7 Things You Might Not Know About "The Jungle Book"

There is something so incredibly special about sharing a favorite film from your childhood with your children, and it's even more special when your kids really and truly enjoy the movie as much as you did when you were their age. This wonderful phenomenon happened just last week for me when our family watched the Walt Disney classic The Jungle Book, which has just been released as a Diamond Edition Blu-Ray combo pack. I remember adoring the adventures of Mowgli and his pals when I was little, singing along with "I Wanna Be Like You" and "Bare Necessities." My daughter is having just as much fun with the film, humming and dancing along. It looks like appreciation of great animation runs in the family, and now, as an adult, I wanted to know more about this 46-year-old film, a classic that has really delighted generations. Don't you? Check out these 7 things you probably didn't know about The Jungle Book. -By Sunny Chanel
