Teenaged Mowgli, who was raised by wolves, appears in a village in India and is adopted by Messua. Mowgli learns human language and some human ways quickly, though keeping jungle ideas. Influential Merchant Buldeo is bigoted against 'beasts' including Mowgli; not so Buldeo's pretty daughter, whom Mowgli takes on a jungle tour where they find a treasure, setting the evil of human greed in motion. Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>
I found the film simple and enchanting. maybe its because i came across the film as a child, i cant remember, films are so over the top nowadays its a pleasure to go back to simple things although an Indian speaking perfect English is incredible! Haha There was so much more effort put into the films of those days Today everything gets run through a computer for amazing effects but fake. The jungle book actions are all real (so far as i know from what i see) They did their own stunts ;) Anyone who moans about it really is a sourpuss.
