The Jungle Book is one of Disney’s greatest classics and sadly, the last film that Walt Disney himself ever supervised. He passed away before the film’s theatrical release. I like the collection of characters The Jungle Book has, especially Baloo and Shere Khan (who are my favorites). I also love the songs (I Wanna Be Like You being the best imo) and the musical score as well. Chock full of exotic vibes and catchy beats. This film is a lot of fun overall, a timeless classic!
My kid, born 1988 loved this movie. Knew all the words to all the songs. We watched on VHS and I still have it today. He named his first kitten Shere Kahn because she had tiger stripes. Second one solid black as Bagherra. Love watching you discover the old ones. Bambi is great but can be traumatic as Bambi's mom is killed. Dumbo is VERY VERY racist but beautiful. I hope you continue on this path.
He passed away a year before the release, from lung cancer. He was a heavy smoker, though he didn't smoke in front of people, at least not in front of his staff.
I really admire the attention to detail on the animal character’s anatomy, mainly Shere Khan. When you see him move about in certain ways you can tell that the animators put a lot of heart into the character’s movements!
This and The Sword in the Stone were the chillest, kick backiest Disney movies. I watched these two a lot growing up. Always loved how relaxed they were, both in vibe and even in the scribbled, loose drawing style.
To answer your question, yes there are two species of bear in Asia that can be found in jungles. There's sun bears in places like Borneo and Malaysia, and sloth bears (like Baloo) in India. Also, King Louie was voiced by Italian jazz singer Louis Prima, who sang songs like "I Ain't Got Nobody" and "Pennies from Heaven". The latter was actually used in the movie Elf.
You can really tell they did their research on the animals for this which I really appreciate as a zoology geek. The slow glide and hoping vultures do, the slight wobble elephants do when they walk, the big cat movements as a whole are just perfect Also yes there are a surprising amount of Asian bear species (pretty sure Baloo is ment to be a sloth bear) and bagerra is a black leopard (not a species of leopard just a rare mutation they can get)
ive always been almost certain some portions are even rotoscoped. you can see it on shere khans walk away at 22:27. thats just a real fuckin tiger walking.
Rudyard Kipling wrote the 14 books of The Jungle Book before Edgar Rice Burrows wrote Tarzan. I grew up with this version, and I just love what Jon Favreau did for the 2016 "live action" version, with an all-star cast for the animals, and introducing Neel Sethi as Mowgli. you can tell that Jon really enjoyed working with Neel to get his performances.
@@vetarlittorf1807 It wasn't that bad honestly. It did things that the old version didn't do, but it lacked things the old version had. It had the action and relationships, but lacked the music and charm of each individual character. Not that the characters were bad, just kinda unoriginal.
i used to watch this exact version of the jungle book multiple times a day as a kid and i never knew til this very moment that it was from THE 60s!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAT!!
The last movie to have Walts personal touch, the girl with the water was his very last contribution before his death. The scene with Baloo and Baghera was a tribute to Walt. As if he was walking happily to heaven after doing what he loved.
I watched this growing up and this is literally one of Disney's best classics! This film has a really fun, jazzy atmosphere, awesome songs like The Bare Necessities, likable characters like Baloo, and the humor never fails to make me laugh so hard every time.
The Bare Necessities is the only remaining song that Terry Gilkyson wrote for the original concept of The Jungle Book. All the other five songs were done by the Sherman Brothers.
I’ve noticed the pacing of Disney films with this animation style (from the 60s-70s) is slower than Disney movies nowadays. Lots of quiet moments with not a lot going on, just characters being characters. I think the characters usually have enough charm to keep us engaged though. This was one of my favorites when I was a kid :) as someone who’s seen most Disney films a million times and has kinda permanent nostalgia goggles on, it’s fun to see an adult react to them for the first time.
The live actions (yes there's more than one version of this) actually go far more in depth with the relationships he has with all of the animals, the wolves, the puppies, baloo and bagheera.
I like the Disney live action version for its graphics and probably one of the best remake of a classic Disney movie…But I do love the Netflix version for its Story as well, as well as it going into more depth and showing mowgli having to become the person he’s supposed to be and finding out whether he’s supposed to be a man, or a wolf
@@SuperPrestogamer Both are great honestly.. but I prefer the Netflix one just because it's a lot more mature and is basically a coming of age story that's done really well, it also got me a few times in the feels really good. Disney's is visually stunning though, I agree.
@@shirojaki2063 definitely better because of the story and how more accurate it is to the book, plus I did cry a lot in that movie..especially at one scene in particular..(im sure you know which one I’m referring too)
@@SuperPrestogamer Neel Sethi as Mowgli Millie Davis as Shanti Bill Murray as Baloo Ben Kingsley as Begheera Christopher Walken as King Louie Scarlett Johansson as Kaa Idris Elba as Shere Khan Lupita Nyong'o as Raksha Tommy Lee Jones as Colonel Hathi Helen Mirren as Winifred Hayden Rolence as Hathi Jr Larry David as Buzzie Bradley Cooper as Dizzy Ed Helms as Flaps Jerry Seinfeld as Ziggy Jason Alexander as Lucky Billy Crystal as Ikki the Porcupine Steve Zach as Tabaqui the Jackal Aziz Ansari as Flunky Jon Favreau The Jungle Book 2
All these great actors, now a lot of them gone but making their place in our hearts. The characters, Baloo and Bagheera, they're so great. A real pair of pops. Then there's the end with that haunting (albeit outdated) song. Like love is what helped Mowgli survive and it also brought him back to his rightful place (but you're right, a lot of heartfelt hugs should have been part of that ending) All I know about the live action remake of this film was that the boy, Neel Sethi, who played Mowgli gave it all he got and was praised in India. And yes, you should watch Shark Tale, it's one of those guilty pleasure films; lots of references but Jack Black and Will Smith hold up the film.
King Louie, being an original character created for the movie (there are no orangutans in India), was voiced by Louis Prima, a very famous jazz musician of the time. Prima did enjoy his role so much that he asked Disney for a larger role in the film. Disney had originally planned to have King Louie voiced by fellow jazz singer Louis Armstrong, but foresaw the backlash of having a black man voice an ape.
Jungle Book 2 was actually theatrically released. And it's one of the few Disney sequels that is okay. Mainly because of Mowgli and Shanti's relationship.
tbh, you should totally see the "live action" version of this. Im not fond of most of Disney's live actions, they mainly made them to secure their copyrights on the stories, but i'd recommend the one they did for this in 2016!! Would be great to have someone post a reaction to it, there's basically none sadly
The Jungle Book is classic. When you mention “The Jungle Book (2016),” that’s later. There’s a live movie and it was released in 1994 from Disney studio titled “Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book” or “The Jungle Book”
I always have fun watching your reviews! You should definitely do Shark Tale since I think you'll have a good time watching it, it has so many references and background jokes I think you'll appreciate! You should definitely give Anastasia and treasure planet a watch. Definitely 2 of my favs
I grew up reading Rudyard Kipling stories. Lots of adventures about unknown lands, colonial India mostly. Other adventure authors, too, like Burroughs and London. So many of these movies started as great books.
Wish this 1967 animated Walt Disney Jungle Book was back in DVD or in blue ray back in Target or Walmart stores.. been look for this for my grandchildren to watch.. bring back childhood memories.
I heard somewhere that kinks usually start with experiences in childhood..... So y'all telling me I have a Hypnotizing Winnie the Poo Talking Snake to thank for my adult preferences😅🙄🐍
(At 6:55) Technically, he is a Leopard, not a Jaguar. Also, no one's voice is as memorable as Sterling Holloway (may he rest in peace), to voice the old Rock Python, "Kaa."
Fun Fact: There is an autobiography about Marina Chapman. She was kidnapped and left in the columbian jungle. She lived there for five years. With capuchin monkeys- very interesting to read. Also there are reports about children raised by dogs and cats. Very poor and abused children. But they survived because of animals. :D sorry for my bad english. Just wanted to left a comment :D and to say, that its not just fantasy, when it comes to stories like Tarzan or Mogli .... have an nice day!
Hi there, JV here’s the thing about the production of The Jungle Book you see, Walt Disney and his storyboard artist Bill Peet were having some terrible disagreements on the tone of the film were Walt wanted entertainment and comedy but Peet wanted some drama and suspense and Peet left the project but gave his own sketches for his version of The Jungle Book. And another thing is around UA-cam there is a UA-cam channel known as Jon Solo has some videos about Kipling’s stories and another UA-cam channel known as Ezra Weiss were he explains about Kipling’s stories compared to the British occupation of India in Kipling’s time and he was born there. Of course there might be some spoilers of other Kipling’s stories you haven’t heard of before and I suggest you should give it a read.
Hi there! I posted this already, but I figured I would post it again. Love your reactions! I have a few movie suggestions for you if you’re interested in animated films that are amazing and not “mainstream” Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks: The Last Unicorn (1982); one of my favorite films of all time. Lots of great voice talents, gorgeous hand drawn animation, and an amazing soundtrack by the band America. Cats Don’t Dance (1997); this has a lot of big voice talent and was actually worked on by the legendary Gene Kelly before his passing. It’s a period piece with a lot of pop culture references to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Quest for Camelot (1998); I love Arthurian stories so this is one of my favorites. Many bug name actors in here and a pretty great soundtrack. One of the songs “The Prayer” has nominated for multiple awards and a huge hit made famous by Celine Dion (actually singing the song in the movie) and Andrea Bocelli. Anastasia (1997); this is a fantastic movie based a tragic and horrific real life event. A lot of reactors tend to go in blind to this movie without having any context or knowledge of the history of the Romanoff family and their murder. I recommend taking some time to learn about the real Anastasia and her family. The movie is based on rumors that supposedly the Grand Duchess Anastasia survived the massacre and the hoaxes of women claiming to be her. This is of course prior to forensic evidence proving that the entire family did indeed perish. Still a great movie with a superb soundtrack. This is a Don Bluth film. Swan Princess (1994); this is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s of course based on the ballet of the same name. They added a bunch of sequels (totally unnecessary), but I recommend just watching the first one. Some may argue to watch the second one, but I’m a purist and don’t acknowledge any sequels lol. A Bunch (if not all) of the Don Bluth films: The Secret of NIMH (1982) An American Tail (1986) The Land Before Time (1988) All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) Rock-a-Doodle (1991) LOVE THIS ONE Thumbelina (1994) A Troll in Central Park (1994) The Pebble and the Penguin (1995) Titan A.E. (2000) Other Films: The Pagemaster (1994) The Princess and the Goblin (1990) I adore this movie Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (1992) Little Nemo: Adventure in Slumberland (1989) An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991) This is a direct sequel to An American Tail by Don Bluth
Yes! The Last Unicorn, The Land Before Time, Ferngully, The Swan Princess and The Secret of NIMH are my favourite non-Disney movies. We still quote these movies from time to time (wine loving skeleton anyone?)
I watched a live action Jungle Book with my grandparents when I was like 4. When I went back home, I growled at my mom for weeks 😂. I’m 22 now and they still won’t let me live that down.
A sad little trivia is that this was the last movie that Walt Disney himself was overseeing as he passed away a year before the movie's premiere, from lung cancer (he was a heavy smoker ever since the age of 13) and it became his swan song as it became a big hit. It was also a turning point for the Disney studio as without their leader, the animators and story men of Disney studio was struggling to keep the quality up as Aristocats and Robin Hood while modest hits, they weren't smash hits like The Jungle Book, Lady and the Tramp, Cinderella and Snow White. They managed to get one better success with The Rescuers but then it started go downhill with The Fox and the Hound (which was the last DIsney movie were some of the Nine Old Men like Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston before they retired, and the first with the new animators that later became the great animators of the modern era such as Glen Keane and even future Pixar director John Lassetter and Tim Burton) and even worse The Black Cauldron that had a long and diffcult production, which turned out to be a critical and commercial flop that was even beaten by The Care-Bears movie. This would eventually lead to The Disney Renaissance starting with The Little Mermaid (which even beat Don Bluth's All Dogs Go to Heaven, the ex-Disney animator managed to beat Disney earlier in the 80's with The Secret of NIHM, An American Tail adn The Land Before Time).
The life acting Jungle book is the best life Action with cruella for me:) they are just worth to see and to relax. Btw, I really like that the end credits were earlier at the beginning of the movie. that way you can at least recognize all the people who have worked on a film and read their names. apart from some films like Marvel and disney, there is hardly anyone left to watch the end credits in the cinema.
Even if George Sanders voices Shere Khan, it's Bill Lee of The Mellowmen who does his singing. He also was the singing voice Roger in One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
I'm glad you like it but a little advice: never question cartoon physics… It will make your brain explode… And not in a good way😜 As well as jungle book 2, you definitely need to see that one in that one the voice of sora plays as Mowgli. Fun fact three of the vultures were voiced by the Beatles well the bald one was voiced by an actor who voiced in other Disney animated movies Bagheera is a panther😋 Fun fact Bagheera, Baloo and Sher are Indian that translates into in the animal that they are, however Sher Khan means Tiger King
this movie is a classic; i love that now as an adult i realize how much more normal these two dads and a found family felt than the forced hetero disney movie kissy stuff did. this was always on repeat along with sword in the stone, monsters inc, and a bug's life SHARK TALE IS SO UNDERRATED! one of my favorite movies of all time; it's so funny, the cast is incredible, and the jokes actually land. the animation holds up pretty well, and no songs until the end when there's a remix of Car Wash by Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott - it's actually INCREDIBLE and so worth your time
If you do watch the live action version of this i also recommend the netflix version "Mowgli" Its a more adult and darker version more along the lines of the books tone instead of the disney version
To be honest, I don’t think you’ll ever run out of animated movies :) but of course feel free to react to both animation and live action stuff whenever u like 👍🏻
If I had to venture a guess as to why the default convention with film was beginning credits (as opposed to end credits) is twofold: 1. The earliest film had so little “credits” that they were functionally the same as title cards 2. Film as entertainment was considered an evolution of the traditional stage play, and stage plays featured pamphlets with the players and producers which an audience could browse while waiting for the show to begin
This is my favorite Disney animated movie. First saw it when I was about 2nd grade age. Sick with chicken pox. My parents liked to compare me to mogoli cuz I was close to age and being mixed race, had that tanner skin. Not to mention the songs are just something different than all other movies. My dad loved the songs also. Sherkhan scared me though for yrs. Only thing I really noticed about this film is how short n simple it is compared to most other movies.
If you listen hard, as you work your way through the Classic Disney movies, they reuse a lot of the voice actors, and I totally like it. The voice of Ka, the Snake, is played by Sterling Holloway, who was in a lot of Disney projects, my favorite being Winnie the Pooh, and the Cheshire Cat. Fun fact, the voice of Baloo was Phil Harris, a famous performer at the time. He had a hard time with the dialogue written for his character, so they allowed him to ad-lib, and some of it is in the movie. His scat singing was all him having a good time. (If I missed something, please add/correct, I’m just going from the memory of the documentary) Can’t wait to see more!
Hey JV, I wouldn’t mind reactions to some of the reimagined Disney films. 2016’s The Jungle Book, 2017’s Beauty and the Beast, even 2019’s Aladdin and The Lion King. I know there are those that shun these reimagined Disney classics, as they don’t really capture the magic of the animated originals (and I do prefer the the originals FYI) but I personally like them for what they are, and not how they compare to the OG’s.
Baloo is a sloth bear and those exsist in India. He comes from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book but his character there is a lot more sterner than his laidback, happy-go-lucky attitude in the Disney movie.
Honestly, Baloo should consider himself lucky that Shere Khan was SO PISSED that he chose to slash him to death, rather than bite him on the throat, like the tiger would have done if he had brought down Baloo in real life.
Thank u for doing this movie. I got my ex-husband to go to movies when Disney used to do re-release. Also I like a lot of the movies. I think u should do them anyway. I actually liked SharkTale with Will Smith.
Originally, the vultures at the end were going to be voiced by none other than the Beatles. There are conflicting evidence for why they turned it down, some say it was because their schedule was too full in order for them to come to America and record, while others say it was because John Lennon didn’t want to do it. However, you can tell the vultures are based off of them and you can see who was going to voice who (The brown haired one would have been John, the blonde one is Paul McCartney, the tall lanky one is George Harrison and the short bald one is Ringo Starr).
You will love the live action. Jon Favreau produced it and he did an amazing job. There’s also Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle and that one was also good.
My favorite animated non Disney movie is Balto (1995). I also read comment that listed many good non Disney animated movies from that list are: Quest for Camelot (1998), Anastasia (1997), The Land Before Time (1988), All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), Titan A.E. (2000). If you are going to live transfer into love action movies there are many good Disney action movies that are based around dogs: White Fang (1991), Iron Will (1995), Homeward bound: The Incredible Journey (1993), Homeward bound 2: Lost in San Francisco, and Togo (2019).
I’m so late to this video. King Louis is old an old jazz/swing artist crooner Louis Prima.. he’s big with us Italian Americans. He even has some popular/viral sounds on Tik Tok. You’d know him if you heard him. He’s had songs featured in Elf (Pennies from Heaven) and a few rom coms.

Love watching you discover the old ones. Bambi is great but can be traumatic as Bambi's mom is killed. Dumbo is VERY VERY racist but beautiful. I hope you continue on this path.
Well one of two films.

This was Walt Disney's final animated film before Lung Cancer finally did him in. But what a movie to go out on!
Fun fact:
Did you know the vultures are based on ‘The Beatles’! 😊
yep
King Louis wants fire, because whoever has fire has the ultimate power. Not even Shere Khan would mess with him if he had fire at his disposal.
I love this era of Disney movies. They’re movies I was obsessed with when I was very little so; they give me all the warm and cozy feels.

Jungle book is an underrated gem
The tiger's name is Shere Khan, "Shere" roughly translates to tiger in Hindi.
And"Khan"means"King"(more or less).
I read his name means " King of tigers "
There’s a jungle book 2 that was released only on dvd and I always loved growing up
Jungle Book 2 was actually theatrically released. And it's one of the few Disney sequels that is okay. Mainly because of Mowgli and Shanti's relationship.
@@vetarlittorf1807 bro the jungle book 2 didn't even have king Louie. Instant trash movie.
Baloo is a sloth bear, a species that lives in India. But in the live action remake he looks like a grizzly.
Best music of all the Disney movies and great voice cast. Especially Shere Khan!
It reacts to the chronicles of Narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe.

I heard somewhere that kinks usually start with experiences in childhood.....
So y'all telling me I have a Hypnotizing Winnie the Poo Talking Snake to thank for my adult preferences😅🙄🐍
Live action King Luis is one of the creepiest moments of the movie, and I say it as a positive thing. Christopher Walken was great
It's King Louie
(At 6:55) Technically, he is a Leopard, not a Jaguar. Also, no one's voice is as memorable as Sterling Holloway (may he rest in peace), to voice the old Rock Python, "Kaa."
Kaa the python isn't the only animal Sterling voiced he also voiced a loving bear named Winnie the pooh
@@marlonclark1896 and the mouse, "Roquefort" from The Aristocats, and the stork from Dumbo, and also the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.
@@Samgreen90 oh ok didn't know any of that thanks
@@marlonclark1896 your welcome
Disney also did a live action version of the Jungle Book in 1994 that is pretty good.
This is my favorite movie. I hope you see Jungle book live action very soon:):)
Fun Fact: There is an autobiography about Marina Chapman. She was kidnapped and left in the columbian jungle. She lived there for five years. With capuchin monkeys- very interesting to read. Also there are reports about children raised by dogs and cats. Very poor and abused children. But they survived because of animals. :D sorry for my bad english. Just wanted to left a comment :D and to say, that its not just fantasy, when it comes to stories like Tarzan or Mogli .... have an nice day!
This movie brings a lot of nostalgia, we love your video reactions!!!
One of my favorites as a kid, and I enjoyed the live action remake as unlike other Disney remakes, it's actually different from the original movie
Shark tails is a amazing movie and you'll be laughing through the whole movie
Hi there, JV here’s the thing about the production of The Jungle Book you see, Walt Disney and his storyboard artist Bill Peet were having some terrible disagreements on the tone of the film were Walt wanted entertainment and comedy but Peet wanted some drama and suspense and Peet left the project but gave his own sketches for his version of The Jungle Book. And another thing is around UA-cam there is a UA-cam channel known as Jon Solo has some videos about Kipling’s stories and another UA-cam channel known as Ezra Weiss were he explains about Kipling’s stories compared to the British occupation of India in Kipling’s time and he was born there. Of course there might be some spoilers of other Kipling’s stories you haven’t heard of before and I suggest you should give it a read.
I used to be a bit scared of the girl at the end as a kid; I thought she was luring him to hurt him and it was similarly to Kaa’s hypnosis
Hi there! I posted this already, but I figured I would post it again. Love your reactions! I have a few movie suggestions for you if you’re interested in animated films that are amazing and not “mainstream” Disney/Pixar/Dreamworks: The Last Unicorn (1982); one of my favorite films of all time. Lots of great voice talents, gorgeous hand drawn animation, and an amazing soundtrack by the band America. Cats Don’t Dance (1997); this has a lot of big voice talent and was actually worked on by the legendary Gene Kelly before his passing. It’s a period piece with a lot of pop culture references to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Quest for Camelot (1998); I love Arthurian stories so this is one of my favorites. Many bug name actors in here and a pretty great soundtrack. One of the songs “The Prayer” has nominated for multiple awards and a huge hit made famous by Celine Dion (actually singing the song in the movie) and Andrea Bocelli. Anastasia (1997); this is a fantastic movie based a tragic and horrific real life event. A lot of reactors tend to go in blind to this movie without having any context or knowledge of the history of the Romanoff family and their murder. I recommend taking some time to learn about the real Anastasia and her family. The movie is based on rumors that supposedly the Grand Duchess Anastasia survived the massacre and the hoaxes of women claiming to be her. This is of course prior to forensic evidence proving that the entire family did indeed perish. Still a great movie with a superb soundtrack. This is a Don Bluth film. Swan Princess (1994); this is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s of course based on the ballet of the same name. They added a bunch of sequels (totally unnecessary), but I recommend just watching the first one. Some may argue to watch the second one, but I’m a purist and don’t acknowledge any sequels lol. A Bunch (if not all) of the Don Bluth films: The Secret of NIMH (1982) An American Tail (1986) The Land Before Time (1988) All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989) Rock-a-Doodle (1991) LOVE THIS ONE Thumbelina (1994) A Troll in Central Park (1994) The Pebble and the Penguin (1995) Titan A.E. (2000) Other Films: The Pagemaster (1994) The Princess and the Goblin (1990) I adore this movie Ferngully: The Last Rainforest (1992) Little Nemo: Adventure in Slumberland (1989) An American Tail: Fievel Goes West (1991) This is a direct sequel to An American Tail by Don Bluth
Yes! The Last Unicorn, The Land Before Time, Ferngully, The Swan Princess and The Secret of NIMH are my favourite non-Disney movies.
We still quote these movies from time to time (wine loving skeleton anyone?)
I watched a live action Jungle Book with my grandparents when I was like 4. When I went back home, I growled at my mom for weeks 😂. I’m 22 now and they still won’t let me live that down.
Really it was Star Wars that put the credit at the end pissing off the guilds at the time.
A sad little trivia is that this was the last movie that Walt Disney himself was overseeing as he passed away a year before the movie's premiere, from lung cancer (he was a heavy smoker ever since the age of 13) and it became his swan song as it became a big hit. It was also a turning point for the Disney studio as without their leader, the animators and story men of Disney studio was struggling to keep the quality up as Aristocats and Robin Hood while modest hits, they weren't smash hits like The Jungle Book, Lady and the Tramp, Cinderella and Snow White. They managed to get one better success with The Rescuers but then it started go downhill with The Fox and the Hound (which was the last DIsney movie were some of the Nine Old Men like Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston before they retired, and the first with the new animators that later became the great animators of the modern era such as Glen Keane and even future Pixar director John Lassetter and Tim Burton) and even worse The Black Cauldron that had a long and diffcult production, which turned out to be a critical and commercial flop that was even beaten by The Care-Bears movie. This would eventually lead to The Disney Renaissance starting with The Little Mermaid (which even beat Don Bluth's All Dogs Go to Heaven, the ex-Disney animator managed to beat Disney earlier in the 80's with The Secret of NIHM, An American Tail adn The Land Before Time).
I love these old movies, they were my childhood. Gotta see them all man
The life acting Jungle book is the best life Action with cruella for me:) they are just worth to see and to relax.
Btw, I really like that the end credits were earlier at the beginning of the movie. that way you can at least recognize all the people who have worked on a film and read their names. apart from some films like Marvel and disney, there is hardly anyone left to watch the end credits in the cinema.
True! I usually stay for end credits especially with example, Marvel’s hidden Easter egg scenes, always wait for those
Please do some Don Bluth movies such as:
The land before Time
An American Tale
Shark Tale is an absolute awesome movie, totally something you would appreciate. I can’t believe it got bad reviews!
A good old movie that's a must watch is Oliver and company
The live action Jungle Book is my FAVORITE of the classic reboots. I'd also love to see you react to Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Even if George Sanders voices Shere Khan, it's Bill Lee of The Mellowmen who does his singing. He also was the singing voice Roger in One Hundred and One Dalmatians.
Sonic: You're too slow! 14:41
I would LOVE for you to react to all the live-action versions!
This is one of my favourite movies ever
Hunter Jareno Gooese: a human child befriending a sloth bear? Now I see everything at 11:20
Yes please to Monty Python movies! Best combo of nonsense silly humour and really clever wordy humour
You should also see Lady and the Tramp and Bambi. The originals. Can’t wait for you to see those. :)
I'm glad you like it but a little advice: never question cartoon physics… It will make your brain explode… And not in a good way😜
As well as jungle book 2, you definitely need to see that one in that one the voice of sora plays as Mowgli.
Fun fact three of the vultures were voiced by the Beatles well the bald one was voiced by an actor who voiced in other Disney animated movies
Bagheera is a panther😋 Fun fact Bagheera, Baloo and Sher are Indian that translates into in the animal that they are, however Sher Khan means Tiger King
this movie is a classic; i love that now as an adult i realize how much more normal these two dads and a found family felt than the forced hetero disney movie kissy stuff did. this was always on repeat along with sword in the stone, monsters inc, and a bug's life
SHARK TALE IS SO UNDERRATED! one of my favorite movies of all time; it's so funny, the cast is incredible, and the jokes actually land. the animation holds up pretty well, and no songs until the end when there's a remix of Car Wash by Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott - it's actually INCREDIBLE and so worth your time
If you do watch the live action version of this i also recommend the netflix version "Mowgli" Its a more adult and darker version more along the lines of the books tone instead of the disney version
(At 15:40) also when Walt Disney was still alive, who the HELL'S idea was there to put an orangutan in in a cartoon based off Rudyard Kipley's book?
i would love your reaction to the live action version! i think it's one of the better live action remake films from disney.
To be honest, I don’t think you’ll ever run out of animated movies :) but of course feel free to react to both animation and live action stuff whenever u like 👍🏻
this did made me cry as a kid 32:00
Poor Mowgli he loves Baloo like a dad he never had
Yeah, King Louie was voiced by Louis Prima, who was a jazz musician.
Life of Pi is one of My favorite movies! Saw it in the Cinema theater
If I had to venture a guess as to why the default convention with film was beginning credits (as opposed to end credits) is twofold:
1. The earliest film had so little “credits” that they were functionally the same as title cards
2. Film as entertainment was considered an evolution of the traditional stage play, and stage plays featured pamphlets with the players and producers which an audience could browse while waiting for the show to begin
Also, printings for reference-
The Jungle Book (1894)
Tarzan of the Apes (1912)
@5:12
THANK YOU! I love this movie, but that ALWAYS bothered me, and one of MANY reasons why I love the remake more.
This is my favorite Disney animated movie. First saw it when I was about 2nd grade age. Sick with chicken pox. My parents liked to compare me to mogoli cuz I was close to age and being mixed race, had that tanner skin. Not to mention the songs are just something different than all other movies. My dad loved the songs also.
Sherkhan scared me though for yrs.
Only thing I really noticed about this film is how short n simple it is compared to most other movies.
I would love to see the reaction to the live-action Jungle Book
If you listen hard, as you work your way through the Classic Disney movies, they reuse a lot of the voice actors, and I totally like it. The voice of Ka, the Snake, is played by Sterling Holloway, who was in a lot of Disney projects, my favorite being Winnie the Pooh, and the Cheshire Cat.
Fun fact, the voice of Baloo was Phil Harris, a famous performer at the time. He had a hard time with the dialogue written for his character, so they allowed him to ad-lib, and some of it is in the movie. His scat singing was all him having a good time. (If I missed something, please add/correct, I’m just going from the memory of the documentary)
Can’t wait to see more!
One of ny favourites aswell! Love your raw reactions. And your kids are so precious 🥰 please react to anastasia! The story line is amazing.
Hey JV, I wouldn’t mind reactions to some of the reimagined Disney films. 2016’s The Jungle Book, 2017’s Beauty and the Beast, even 2019’s Aladdin and The Lion King. I know there are those that shun these reimagined Disney classics, as they don’t really capture the magic of the animated originals (and I do prefer the the originals FYI) but I personally like them for what they are, and not how they compare to the OG’s.
Baloo is a sloth bear and those exsist in India. He comes from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book but his character there is a lot more sterner than his laidback, happy-go-lucky attitude in the Disney movie.
There is actually a non-Disney non-musical movie The Jungle Book from 1942 that is worth watching.
Honestly, Baloo should consider himself lucky that Shere Khan was SO PISSED that he chose to slash him to death, rather than bite him on the throat, like the tiger would have done if he had brought down Baloo in real life.
Thank u for doing this movie. I got my ex-husband to go to movies when Disney used to do re-release. Also I like a lot of the movies. I think u should do them anyway. I actually liked SharkTale with Will Smith.
The First Disney I saw as a child in a drive in in a rerelease
11:16 Yup, sloth bears. And Baloo happens to be one.
You should definitely watch Bambi, also I don't know if it's Disney but you should put Ferngully on your list
Originally, the vultures at the end were going to be voiced by none other than the Beatles. There are conflicting evidence for why they turned it down, some say it was because their schedule was too full in order for them to come to America and record, while others say it was because John Lennon didn’t want to do it. However, you can tell the vultures are based off of them and you can see who was going to voice who (The brown haired one would have been John, the blonde one is Paul McCartney, the tall lanky one is George Harrison and the short bald one is Ringo Starr).
Happy to see someone reaction to the jungle book : )
You will love the live action. Jon Favreau produced it and he did an amazing job. There’s also Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle and that one was also good.
Wheres the Galactic in JV's Galactic Adventures? might be time for a name change
My favorite animated non Disney movie is Balto (1995). I also read comment that listed many good non Disney animated movies from that list are: Quest for Camelot (1998), Anastasia (1997), The Land Before Time (1988), All Dogs Go to Heaven (1989), Titan A.E. (2000). If you are going to live transfer into love action movies there are many good Disney action movies that are based around dogs: White Fang (1991), Iron Will (1995), Homeward bound: The Incredible Journey (1993), Homeward bound 2: Lost in San Francisco, and Togo (2019).
George Sanders was the perfect Shere Kahn also shoutout to Sterling Holloway as Kaa
I’m so late to this video. King Louis is old an old jazz/swing artist crooner Louis Prima.. he’s big with us Italian Americans. He even has some popular/viral sounds on Tik Tok. You’d know him if you heard him. He’s had songs featured in Elf (Pennies from Heaven) and a few rom coms.
Definitely watch Aladdin and Cinderella they are pretty good.
I would highly suggest Shark Tale. Rotten Tomatoes can suck it for having such a low rating on such a good movie
If you listen closely you can catch some "That's what she said" moments.
Please watch jungle book 2 🥰
Awesome reaction as always!
Fun Fact:
The voice actor who played kaa, who’s also voiced Winnie the pooh
