celebrate the bear necessities

      Yet another Disney classic gets the Platinum treatment! Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book celebrates its 40th Anniversary with a special 2-disc Platinum Edition DVD and that means a prettier jungle, a better soundtrack and a whole lot more than the “Bare Necessities” in the extras department!
      The Jungle Book tells the story of Mowgli, a young boy who was raised by wolves from the time he was a baby. When his wolf-mother decides its time for him to head back to civilization, Mowgli runs away so he can continue to live the jungle life. He soon meets up with Baloo the bear and that is of course when the real fun begins!
      My favorite thing about Platinum Edition DVDs is the often times dramatically enhanced audio and video. The picture quality of this version of The Jungle Book is hands down the best you can find. Crystal clear with vibrant, consistent colors, it’s hard to believe the film is decades old. The Dolby Digital 5.1 remix is also a very nice addition for those with home theater systems, bringing this swinging jungle to life right in your living room.
      This Platinum Edition includes everything from the standard bonus features like interactive games, music videos, and deleted songs to exciting and sometimes rare commentaries by everyone from modern-day animators to Walt Disney himself, multiple featurettes about specific aspects of the film and its production, and a lengthy deleted scene featuring lost character Rocky the Rhino.
      Truly the only way to watch The Jungle Book in the 21st century, owning this 2-disc DVD is a no-brainer for any real Disney fan. Pick up your copy today (or see page 2 to try to win one)!
