No, it does not exist.

Ask again, and you will be booted.

Why would you want it, though?

Anyway, I'm dissapointed that this doesn't offer a fullscreen option, too; espicially with the whole ratio situation.

Oh well, hopefully they'll correct everything for the Baloo-Ray edition.

Your trying to tell us something, aren't you?

Do you mean what the scene is, or where it is?

And yeah, it was never one of my favorites either--
Mowgli always seemed the least sympathetic hero since "Sword in the Stone"'s Wart...And we can assume that Walt was just in a cranky mood when he decided to throw out the old book-related storyboards and just have the writers ad-lib short-scene comedy-character bits.

(And Frankie Fontaine aside, am I the only one wondering just what the heck a rhinoceros WAS doing in the jungles of India anyway?)

Its not one of my favorites either, but I still The Jungle Book.

Great review(s), Ben!

I still The Jungle Book too. To look at the animation frames.

Actually, while not the best Walt era 1937-1967 feature, I'd still say it was one of the better ones for sheer enjoyment.

Haha, you know I meant to write "love".

I do, "love".

BTW...

That Jungle Book boxed set is NOT a PlayUK exclusive. Anyone interested can now order it from good ol' Amazon.co.uk (actually for a penny cheaper than Play and free shipping in the UK):

I'll be picking this up and dropping my R1 discs inside.

Why look at that, it has the A-N link.

Actually, I've been curious about this for sometime, would I have to make another account in order to buy from Amazon.co.uk? It looks like it.

Most international Amazon sites can use your current account info.
