Le livre de la jungle

I have nothing to say because everything has already been said in other reviews. This is the best adaptation of Kipling, not Disney, not Soviet, not films have yet surpassed the Japanese version. This anime is serious, dramatic, harsh. The music is excellent. The main character is truthful, it is easy to empathize with him. The secondary characters are a significant advantage of this version of the jungle book. I even hope that the Japanese will agree with the Americans for a remake to improve the graphics, the anime style is just right for the jungle book, this anime has the potential to become even better than it already is. This is already the best version.

It took some time to locate the original series on IMDb. I watched few episodes recently in Hindi and wanted to get the whole series but did not know what was the original version. Then I searched with director's name viz Fumio Karakoa and found this and verified with run time. I loved the series in school days around year 1995 when it was showed dubbed in Hindi on Doordarshan at morning hours on every Sunday. With "Sindbad the Sailor" this was a favorite watch on Sunday mornings. I have read the text by Rudyard Kipling as well but I really enjoyed this version more. With the opening sound track "Jungle Jungle baat chali hai pata chala hai, chaddi pahan ke phool khila hai" written by Gulzar this show has been one of the most popular among kids. With advent of Cartoon Network we have got access to other popular cartoon series in India but for me this series holds a special place.

i love the jungle book my first experience was when i was four watching Disney's movie. i always wanted to be Mowgli. my love for the movie made me stumble upon this anime i was looking around a video store and i found this version made by Nippon animation the tape only included episodes one and two. but i instantly fell in love with the version. and collected all the videos available unfortunately the first ten episodes were only available. but being such a big fan i wondered through TV channels on sky looking for the show after a couple of years i found the show on a Chanel named Chanel east i videoed the episodes i needed but then the Chanel stopped showing them and i have never seen the whole series. after the red dogs episode. but for anyone who loves jungle book or anime this is great. i personally love it more than the Disney version. to witch the show is very different. if you find any videos buy them. overall excellent viewing David Percival aged 19 from the UK.

I bought the series on DVD. It's really good. I'm going to get my little nephews Atticus and Beau to watch.

This show first came into my life in 1990 here in Canada... yea, about 16 years ago. But as the years went by I never forgot it completely, however it's a hard-to-finder. I've got 12 of the video tapes in no particular order but I'd like to have all 52 episodes. About in the era of a decade ago... 1995-ish I discovered the next best thing which became a favorite, The Animals Of Farthing Wood, I'm probably not the only one who followed this trend if you found both shows you'd see the same eye-catching criteria between them. They had both aired before school, early in the morning so it made for a never-miss-an-episode system because there was nothing else you could be doing at that time of day and not be home for it. it worked perfectly. Anyway, I ramble a bit but if anybody finds a source to purchase The Jungle Book series in it's entirety, post something up here.
