Disney Music: The Jungle Book

        


I love Ken Anderson, I love the Jungle Book, and I love the Sherman Brothers. So for me, the Jungle Book Soundtrack is a dream come true, and when I found out that there were songs released after the initial soundtrack, I was ecstatic.
 
After the release of the Jungle Book Soundtrack, there was a huge demand for more songs. So Walt called in the Sherman Brothers and told them to write songs that sounded like they could've been from the original movie. And when they did, this was their result:
