What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
  • Violence & scariness :

    The final battle between Baloo and Shere Khan is not explicit, but ends with Khan being killed and Baloo knocked unconscious. A burning branch is tied to Shere Khan's tail as he runs away. Kaa the sly snake tries to hypnotize everyone he meets, but never manages to make a meal out of anyone.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the music. What was your favorite song? What do Baloo's "Bare Necessities" song and "Hakuna Matata" from the Lion King have in common? How does Baloo's love of good music get him into trouble? Why does Bagheera worry when he finds out Baloo and Mowgli have teamed up?

    Golden Oldie

    My son loves it even though we do have to skip any scene with Kaa the snake in it, even now that our son is 4, he's scared out of his wits. Apart from that, the perfect movie for small kiddies.

    A fun classic

    Always up-beat songs, doesn't stop being funny and it's just a thrill for the family. Watch it if you haven't.
