This film looks like such a pale lackluster film when compared to Walt's last film "The Jungle Book" even though it had a lot of the same elements and actors involved.
That film is pretty lackluster when it comes to storyline, too. I mean, it hardly has a plot at all.
Also, Walt Disney's last film was
The Rescuers. He worked on it, prior to passing on.

Negative. Walt passed in 1966, The Jungle Book was released in 1967. The Rescuers was released ten years later in 1977. Walt may have wanted to begin a project that turned into The Rescuers though he never personally worked on the actual production. The Jungle Book was the last official animated feature film he personally worked on.

^Negative. That's been the general belief up until now and the one I had never questioned until last year. However, the release of "The Lost Chords: The Rescuers" stated otherwise. Walt Disney had indeed began working on The Rescuers' story development (circa 1962); he was the one who dismissed the idea of faithfully adapting Margery Sharp's 1959 novel, for he felt it wasn't convincing enough as animated feature.
You can read it for yourself on the booklet for that release. I believe it is only available as a digital download. The songs that Louis Prima composed for the film were based on Walt's proposed storyline, which had a very Jungle-Bookish/Robin Hoodish feel to it.
