The Jungle Book is a 1967 American animated film produced byWalt Disney Productions. Inspired by theRudyard Kipling'sbook of the same name, it is the 19th animated feature in theWalt Disney Animated Classicsseries. Directed byWolfgang Reitherman, it was the last to be produced byWalt Disney, who died during its production. The plot followsMowgli, aferal childraised in theIndianjungle by wolves, as his friendsBagheerathe panther andBaloothe bear try to convince him into leaving the jungle before the evil tigerShere Khanarrives.
The early versions of both the screenplay and the soundtrack followed Kipling's work more closely, with a dramatic, dark, and sinister tone which Disney did not want in his family film, leading to writerBill Peetand composerTerry Gilkysonbeing replaced. The casting employed famous actors and musiciansPhil Harris,Sebastian Cabot,George SandersandLouis Prima, as well as Disney regulars such asSterling Holloway,J. Pat O'MalleyandVerna Felton, and the director's son,Bruce Reitherman, as Mowgli.
The Jungle Book was released on October 18, 1967 to positive reception, with much acclaim to its soundtrack, featuring five songs by theSherman Brothersand one by Gilkyson, "The Bare Necessities". The film grossed over $73 million in the United States in its first release, and as much again from two re-releases
