The Jungle Book poster

Movies that feel likeThe Jungle Book (1967)

The boy Mowgli makes his way to the man-village with Bagheera, the wise panther. Along the way he meets jazzy King Louie, the hypnotic snake Kaa and the lovable, happy-go-lucky bear Baloo, who teaches Mowgli "The Bare Necessities" of life and the true meaning of friendship.

If you loved The Jungle Book, the closest films we have are Robin Hood (1973), The Rescuers (1977) and The Sword in the Stone (1963). All three share The Jungle Book's warm and cozy feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Boy & the World (2014).

Robin Hood poster
Robin Hood
1973 · dir. Wolfgang Reitherman
🍅 56%★ 7.5animation · family · adventureDisney+

Wolfgang Reitherman working the same nerve twice

The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

With King Richard off to the Crusades, Prince John and his slithering minion, Sir Hiss, set about taxing Nottingham's citizens with support from the corrupt sheriff - and staunch opposition by the wily Robin Hood and his band of merry men.

The Rescuers poster

Both are Wolfgang Reitherman's work, and they rhyme

The difference: Trades the wistfulness of The Jungle Book for an angle of its own

The same preoccupation in both: villain

The difference: Easier on the scale than The Jungle Book

Wart is a young boy who aspires to be a knight's squire. On a hunting trip he falls in on Merlin, a powerful but amnesiac wizard who has plans for him beyond mere squiredom. He starts by trying to give him an education, believing that once one has an education, one can go anywhere. Needless to say, it doesn't quite work out that way.

The Aristocats poster

One thread runs through both: villain

The difference: Leans harder into comedy than The Jungle Book does

When Madame Adelaide Bonfamille leaves her fortune to Duchess and her children—Bonfamille’s beloved family of cats—the butler plots to steal the money and kidnaps the legatees, leaving them out on a country road. All seems lost until the wily Thomas O’Malley Cat and his jazz-playing alley cats come to the aristocats’ rescue.
