 Review: The Jungle Book (1994)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Taking place in late 19th-century, British-occupied India, The Jungle Book's story is uncomplicated: a human boy who has grown up in the jungle is lured back to civilization by the sight of a beautiful young woman.
Nevertheless, The Jungle Book rarely pauses to savor the scenery, moving instead with a pace that disallows opportunities for boredom.
The Jungle Book doesn't offer any thought-provoking philosophical messages, and its view of good and evil is simplistic (characters clearly fall into one category or the other), but that lack of complexity is part of its charm.

The Jungle Book is the story of Mowgli, the "man-cub" who was raised by wolves.
When he reaches boyhood, the wolves decide that Mowgli should be sent to the "man-village" where he will be safe with his people from Shere Kahn, whose return to their area of the jungle is a danger to the boy.
What follows is a sort of odyssey of trying to get Mowgli to the village against many odds, including the boy's reluctance to leave the jungle.
