The Jungle Book is a classic that should not be missed! The kids had a blast being entertained by Mowgli, Baloo, and Shere Khan and all the famous songs including “Bare Necessities”, and “I Wanna Be Like You”. My husband and I also really enjoyed watching this film, almost as much as the kids. My little guy could not get enough out of all the animals in the movie and thought it was the “coolest movie to date”. That is out of the words of a 3 year old! Be sure to buy The Jungle Book today!
