Do not buy from these people unless you are sure of the correct format. I found them online after going through the return process through Amazon; with NO RESPONSE from these people,their website said they were gpoing out of business.

I still love this movie!...
Rating (5)

I watched this movie ALL the time when I was little (I had and still have a huge crush on Jason Scott Lee) because I was always so happy to see all the adventure and the classic happy ending. This movie is great for boys and girls and should be on the shelf of any true Disney fan. It can be somewhat pricey now but it's worth it!

MOST EXCELLENT AND ALSO AVAILABLE!!!!!!!
Rating (5)
Date: 2009-03-27
This 1994 Disney movie and the much older version starring Sabu (first filmed and released to old fashioned movie theaters in 1942) are both excellent movie adaptations of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. A better version plays in my mind when I read Kipling's collection of short stories, complete with three dimensional living color and infinite point one surround sound, but there is a bit of a problem with putting it on a dvd and selling it to you. Until that problem is solved, you'll have to make do with what's currently available on dvd and a new Jungle Book movie now being made by the BBC, due out in 2010. Did I say make do? HA! Until the dvd that I recently ordered from Amazon UK arrives, I can only tell you about the Jungle Book I saw on tv. The colors were breathtakingly vibrant for standard definition tv, the sound was engaging (on my home theater system), the story was the sort of rip roaring adventure that Kipling wrote so well and not one single human or other animal decided to start singing. Yea! The animals all looked like wild animals in a jungle, which isn't always the case with jungle flicks. Well, except for the big snake. It looked more like rubber. But you don't see it for long. Ladies and gays will love seeing young, handsome, muscular Jason Scott Lee in a loin cloth as Mowgli, the jungle boy, now a man. I believe he was 27 or 28 when he made this flick, but he looks younger. Cary Elwes (main hero of Princess Bride and Robin Hood: Men in Tights, director of two episodes of Pinky and the Brain) made a wonderfully evil villain. The talented and beautiful Lena Headey (star of Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles) is Mowgli's young love interest. Multi-talented John Cleese (Basil in Faulty Towers, Nearly Headless Nick in the Harry Potter movies) makes a great slightly befuddled professor. Sam Neil(Dr Alan Grant in Jurassic Park #1 & #3) makes a very good, rather stuffy British army colonel and father. I was so impressed by what I saw on tv that I just had to order it. There were two choices for getting it on dvd: pay a rip-off price at Amazon USA or buy it for about twenty bucks from Amazon UK, counting the exchange rate and shipping. Of course, it would be a region 2 PAL dvd. No problem, I bought a JVC all region dvd player with a built in PAL to NTSC converter 5 or 6 years ago to play PAL box sets of the oldest and best sitcom in the world: Last of the Summer Wine. (Well, I did have a sort of a dvd player that kind of did the job before that, but I'd rather not talk about it. Never buy a brand name you've never heard of, especially if it sounds like a cat sneezing.) Strange as it seems to me, some people don't care for Last of the Summer Wine. No accounting for taste. There are many tv shows and movies either only available in England or cheaper there. Can you find enough of them to make buying a special player worthwhile? If so, search Amazon and/or the web for "PAL dvd player" or "code free dvd player" or 'all region dvd player". If you download the Web Of Trust and do a google search for code free dvd player sellers , you can check out the seller without even going to the website. At the website, a Better Business Bureau logo is always reassuring. Read the return policy carefully. Make sure the player you choose can convert PAL to NTSC. Some require an expensive separate converter. Buy a major brand name, not a cat sneeze brand. If that all seems like too much trouble, the cheapest used Jungle Book dvd on Amazon USA is fifty bucks counting shipping (as of 3/27/09). It's a wonderful movie but I'm not sure if it's worth that much. Then again, maybe it is. I'll add an update as soon as I've watched my PAL dvd a few times. In the meantime, why don't you check out Amazon UK to see if you can find any other good movies or tv shows that are unavailable or more expensive here. Look up your favorite actors (of either gender) at the Internet Movie DataBase, then click on "shop at Amazon" on the left near the top. The page you're taken to will list all the actor's movies available or once available on dvd, and give you links to them on Amazon and Amazon UK. I just got an email that my movie is already in the mail and on it's way to me. The Jungle Book that I saw on tv was full screen, standard resolution and in stereo, but it still impressed the heck out of me. I'll add an update to this when I've enjoyed the dvd upconverted, widescreen and in surround sound.

A Solid Version Of The Classic Story
Rating  (4)
Date: 2009-02-28
This was pretty solid adventure story with colorful backgrounds of a the country of India and jungle scenery.
Jason Scott Lee as "Mowgli" is interesting to watch in the lead. Lee is an intriguing actor. He has an Asian background, but has played an Eskimo, here in Indian and other nationalities in other films. He is one of the more diverse actors I've ever seen, yet he isn't well-known.
Cary Elwes is usually effective as a villain. He has the acting talent that makes him easy to despise! The animals are fun, too, from Mowgli's friends in the jungle to the monkeys and giant snake guarding the lost caves with the treasure.
This simply is a nicely-filmed good adventure story for everyone. It's a shame it is no longer being made available to the public.
