The all-new bonus features include a new member of The Jungle Book family, the long lost character created for the original film and discovered for the first time - Rocky, a near-sighted and short tempered, but hilarious rhinoceros.

“The Bare Necessities: The Making of The Jungle Book” featurette takes a look at Walt Disney’s contributions to his animated swan song and also examines how director Woolie Reitherman filled the legend’s shoes when putting the final touches on the production. “Disney’s Kipling” examines Walt’s interpretation of the Rudyard Kipling’s “Mowgli Stories,” and a film commentary from original animators Frank Thomas, Ollie Johnston and director Woolie Reitherman is presented alongside commentary from current top animated filmmakers including Brad Bird (“The Incredibles”), Glen Keane (Disney’s “The Little Mermaid), and Andreas Deja (Disney’s “Beauty and The Beast,” and “The Lion King”).

OMG

Jungle Book was the last animated film Walt personally worked on before he died (and it came out after his death) so it looks like they're going all out for this Platinum!

The Jungle Book is my favorite Disney film, definitely getting this on day one, unless a Blu Ray release pops up.

Awesome. This will be the first classic Disney-lead film I pick up on DVD. Hopefully they don't royally screw the transfer up like it's been said they've done to Peter Pan. I should pick up Snow White for historical significance. Bambi just because.

I believe 101 Dalmations should be the next in line for this treatment - which is an automatic grab for me as well. Those 2 are huge, Jungle Book and 101. Definitely my favorite post-war films from the old crew. Give me Pinocchio and Dumbo, my favorite pre-war on platinum and I'd be set. Well, maybe a legitimate dvd on the original Winnie the Pooh shorts too - though I doubt that's at all on their radar.
