The standout song goes to Harris, a rhythmic 'Bare Necessities' extolling the value of a simple life and credited to Terry Gilkyson.

Variety
3 stars out of 5 -- It's a rather British film in its approach -- in a charming and celebratory way -- and has a good story and a score by Miklos Rozsa.
Ultimate DVD
Rating: B+ --
The plot and pacing may be nearly as lazy as the sloth bear Baloo (Phil Harris), but animators use that to their advantage, developing the characters so that even minor ones seem majorly entertaining.

Written by the Sherman Brothers, the songs are catchy and make me smile every time I hear them.

Rating: 2/4 --
Here's yet another animated feature from Disney's mostly barren stretch between its two golden ages, a film that plays better in nostalgia-tinged memories than in the here-and-now.

Smple, uncluttered, straight-forward fun.

A serious disappointment, recommended only for inveterate Disney fans and very young people.
