The Jungle Book Movie 1942 Part 1 of 11

Jungle Book, aka Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, is an American color 1942 action/adventure film based on the Rudyard Kipling novel, The Jungle Book.

I'll show you the mysteries--the wonders of the jungle's savage heart!

Teenager Mowgli, who was raised by wolves, appears in a village in India and is adopted by Messua. Mowgli learns human language and some human ways quickly, though keeping jungle ideas.

Influential Merchant Buldeo is bigoted against 'beasts' including Mowgli; not so Buldeo's pretty daughter, whom Mowgli takes on a jungle tour where they find a treasure, setting the evil of human greed in motion.

Nominated for 4 Academy Awards, including Best Art Direction-Interior Decoration, Color for the director's brother, Vincent Korda and creative partner Julia Heron.

The most epic interpretation of all.

Wow thank you for that info. I loved this movie as a child and this adds even more depth to it :)

[I White]

It's much better in my view, even though I typically don't connect with older movies (often bad acting). 

[I White]

Thank you so much for removing the racist comments. I feel both sorry for and disgusted by racists, they are missing out on so many fascinating individuals, cultures and experiences that would otherwise enrich their lives. One of my favourite things about growing up in England was the cultural variation, and miss it where I live in Canada.

Sabu is so good-looking. Him and Christopher Reeve (as superman) were my first crushes, when I was age 6 or so :D

[serberious]
