Jungle Cat (Buena Vista) is another of Walt Disney's magnificently photographed and sometimes irritatingly edited True-Life Adventures, a series designed to show that the works of nature are almost as manifold as those of the California animator.

Mr. Mayer has attempted something so vast and fascinating that even in its failure, shadows of success can be seen intermittently dancing: cleverness shadowing forth brilliance, and excitement grandeur...
