Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book Rhythm N Groove
Fans of Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book now will be able to join Mowgli, Baloo and friends in Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book Rhythm N’Groove.
LOS ANGELES – (May 11, 2000) – Fans of Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book, one of Walt Disney Pictures’ most popular films ever, now will be able to join Mowgli, Baloo and friends in Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book Rhythm N’Groove, Ubi Soft Entertainment’s and Disney Interactive’s new videogame title available November 2000 for the PlayStation game console.
Following the original plot of the movie, Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book Rhythm N Groove takes players on a musical adventure filled with nine magical environments, amazing 3-D graphics, a multi-player option, 15 minutes of exclusive 3-D cinematic sequences, and lively music and songs including “I Wanna Be Like You” and “Bare Necessities.” The single-player mode allows gamers to take on the role of Mowgli while the multi-player mode lets them compete as either Mowgli, Baloo, King Lowie and other characters. Both modes let players dance their way through the jungle imitating the moves of other characters by following the correct beat using their game pad. Energetic music, fun gameplay and unique dance moves make Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book Rhythm N’Groove a game the whole family will want to play.
The story begins when Mowgli, a young boy raised in the jungle by wolves, is sent to live in safety at the man-village. Feeling very much at home in the jungle, Mowgli resists and runs off. Bagheera, Mowgli’s wise old panther friend, decides to follow and protect Mowgli on his journey. Much to Bagheera’s chagrin, Mowgli meets a new friend, Baloo the bear, a lovable “jungle bum” who has a happy-go-lucky philosophy of life. Together, the three attempt to travel back towards civilization, but along the way they encounter a crazy orangutan, the hypnotic and sly snake Kaa, the ever-menacing Shere Khan and much more.
“We are very excited to be bringing this classic Walt Disney story to the interactive world,” says Yves Guillemot, president, Ubi Soft Entertainment. “Walt Disney’s The Jungle Book Rhythm N’Groove is a title that the whole family can enjoy. Parents can revel in the nostalgia of the songs, while children can play a game full of adventure and music.”
