    When I was a kid I was convinced Baloo and Bagheera got married at the end of the movie bc when Mowgli leaves after that girl and Bagheera says to Baloo "Well, you wouldn't marry a panther, would you?" And Baloo looks at down at him and eyebrows eyebrows and says "Well, no panther's ever asked me."

    Did anyone else ever find the girl at the end of Jungle Book scary as a kid? Like the entire movie Mowgli has a specific goal, and by the end of it he's free to have that goal and be with the people he's established he loves...and then he gets seemingly hypnotised (like Kaa!) and throws it all away

    He does it twice in the original film! Once with Kaa after the python's song and dance number, and once with Mowgli near the end of the movie. You can almost say it's a signature move of his!

    Almost like a very boring person trying to describe a dream in a way that makes it interesting. "Britney Spears was there. Yeah, and she was jumping up and down like she was trying to tell me something. And she was also Mowgli. You know, from the movie?"

    My most generous interpretation is that Serkis wanted a Mowgli style adaptation with uncanny human-animals, but nobody would fund it unless they turned it into a silly kids film for cash-grab.

    The Jungle Book was Walt Disney's final animated film and based off of Rudyard Kipling's book. It focuses on Mowgli, a boy raised by wolves in the Indian jungle now has to go back to the man-village to avoid Shere Khan the tiger, and befriends Baloo the Bear for a share of the Bare Necessities.

    Like if you were going to compare San from Princess Mononoke to any Disney character it would probably have to be Tarzan or Mowgli and even then San is still absolutely going to be the better character because her movie is MASSIVELY different from these two.

    Always a Rudyard Kipling fan, watched 2018 movie "Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle." Totally traumatized by the shocking beheading of his best friend, Bhoot, an albino wolf cub. There should have been a warning in the movie description. Generally, I don't watch horror films.

    Everyone ignores the fact when they're making things with Kaa that he's confident, but also a buffoon. So why do I mostly see stuff of him tricking and hypnotizing like 14 people at a time successfully Like if he was even 20% competent, Mowgli doesn't make it to the end of the movie lmao

    The Jungle Book is an adventure game (and one of the last released) for the #NES featuring the storyline of the original Disney movie. Playing as Mowgli, you are armed with bananas, boomerangs and other weapons. Clunky controls and all, you go through the jungle in search of the human village. 4/10

    Cons- Some moments do not resonate with audiences who either watched the original animated film or the Rudyard Kipling book. Shere Khan's reasons to kill Mowgli and his family feel forced and cliched, Kaa has minimal screen-time, two songs from the animated one feel out of place for a non-musical.

    His Mowgli movie was flawed, but you could see some potential there with his direction. Venom and Animal Farm haven't done anything to capitalize on that. Maybe HFG will be the movie to show his talents off a little more, but I'm honestly expected it to feel like Jackson shadow directed them

    I also gotta say its like the one point in the movie we see Bagheera be actively terrified. Even when Mowgli runs or something Bagheera is just a little worried Bagheera here is swinging from a massive massive pendulum from terrified for his ward and himself to being oblivious and soft.

    That is a good point. I'd attribute the affection towards it thanks to the fact that Mowgli is portrayed as a kid. It is likely that the children who watched the movie had that memory ingrained, so that once adults, they'd look back with nostalgia as well. Thus a need to re-live it.
