Baloo is a big bundle of love from the 1967 animated movie the Jungle book. Since he first appeared at Disneyland when his movie came out he is one of the few classic characters who have either met or performed in every single Disney park worldwide. Baloo is very energetic and a great dancer, but his big bear hugs are what really made him one of the most popular Disney characters of all time. A hug from old papa bear is simply a bare necessity!
