I had watched a few film adaptations of the Jungle Book, and some people like a few, and hate a few because they think it doesn't follow the original stories. Well, I love a few:
Films:
The Jungle Book (1942, live action),
Disney's The Jungle Book, and...
Mowgli (1967,Russian animated).
And TV specials:
The White Seal,
Mowgli's Brothers, both directed by Chuck Jones

i love this one and only this one
shareNow we can include the recent 2016 adaptation as another good one.
Adaptations to check out:
The 1942 version starring Sabu
Both Disney versions from 1967 & 2016
The live-action one from 1994
Adventures of Mowgli (Russian animated series from late 60s-early 70s)
Mowgli's Brothers by Chuck Jones (he also did Kipling's White Seal and Rikki-Tikki-Tavi)
Avoid these:
The Jungle Book 2 - another one of Disney's cheap cookie cutter sequels to their classics
Mowgli & Baloo - cheap DTV movie
Mowgli's Story - another low budget DTV "film" to avoid at all costs
As technically impressive as the live action/CGI non musical remake of 2016 was, you completely forget about it once you go back and watch this magnificent animated version which simply can never be surpassed.
