This takes place in 1800s India. Story about a young boy named Mowgli (Sabu) who was raised by wolves. One day he stumbles upon a village and is "adopted" by a kind woman whose husband was killed by a tiger. Mowgli adapts to the village and its way of life...but some people hate him.
OK this is aimed strictly at kids but adults might enjoy it too. It has absolutely jaw-dropping color photography. The colors are bright and dazzling. There's always something to look at. The story is pretty silly but you can just ignore it. They (wisely) don't have the animals talking but Mowgli can communicate with them since he was raised in the jungle. The acting is OK but this should be seen just for the color photgraphy alone. Try to see the Criterion print.
