When I was growing up at home there were always animals. I am not talking about the traditional 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 live 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 when King Louie and the monkeys are in the city in ruins.
At home, we were all very excited about the release of Disney’s The Jungle Book Diamond Edition Blu-ray™ and Digital on February 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 the movie and tell them stories not only about all my exotic pets growing up but also about 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 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 without singing and dancing along to the great songs. The quality of The Jungle Book Diamond Edition Blu-ray™ and Digital is spectacular, and it also includes 2 hours of songs and a code to download an activity book.
At home, we also prepared some delicious pineapple banana jungle pancakes topped with coconut glaze.
I highly recommend getting the Disney movie The Jungle Book Diamond Edition because it’s a classic your family will enjoy for many years to come. I also want to share some printable recipes and crafts you can make with your kids.

Cuando era pequeña, en mi casa siempre había animales. No estoy hablando simplemente de mascotas tradicionales como perros y gatos. Mi casa era prácticamente 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.
