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.

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

Disney's grandniece recently cast aspersions on the picture, but I don't share her pessimism.

Film Freak Central
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.

Family Home Theater
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: 5/5 --
The period's feathery drawing style abounds, and an all-round warmth pervades.

May be one of their lesser classics, but there is a reason why it has endured for so long.
