        totally underrated, one of my fav films from childhood and recently seen again and baby it's still got it: magic and the jungle, a lost city with a king's treasure hidden inside, and animals that talk. i never even knew sabu was indian until i googled it last night! accept no imitations!!!

        I didn't pay attention to most of it - the parts I saw weren't bad.

        One of the best tellings of this story.

        surprisingly entertaining. the original is just as good as the follow ups. i can imagine this entertained youngsters just as much in its time as the animated 60's version that i was familiar with as a child. it's one of those stories that never get old. oh, and if there ever was a real mowgli sabu would be it. born for the role
