The Jungle Book is a 1967 animated feature film, released on October 18th. The nineteenth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon, it was the last animated feature produced by Walt Disney, who died during its production. It was based, rather loosely, on the stories about the feral child Mowgli from the book The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. The movie remains one of Disney's most popular, and contained a number of classic songs, including "Bare Necessities" and "I Wan'na Be Like You". Most of the songs are by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. The film was directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, and Mowgli was voiced by his son, Bruce Reitherman.

Plot

Mowgli is found in a basket as a baby in the deep jungles of India. In the Disney movie there is no mention of what happened to his parents or how he came to be there. Bagheera, the panther who discovers the boy, promptly takes him to a mother wolf who has just had cubs. She raises him along with her own cubs and Mowgli soon becomes well acquainted to jungle life. Mowgli is shown ten years later, visiting the wolves and getting his face licked eagerly when he arrives. That night, when the wolf tribe learns that Shere Khan, a man-eating tiger, has returned to the jungle, they realize that Mowgli must be taken to the man village, to protect him and those around him. Bagheera volunteers to escort him back. They leave that very night, but since Mowgli is determined to stay in the jungle things go a little astray. First Kaa, the hungry Indian Python, hypnotizes Mowgli into a deep and peaceful sleep and tries to eat him, but comically fails. The next morning, Mowgli tries to join the elephant patrol led by Hathi. After that Mowgli and Bagheera get in an argument and then Mowgli runs away from Bagheera.

Mowgli attacking Shere Khan (right) with a burning branch; detail of a rare clay bas-relief by John Lockwood Kipling, father of Rudyard, , 1907. ...

Mowgli soon meets up with the fun-loving bear Baloo, who shows Mowgli the fun of having a care-free life and promises not to take him to the man village. Now more than ever does Mowgli want to stay in the jungle. Before too long, Mowgli is caught by a gang of monkeys and taken to their leader, King Louie the orangutan, who makes a deal with Mowgli that if he tells him the secret of making red fire like a human, then he would make it so he could stay in the jungle. Mowgli is rescued from King Louie by Bagheera and Baloo, but soon runs away from them after Baloo realizes the man village is best for the boy and breaks his promise. After Mowgli runs away, Baloo and Bagheera split up to find him. Bagheera (along with the help of Winifred the elephant and Junior) also convinces Colonel Hathi and the other elephants to help him find Mowgli. While Bagheera convinces the pompous old elephant for help, Shere Khan listens to the conversation and discovers Mowgli is lost so he can go hunting for him. Kaa, for a second time, hypnotizes Mowgli into a deep and peaceful sleep, and tries to eat him, and fails, thanks to the intervention of Shere Khan. Mowgli escapes. Baloo is the fictional sleepy old grey bear featured in Rudyard Kiplings The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book. ...

He encounters a group of solemn vultures, who closely resemble the Beatles, and they say they'll be his friend. Shere Khan appears shortly after, but when Baloo rushes to the rescue, together they manage to get rid of the ruthless tiger. Bahgeera and Baloo take him to the edge of a man-village, but Mowgli is still hesitant to go in. His mind soon changes when a young girl from the village comes down by the riverside to fetch water. After noticing the boy, she "accidentally" drops her water pot, and Mowgli retrieves it for her and follows her into the man village.

Characters

• Mowgli, voiced by Bruce Reitherman: the main character, a young jungle boy raised by wolves. In the movie, Mowgli is featured as a 10 year old, which is around the age he was in Rudyard Kipling's book when he was first captured by the Bandar Log (monkeys). In the book, Mowgli managed to escape his parent's camp when they were attacked by Shere Khan the tiger, and he entered the wolves' den by himself. In the movie, he is found by Bagheera in a wrecked boat, perhaps after the attack of a crocodile, and Bagheera himself takes him to the wolves.
• Baloo, voiced by Phil Harris: a Sloth Bear who befriends Mowgli. He lives life according to his own rhythm. Baloo becomes Mowgli's best friend, and somewhat of a father figure to him, much to the annoyance of Bagheera who believes him to be an irresponsible and careless character. Baloo's design was obviously based on grizzly bears, even though these bears do not exist in India. In Kipling's book, Baloo is said to be a "grey bear" and was a more strict and conservative character.
• Bagheera, voiced by Sebastian Cabot: a Black Panther who first finds Mowgli, they become good friends. In the book, Bagheera spoiled Mowgli and was more of a mother figure to him, despite being male, but in the movie he is depicted as a smart, serious and often severe (though never violent) mentor that only wants to take Mowgli to safety.
• Shere Khan, voiced by George Sanders: a Bengal Tiger and the main antagonist of the movie. He is a known hater of man and seeks to kill Mowgli. Unlike the book version, the movie's Shere Khan is not crippled and is perceived as a very powerful character, feared by all other animals. He only appears in the last part of the movie, and yet he has became one of the most popular villains in Disney's history.
• Kaa, voiced by Sterling Holloway: a Python around 9 meters long, who wants to eat Mowgli. As in Kipling's book, he has great hypnotic powers; however in stark contrast to the book, he is depicted as a somewhat comic and antagonistic character and during the movie manages to hypnotize Mowgli twice and Bagheera once. He even tries to hypnotize Shere Khan, but fails.
• King Louie, voiced by Louis Prima: an Orangutan who lives in an ancient ruined temple, he gets Mowgli so he can teach him the secret of fire. He was one of the characters created for the movie, for he doesn't appear in Kipling's book. (Orangutans went extinct in India in prehistoric times).
• Colonel Hathi, voiced by J. Pat O'Malley: an Asian Elephant and leader of the elephant troop who is very pompous. A running gag in the movie is that Hathi says "elephants never forget", yet he manages to forget many things, including his own son. In the movie, Hathi seems to be a war elephant used in the Maharajah's army, who escaped to the jungle or was released. He recalls his days as a war elephant as his golden age and often talks about it, much to the annoyance of the other elephants.
• Buzzie, Ziggy, Dizzy and Flaps, voiced by J. Pat O'Malley, Digby Wolfe, Lord Tim Hudson and Chad Stuart respectively: four Vultures, tightly based on "The Beatles". They befriend Mowgli because, according to them, they all are outcasts. In the Latin American dubbing of the movie, the vultures have each a particular accent; Spanish, Mexican, Argentinian and Cuban.
• Junior, voiced by Clint Howard: the young son of Colonel Hathi who becomes friends with Mowgli.
• Winifred, voiced by Verna Felton: the wife of Colonel Hathi and the only talking female animal in the movie. She gets bored hearing her husband's "Victoria Cross bit" over and over. At one point, it is revealed that she cares a lot about Mowgli and convinces her husband to save Mowgli from being lost.
• The Elephants, many elephants that are in Col. Hathi's herd. They often get tired of the Colonel, and often tell Winifred and each other. Though they are very loyal, they don't like marching or doing missions.
• The Girl, voiced by Darleen Carr: a young Indian girl who lures Mowgli out of the jungle at the end of the movie. She was simply referred to as "The Girl" in the film's credits, but her name is revealed to be Shanti in the 2003 sequel The Jungle Book 2.
• Rama, voiced by Ben Wright: a Gray Wolf who adopts Mowgli into his family.
• Akela, voiced by John Abbott: the leader of the wolf pack.
• Flunkey, voiced by Leo De Lyon: King Louie's second-in-command.

Songs and music

Longtime Disney collaborator Terry Gilkyson was brought in to write the songs for the film. Gilkyson delivered several complete songs, but Walt Disney felt that his efforts were too dark and "too Kipling". The Sherman Brothers were brought in to do a complete rewrite, on the condition that they not read Rudyard Kipling's book. The only piece of Gilkyson's work which survived to the final film was his upbeat tune "The Bare Necessities". For the company founded by Disney, see The Walt Disney Company. ... Robert B.

Differences Between the Mowgli Stories and the Film

When the Walt Disney Company read The Jungle Book, they decided to make it a more viewer friendly film with many differences rather than a very dark story. Here are some main differences: For the company founded by Disney, see The Walt Disney Company. ... Embossed cover from the original MacMillan edition of The Jungle Book, 1894, based on art by John Lockwood Kipling (Rudyards father) For other uses, see The Jungle Book (disambiguation). ...

• In the book, it is Father Wolf and Raksha who find Mowgli, not Bagheera as seen in the film.
• In the book, Bagheera is one animal that spoiled Mowgli. His personality is changed to being more serious in the film.
• Shere Khan is portrayed as being feared by the whole jungle in the film. In the book however, he has a broken leg and everyone despises him. One thing that did stay was that Shere Khan hates man and wants to kill Mowgli.
• In the book, Shere Khan is killed by Mowgli and a herd of cattle. In the film, he does not die but runs away and tries to put out the flaming branch on his tail.
• In the film, Baloo is portrayed as a fun-loving, silly bear who cares deeply about Mowgli. In the book, he is described as the sleepy, serious bear who taught Mowgli on the Law of the Jungle. At one point in the book, Baloo wants to punish Mowgli for not focusing.
• In the book, Kaa is one of Mowgli's close friends who rescues Mowgli from the Bandar Log. In the film, he is sort of a bad guy who wants to eat Mowgli.
• In the film, Kaa hypnotizes with his eyes and nobody but Shere Khan is immune. In the book however, Kaa hypnotizes through a dance that no one but Mowgli is immune to.
• In the book, Hathi is more like king of the jungle and is extremely wise rather than in the film, where he is a pompous war elephant who often forgets things.
• In the book, Hathi has 3 children. In the film, he has only 1 child, a wife, and an equal amount of male and female herd members.
• In the film, the monkeys are ruled by a king. In the book, they kidnap Mowgli and make him their king.
• King Louie is not present in the book, just the monkeys. Louie was made for Disney's purpose.
• The Vultures are nameless in the film. They were made to resemble The Beatles. The only bird that plays an important role in the book is Chil the Kite,their leader, who is not present in the film.
• Another character not present in the film is Tabaqui the Jackal. In the book, Shere Khan has an assistant who is a stupid jackal that scavenges the wolf den.
• The Wolves play a much bigger part in the book. In the film, the wolves are only in the beginning.
• In the book, Mowgli eats meat like his wolf brethren. In the film, he eats fruit like Baloo and King Louie.
• In the book, Mowgli realizes he needs to go back to man civilization, and eventually returns to the jungle. In the film, he desires to stay in the jungle until the end of the film.
• There is no girl that lures Mowgli into the village in the book. The main women character is a woman named Messua who adopts Mowgli.
• If he were to appear in the film, Rocky is not a character in the Kipling version. There are no rhinos in the Mowgli stories.
• In the original book, there are short stories along with the Mowgli Stories. They list as follows:
  • The White Seal: a story about an albino seal who searches for a new home.
  • Rikki Tikki Tavi: a story about a mongoose who saves a family from cobras.
  • Toomai of the Elephants: a story of Toomai, a ten-year old boy who helps to tend working elephants, is told that he will never be a full-fledged elephant-handler until he has seen the elephants dance.
  • Her Majesty's Servants: a story of a British soldier eavesdrops on a conversation between the camp animals before a military parade.
  • The Miracle of Purun Bhagat: a story of An influential Indian politician abandons his worldly goods to become an ascetic holy man. Later he must save a village from a landslide with the help of the local animals.
  • The Undertakers: a story of a crocodile, a jackal and an adjutant crane, three of the most unpleasant characters on the river, spend an afternoon bickering with each other until some Englishmen arrive to settle some unfinished business with the crocodile.
  • Quiquern: a story of a young Inuit hunter and his girlfriend set out across the arctic ice on a desperate hunt for food to save their tribe from starvation, guided by the mysterious animal-spirit Quiquern. But Quiquern may not be what it seems....
