  • When I hear the smart, intricately-rhymed, Kiplingian songs that Terry Gilkyson "Marianne" originally wrote for The Jungle Book, and remember that he's the writer of "The Bare Necessities" and the "O'Malley the Alley Cat" song, I find it disappointing that Disney favored the Shermans over him for most projects.
