I saw this movie in the theater 11 times; more than any other movie. In 1967 this movie totally captivated me. I even fell in love with the little Indian girl at the end of the film. And after purchasing this DVD, I'm still crazy about it 40 years later. Some of the catchiest tunes ever, and way ahead-of-its-time animation. Everyone in the family will love this Kipling and Disney classic.

This is one of the nicest stories ever told and pictured. The animal's characters are live-like and typical. The music/songs reflect the characteristics of the animals in an adorable way and are real catchy songs.
It is amusement for the whole family.
I highly recommend this classic!

Well, yes, that's true. This is one of the great classics ever produced. I already own the original version in full frame on DVD. The reason that I gave this 4 stars is simply because they cropped the movie from top and bottom to make it widescreen. It's not true that you won't see the characters heads. Yes, you lose a little from the picture, but then so you do if you play the full frame version on a widescreen TV and you set the TV to "widezoom" instead of 16:9, because if you set the TV to 16:9 you will see everything "flat". So you need to set it to a more normal aspect ratio, which in the Sony case it's called "widezoom", Philips has the "Zoom 16:9" and "Zoom 14:9", others have other names for that setting. When you watch the movie like that, in order to fill the entire screen, you will lose from top and bottom on a full frame movie.
However, with this movie, they didn't simply just cut the movie from top and bottom. They did an entire re-working of the film, where they take it frame by frame and they cut from top and bottom where there's unimportant stuff on the screen. In other words, if you have a scene where the character is shown more on the top of the screen, and you have a rock or grass, or something else on the bottom, then they will cut only from the bottom enough so that it fits on a widescreen frame. In other scenes, they will cut accordingly, so that you won't lose essential stuff that must be seen.
Therefore, if you're trying to make a decision whether or not you should replace your original, full-frame DVD of this movie with this new widescreen version, I guess it all comes down to how much of a movie buff you are. If you really really love a classic, an original, then you will stick to the original full frame if you already have it. If you just want to own a copy of this movie, and you own a widescreen TV and you adore new technology, then I suggest that you buy this new version. They made it to fit just that profile.
Me - I already own the original full-frame DVD. I've watched it on my widescreen TV and it looks fine.
