The Jungle Book (1967 film) [SEP] Critical reception
"The Jungle Book" received positive reviews upon release, undoubtedly influenced by a nostalgic reaction to the death of Walt Disney. The "Time" reviewer said the film strayed far from the Kipling stories, but "[n]evertheless, the result is thoroughly delightful...it is the happiest possible way to remember Walt Disney". Howard Thompson of "The New York Times" praised the film as "simple, uncluttered, straight-forward fun, as put together by the director, Wolfgang Reitherman, four screen writers and the usual small army of technicians. Using some lovely exotic pastel backgrounds and a nice clutch of tunes, the picture unfolds like an intelligent comic-strip fairy tale".
