Growing up I did not have a lot of movies, but we certainly had our family collection of Disney classics. Out of all of those classics there is one movie that really sticks out to me and that is the Jungle Book. Most of the Disney movies in my day featured princesses, which is great and all, but my favorites were Aladdin, Robin Hood and the Jungle Book because the main characters were male and I could pretend to be them.
This month Disney released The Jungle Book: Diamond Edition Blu-ray. The glorious digital high definition really brings the characters to life. The Diamond edition is now sold at retailers nationwide and I would highly recommend reconnecting with Mowgli and his big teddy bear Baloo by adding this family classic to your collection.
Enjoy this Bare Necessities trailer clip from the movie below, and grab these fun The Jungle Book printable activity sheets for the kids.

My grandmother passed away when I was seven years old. Every once in a while she would send me gifts in the mail for no reason (she lived in Michigan, I lived in Florida)- one of my favorite of these was a VHS copy of “The Jungle Book”. I watched it so many times! Seeing this post brought back a lot of memories. I love you, Grandma Klemmer!

I remember seeing the original Jungle Book many, many moons ago, My grandkids have never seen this movie. I would love to get it for them as it is such a classic.

When I saw the title of this post, I immediately started humming “The Bare Necessities.” This really is a classic – I am going to have to get it for my boys.
