The Jungle Book (1967)
Movie
Released
Jon Favreau's 2016 remake makes the forest and its dangers impressively tangible around its live-action Mowgli. The 1967 animation is the version I favour for loose musical companionship and the different bodily rhythms of Baloo and Bagheera. The relaxed structure is a preference rather than a superior realism, and both versions' inherited colonial framing merits attention.

About The Jungle Book
The boy Mowgli makes his way to the man-village with Bagheera, the wise panther. Along the way he meets jazzy King Louie, the hypnotic snake Kaa and the lovable, happy-go-lucky bear Baloo, who teaches Mowgli "The Bare Necessities" of life and the true meaning of friendship.
