Dove Review

“Jungle Book” is a wonderful display of jungle life and animals, and their interaction with human beings. The surrounding scenery is breathtaking and awesome.

Mowgli (played by Sabu) is a boy that was raised by a pack of wolves after being lost in the jungle. He makes his way back to the village and finds his real mother, who helps him learn how to behave in society. But he never forgets his roots and he makes a journey back to the jungle to live and to once again reside with the animals.

This is a fun adventure, filled with jungle animals and action. Due to some violence, we are awarding the film our Dove Family-Approved Seal for ages 12-plus. You will see how the animals and people live with the “bare necessities!”
