A jazzy movie with lovable characters and hilarious songs, this movie should be watched more often by young ones everywhere. Shere Khans a little freaky as is the snake, but surely something kids these days will cope with.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Jungle Book (animated)
Parents need to know that this Disney classic has positive messages for kids about friendship and finding family in unexpected places. There are some scary and/or upsetting scenes, such as the final battle between Baloo (a bear) and Shere Khan (a tiger), but there's also lots of humor and catchy songs.

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?

2 year old enjoyed it - Will hold off on watching again
It was good. My daughter who is 2 liked it but here are a few of my concerns... • through out the movie they talk about Shere Khan (tiger) wanting to kill the boy - a little upsetting • the snake Kaa is freaky • the last fighting scene is somewhat violent

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.

Good Movie!
My son loves animals. So when they put this out I went and got it for him. As most 4 year olds are he has a hard time sitting through the whole thing but for most of it. He really enjoys it. If you have a child who loves animals, this is a good movie for them.
