Jungle Book


I actually take back what I said on the first day of class about Mulan being my favorite Disney movie...


Today, I re-watched The Jungle Book.  The old, yet not-so-old technology filled me with nostalgia and made me realize that The Jungle Book was one of the besties of my childhood.  Yes, it did come out in 1967, but I vividly remember watching the movie with my dad.  I specifically love how this movie switches the characters to being mostly animals and one human, whereas most Disney films are either mostly humans with sidekick animals, or all animals in general. The characters that Mowgli forges relationships with, people can relate to in real life.  
Baloo takes in the perfect form of the happy-go-lucky friend/mentor that everyone loves. Happy, playful, and always there for you. Bagheera takes on the stern, more respected guardian that will protect you with his life.  I really enjoyed re-watching this movie.  It's the bare necessities....
