The Jungle Book (1967)

Boy-cub Mowgli is befriended by Baloo, a lazy bear, in this classic Disney animated feature, loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's stories.

The character voices are superb and very effective, while some jazzy tunes (including The Bare Necessities) ensure easy-going fun all round.

This was the last cartoon feature supervised by Walt Disney himself. The Disney organisation released a live-action follow-up in 1994.
