The nostalgia hits differently whenever it comes to old Disney movies and animated features, especially if it’s on VHS tape. This particular factor alone provides these tapes with value.

This collection of animated features was released from 2000 to 2001 and began with one of our old favorites –Toy Story. Collecting nearly 27 films, the series ended with Oliver and Company after a year and 5 months. Afterward, Bagheera and Baloo take Mowgli to the edge of the Man-Village, but Mowgli is still hesitant to go there. However, his mind abruptly changes when he is smitten by a beautiful young girl from the village who is coming down by the riverside to fetch water. After noticing Mowgli, she "accidentally" drops her water pot. Mowgli retrieves it for her and follows her into the Man-Village. After Mowgli shrugs to Baloo and Bagheera, to show that he has made up his mind and chosen to go to the Man-Village, Baloo and Bagheera decide to head home, content that Mowgli is safe and happy with his own kind. For starters, Disney VHS tapes are not worthless, they do have value to some extent. They may not be worth great fortunes or millions of dollars as many would make it seem, but they certainly are worth something. Someone may just feel the need to clear out their closets, hence they give out the tapes for a giveaway price, and some even at goodwill

The score features six original songs: five by the Sherman Brothers and one by Terry Gilkyson. Longtime Disney collaborator Gilkyson was the first songwriter to bring several complete songs that followed the book closely but Walt Disney felt that his efforts were too dark. The only piece of Gilkyson's work which survived to the final film was his upbeat tune " The Bare Necessities", which was liked by the rest of the film crew. The Sherman Brothers were then brought in to do a complete rewrite. [30] Disney asked the siblings if they had read Kipling's book and they replied that they had done so "a long, long time ago" and that they had also seen the 1942 version by Alexander Korda. Disney said the "nice, mysterious, heavy stuff" from both works was not what he aimed for, instead going for a "lightness, a Disney touch". [44] Disney frequently brought the composers to the storyline sessions. [30] He asked them to "find scary places and write fun songs" for their compositions [43] that fit in with the story and advanced the plot instead of being interruptive.

Child actress Darlene Carr was going around singing in the studio when composers Sherman Brothers asked her to record a demo of " My Own Home". Carr's performance impressed Disney enough for him to cast her as the role of the human girl. [37] Many characters appear in the 1990–91 animated series TaleSpin. [94] Between 1996 and 1998, the TV series Jungle Cubs told the stories of Baloo, Hahti, Bagheera, Louie, Kaa, and Shere Khan when they were children. [95] Disney later made a live-action adaptation of the film, which was more of a realistic action- adventure film with somewhat-more adult themes. The film, released in 1994, differs even more from the book than its animated counterpart, but was still a box-office success. In 1998, Disney released a direct to video film entitled The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story. [96] A new live-action version of The Jungle Book was released by Disney in 2016, which even reused most of the songs of the animated movie, with some lyrical reworking by original composer Richard M. Sherman. [97]
