Funny, I Never Saw It This Way...

When I was a young child, I watched "The Jungle Book" more times than I can possibly count.  I was completely entranced by the music and visuals over and over and over again...

Despite the claims of the above article, I cannot "disavow" this movie on those shaky grounds.  Sometimes, I wonder if maybe people aren't looking just a biiiiiiit too hard at something for the purpose of trying to find something wrong with it.

Or, maybe that is just my childhood love of the movie talking (!).
