The background animation is embarrassing, but the songs are fun.

Reviews for The Jungle Book
..an uneven episode in the Disney legacy, without much shape and substance beyond the concept of jumping from one scene to the next in order to get to the next musical number.
The Jungle Book is fun, cheerful animation; high on hummable songs and comedy; and low on scary moments.
