Product Information

Animated film: Disney's Explorers Lodge • Disney Animation Building • Garden of the Twelve Friends • It's a Small World • Rhythm of the Jungle In the book, Kaa is one of Mowgli's close friends who rescues Mowgli from the Bandar Log, and tells him of the golden ankus, and helps fight the red dogs. In the film, he is a minor antagonist who wants to eat Mowgli.

The vultures are not present in the book, either. They were original characters who were made to resemble the Beatles. The only bird that plays an important role in the book is Chil the Kite, who is absent from the film. Following Cinderella, The Jungle Book is the second Disney film to have the most live-action adaptations made by Walt Disney Pictures with three current live-action films.In the game files for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, there exists locations for a deleted world based on The Jungle Book. However, these locations are available for exploration via cheats. Since the film's release, many of the film's characters appeared in House of Mouse, The Lion King 1½, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Aladdin and the King of Thieves, and Ralph Breaks the Internet.

King Louie is a formidable ape who desperately wants the secret of Man's deadly "red flower”–fire. He's convinced Mowgli has the information he seeks. "King Louie is huge–12 feet tall," says Christopher Walken, who voices the character. "But he's as charming as he is intimidating when he wants to be.” of This is the first Disney Animated Feature to have a non-white protagonist and has been widely praised for South Asian representation. Jungle Cubs: Arthur and Cecil • The Croc • Mahra • Ned, Jed & Fred • Mungo • Leah • Cain • Dholes • Winifred's Uncle • McCoy • Dictator Turtle • Whitehood In the book, Mowgli eats meat like his foster wolf brother. In the film, he eats fruit like Baloo and King Louie. Elements of The Jungle Book were recycled in the later Disney feature film Robin Hood due to that film's limited budget, such as Baloo being inspiration for Little John (who not only was a bear, but also voiced by Phil Harris). Many characters from the film appear in anthropomorphic form in the 1990- 1991 animated series TaleSpin. Between 1996 and 1998, the TV series Jungle Cubs told the stories of Baloo, Hathi, Bagheera, Louie, Kaa, and Shere Khan when they were children.Bagheera is a sleek panther who feels it's his duty to help the man-cub depart with dignity when it's time for him to leave his jungle home. "Bagheera is Mowgli’s adoptive parent," says Ben Kingsley, who lends his voice to Bagheera. "His role in Mowgli’s life is to educate, to protect and to guide. My Bagheera was military–he’s probably a colonel. He is instantly recognizable by the way he talks, how he acts and what his ethical code is.” of In the book, Hathi has three children, but no spouse (she is not mentioned, it is possible that he had a wife, but was not important for the book). In the film, he has only one child, Junior, a wife, Winifred, and an equal amount of male and female herd members.
