Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Disney has mined Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli stories twice, but it has never topped this elegant, lush classic by the British Korda brothers. Producer Alexander Korda brought director Zoltan and designer Vincent to California, where they used Hollywood's resources to create a storybook India of verdant jungles, beautiful lagoons, and modest peasant villages. Sabu plays Mowgli, the man-cub raised by wolves and schooled in the jungle who returns to civilization as a young man. When greedy villagers discover that he knows of a hidden treasure, they turn the town against him and follow him to the ruins of an ancient palace (a magnificent, crumbling temple of glowing blue stone overrun with vines and vegetation). Sabu gives a vital, energetic performance, leaping and climbing like he was born to the wild and innocent of corruption and fear that infects the village. As the treasure hunters turn on one another and resort to murder for the prize they all desire, the film gets darker and fiercer than Disney ever dared in its remakes. It's still the most glorious of all versions, a grandly realized epic vision with a sense of wonder and a magnificent fantasy landscape of deep, rich colors, like a painting come to life. Joseph Calleia plays the greedy villain with his usual conniving flair. Miklós Rósza wrote the gorgeous score. Be wary of inferior video copies: the film has fallen into the public domain and is available in a proliferation of substandard prints. --Sean Axmaker

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad stuff, Oct 21 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: The Jungle Book (DVD)
This movie is bad. Well sure its not horrible but considering the amount of movies there are containing the story of Mogley this one is the lowest. Very poor quality and bad acting.

This review is from: The Jungle Book (DVD)
i've given this DVD copy of the Jungle Book 5 stars because this is the best print i've seen of this film! (and i've seen many)
splice free, does not jump/jitter, the color is bright and clear and the sound track is quite good as well.
If your looking for a copy of this fine film your can't beat this DVD from Goodtimes! (great price too)

1.0 out of 5 stars Great oldie that desperately needs restoration, May 25 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Jungle Book (Full Screen) (DVD)
Dark, poor sound quality, quite scratchy (didn't they have a master to use?) Terribly disappointed in this, as I recall it from my youth and wanted to pass along a treasure. Instead, my 5-year-old only lasted about halfway before he asked for something else (he has great concentration and listened attentively while I read him the entire The Hobbit, so I know it wasn't a lacking on his part) Alas, the old treasure is not gold, but brass. Given the state of technology, someone could easily clean this up and make every viewer thrilled. As it is, I sadly say, pass it by, it's better remembered than seen in its present wretched state.
