Join the unforgettable Baloo, Mowgli, King Louie and Shere Khan for a musical rumble in the jungle when Disney's treasured song-filled celebration of friendship, fun and adventure, The Jungle Book, swings onto Disney DVD for the first time ever on 5th November

The perfect combination of classic songs and unforgettable characters, The Jungle Book is the last Disney film on which Walt Disney himself worked, although his tradition of magical storytelling continues today. Available for a limited time only, the digitally re-mastered DVD features some of the most memorable songs in film including the Sherman Brothers' jazzy jungle rhythm of "I Wan'na Be Like You" and the Oscar® nominated "The Bare Necessities."
Journey even further into the jungle of fun with an entire disc devoted to all-new bonus features including the making of The Jungle Book, never-before heard deleted songs and an exciting selection of games including "Baloo's Virtual Swingin' Jungle Cruise." Kids will love meeting the long lost character, Rocky the Rhino, while big kids will love "Mowgli's Return to the Jungle", in which Bruce Reitherman, the voice of Mowgli and son of director Wolfgang Reitherman, shares his memories of making the film.


Inspired by Rudyard Kipling's "Mowgli" story, The Jungle Book is a story of Mowgli, a boy who has been raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. When the wolves hear that the fierce tiger, Shere Kahn, is nearby, they decide to send Mowgli to a local "man tribe" to seek safety. Feeling very much at home in the jungle, Mowgli runs off where he meets Baloo the Bear. On his way to the village, Mowgli meets many animal characters including a crazy orang-utan and a hypnotic snake.
