A beautiful version of the well known book. I've seen quite a few and this is my favourite one.Jason Scott Lee is a pleasure to watch - so natural. Beautiful performance, beautiful setting, a lot of messages sent to ponder over... Perfect to watch with your young children on a Sunday afternoon.I have no idea why the rating is so low, it's worth watching as it's beautifully made.

The hype surrounding Disney's latest animated take on Rudyard Kipling's Story moved me to dig out the 1994 live-action VHS version of the tale. The Goofy movie preview probably tells us more about the take we are about to see than the studio would prefer. To put too fine a point on matters one wonders where in the jungle Mowgli found a bodybuilding gym or a martial arts Sensei.The grown Mowgli performs like a trained parrot with a fondness for kicking a certain sergeant in 'the sweets'--this is a children's show, and a smart aleck mentality. Cary Elwes plays his villain's role with malicious delight.I have decided it's about time I read the original.

I like this movie very much and still consider this one the best ! There are several movies about this book, but still this one i never get tired. Amazing the animals and the actors are doing what they should do. All in all i can recommend this one to all !! If you look at this film as the standard nowadays is then you will see it is a older movie. But that should not stop you to enjoy this movie, every time you watch !! It is in my opinion not wasted money to buy this one !! How it looks like on blue ray, in my opinion do not buy it. Buy it on DVD , some movies are not made for blue ray. I hope the new jungle book that is coming will have the same impact as this one did to me !!

Made for kids, but this movie is shot lavishly so adults could enjoy too.Mowgli gets separated from his surrogate family. He finds himself reared by animals of the forest until one day he is reunited with his surrogate family and restarts his life in civilization. He's the founder of the lost city. Now the greedy people wants Mowgli to show them the way to the city.The production of this movie is done very well, and all the details comes out right. Jason Scott Lee portrays Mowgli who's a Tarzan like character, only it happens in India. He befriends many animals who helps him in need.It's a good remake of a classic, and a good alternative to the one starring Zabu.
