa on todella komeita eläinkohtauksia ja hemmetin upeita studiolavasteita. Meno on puisevaa, mutta koulutetut eläimet, värikkäät tapahtumapaikat ja hieno puvustus ovat vanhaa kunnon poikain seikkailua aidoimmillaan."

Seriously, a good way to judge whether the scene you are seeing is good or not is by the amount of blackface. If there isn't, it means that there's either Sabu or animals on screen, or in"
