User Reviews

Entertaining show, but not my absolute favourite.

I absolutely love the first Jungle Book film, not so much the sequel. The show is very entertaining indeed, something to keep me amused in the morning. The animation is mostly lovely, with beautiful colourful backgrounds, but I have seen better animation in shows like Darkwing Duck and Talespin. The music is very nice indeed, quite catchy and well-sung. The characters are funny and charming, it was very nice to see those from the first film as children, and through them we as an audience learn powerful messages of friendship, loyalty and bravery. I did notice though that throughout their run, the animation style did change slightly. What I loved most about Jungle Cubs was the humour that will keep kids amused. A good example is in the episode when Bagheera loses his voice where Louis says something along the lines of "He is like a python, except just without the squeeze." And the voice acting, especially from Jason Marsden, was excellent. Of course the show is mainly for kids, but being 17, I was really entertained and I wish it lasted longer. 8/10 Bethany Cox
