This is part of a sponsored collaboration with Latina Mom Bloggers and Disney Studios. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
When I was growing up at home there where always animals. I am not talking about the tradtional pets like dogs or cats, mi house was practically a jungle and during my childhood we had all sorts of exotic pets from toucans and parrots to snakes and margays. So it is not surprising that my favorite movie was The Jungle Book. When I was little I would have loved to have lived in the jungle surrounded by animals just like Mowgli did. Besides that the Jungle Book is just such a fun movie. My favorite scenes are when Baloo sings The Bare Necessities and the scene of King Loui and the monkeys in the city in ruins.
At home we where all very excited about the release of Disney’s The Jungle Book Diamond Edition Blue-ray ™ and Digital on Februrary 11th! This Disney classic has been restored and is available for the first time in high definition and let me tell you it has never looked or sounded so good! For me it was truly special to sit with my kids to enjoy de movie and tell them stories not only of all of my exotic pets growing up but also of all my jungle adventures. You see I was born and have lived for most of my life in Guatemala and just a few hours away from the city you find yourself in the tropical jungle. We used to camp a lot with my parents and we would sometimes camp in natural preserves in the jungle like the Biotopo del Chocón Machacas or the Biotopo del Quetzal, once we even camped in Tikal, a Mayan city in the middle of the jungle and it was very similar to that scene with king Louie and the monkeys.
Another thing that I love about the Jungle Book is the music. It’s practically impossible to watch this movie and not sing and dance along to the great songs. The quality of theThe Jungle Book Diamond Edition Blue-ray ™ and Digital is really spectacular and additionally it includes 2 hours of songs and a code for downloading an activity book.
At home we also prepared some delicious pineapple banana jungle pancakes topped with coconut glaze. Here is the recipe so you an also enjoy them.

Caundo era pequeña en mi casa siempre habían animales. No estoy hablando simplemente de mascotas tradicionales como perros y gatos. Mi casa era practicamente una selva, durante mi infancia tuvimos toda clase de mascotas exóticas desde tucanes y guacamayas hasta culebras y tigrillos. Asi que no es de sorprenderse que mi pelicula fevorita era El Libro de La Selva. De pequeña me hubiera encantado vivir en la selva rodeada de animales como Mowgli. Además está pelicula tienen tantas escenas tan divertidas. Mis favoritas son cuando Baloo canta Bare Necesities o Necesidades Básicas y la escena en donde los monos y King Loui cantan en la ciudad en ruinas.
En casa estamos super emocionados de que haya salido la edición The Jungle Book Diamond Edition Blue-ray ™ and Digital, esta ha sido restaurada y los colores y el sonido nunca han sido mejores. Para mi fue relmente muy especial sentarme con mis hijos a disfrutar de la película y contarles anécdotas no solamente de todas las mascotas que tenía cuando era niña sino tamien de todas mis aventuras en la selva. Yo soy de Guatemala y a solo un par de horas de camino de la ciudad tenemos extensas áreas cuibiertas de selvas tropicales. Con mi familia nos encantaba ir a acampar y muchas veces fuimos a reservas naturales como el Biotopo de Chocón Machacas, El Biotopo del Quetzal o a visitar las ruinas mayas de Tikal que estan en medio de la selva, muy similar a la escena del rey Luie y los monos.
Por supuesto otra cosa que me encanta de The Jungle Book Diamond Edition Blue-ray ™ and Digital es la música. Caundo Baloo comienza a cantar no puedes evitar pararte y ponerte a bailar y cantar. La pelicula realmente tienen una calidad excelente y el sonido es espectacular, adicionalemnte incluye 2 horas de canciones y un código para descargar un libro de actividades.
En casa además preparamos un delicioso pastel de piña y banano con frosting de coco.
