The Jungle Book Platinum Edition 2-disc DVD set was released today, labeled as the 40th Anniversary Edition. This was the last animated feature that Walt had his hand in.
I remember, as a kid, that on trips to Walt Disney World, we'd go to the Contemporary Resort Hotel and watch movies in their theater. I believe it was accessed by going through the cafeteria. I cannot remember what all we watched at that theater, but I'm pretty sure that "The Jungle Book" was one of them.
As an aside, singer Phil Harris, the voice of Baloo, was born in Linton, Indiana, where I have family roots. At least in later years, he'd return annually for, I think, either a golf outing or fishing event held in his name.
