There are a few things the original disney story glazed over which this film actually enhances - such as when an old indian guide in the film explains to small Mogli what Baloo, Bagera, and Shar-Khan mean (in english Bear, Leopard, and Tiger) It is a very well made film with likeable characters and some familiar faces such as Cary Ewes (that black-masked man we all know in love in Princess Bride). For us at the time it had some scary scenes and now that I've seen it at my age (23) it still has a good element of surprise to it. I first saw this Jungle Book when I was about 5 and really enjoyed it along with my little brother. Some younger kids might not appreciate the finer points in the film (man gives a woman a flower and kisses her) but for everyone of these scenes you see a mirrored scene which a kid can also relate to. Although the animals do not speak the careful narration in the film gives you a sense they really do have personalities. This one has the perfect balance of action and suspense, comedy and romance, and not to mention really cool live animal shots and awesome scenery. I grew up a fan of the old cartoon but as I got older saw various version of this story.
