Rating: 3/5 --
Heavy going for all its beauty, but still superior to Disney's own live-action adaptation with Jason Scott Lee.

Common Sense Media
Purists may worry that the film strays a little from Kipling's book, but the high production values, exotic locales and a grand sense of adventure ensure that this classic family fantasy film stands the test of time with ease.

When the animals are talking their own language and roaming their improvised jungle near Los Angeles, Jungle Book is as absorbing as a behind-the-scenes trip to the zoo. But when they converse in Kipling's English, the result is painful.

TIME Magazine
The spirit of the original is missing and the whole film despite the lavish nature of its production is unsatisfying.
Full Review
Monthly Film Bulletin
The color is strikingly vivid and some of the individual scenes have natural charm. But the film, as a whole, is ostentatious.

New York Times
As directed by Zoltan Korda, the fiction takes secondary place to the highly interesting and sometimes amazing views of jungle animals in the brilliance of colored photography.
