Mowgli is a really underrated protagonist. He's not only sympathetic, but he is more complex than people give him credit for. He spent his whole life knowing that he is human, but never knowing what a human is. Which is why he suffers from an identity crisis that compels him to imitate the animals he comes across in hopes of finding an identity. And we understand why he's so stubborn and rebellious; it's the frustration and insecurity that comes from being so out of place, never knowing why and never knowing why he can't solve it. This is the most important reason why he had to go to the Man Village. Humans, by nature, can only be properly nurtured by mankind itself.
True. In France, where I live, a real Mowgli existed centuries ago, known as " Victor de l'Aveyron ". He was captured when he was around 12 years old and a doctor decided to take him in his home and see if he could be rehabilitated. Apparently, it was a success but the young boy never managed to talk except making some sounds. There's a movie about him " L'enfant sauvage " (The wild child in english)
This film is actually the most successful film of all time here in Germany. Over 27 million people have seen it here. Around 83 million people currently live in Germany. So around one in three people saw the film in the cinema.
FUN FACTS: This was the last Animated Movie that Walt Disney worked on before his passing. The Vultures were based on and were originally going to be voiced by The Beatles. Unfortunately that never happened.
They also originally had a character named Rocky the Rhino, and the song “That’s What Friends Are For” was originally going to be a Beatles-like rock song
Heh. I remember reading about this info. Hell, I remember how John Lennon’s response to being asked to voice one of the vultures was reportedly for him to condescendingly mutter ‘Why don’t you ask Elvis?’
It was looooooooooooooooooooooooong before Tarzan see this was like a decade before the renaissance back in the silver age Tarzan was 1999 like in the 90’s the era where there was like The Lion King,and Aladdin,and Beauty and the Beast and all that stuff dis was more than a decade before that back in 1967 back in that era in the 60,s where there was like The Sword in the Stone and stuff like long before than
I got so depressed when I heard that Richard Sherman passed away on the 25th. He and his brother Robert gave us so many memories with their songs. Now they're together at the piano playing for Walt once more.
yes, it hurts, but rest in peace Richard Sherman :"( And as you said, now they will be together playing the piano for Walt, they were a good trio, I think.
It touches me that Baloo barely met Mowgli, he became attached and already wanted to take care of him, how sweet! 23:02 jaja I laughed when you said it and I also think so, I like when I see similar moments mixed
Man the timing on this reaction was perfect. My grandmother is doing a children’s theater this summer on the Jungle Book so imagine my surprise when I see this on the day I was helping to get the costumes and props. The world works in mysterious ways.
Wrong. People always get these guys mixed up. Winnie the Pooh is voiced by Jim Cummings. Okay, so Sterling did some work with Jim in the Many Adventures, but the point is he's not who you think of when you think Pooh Bear. Jim Cummings is.
6:38 Bagheera says that the rains have come and gone ten times. He's talking about the yearly monsoons in India. So Mowgli is actually more like ten years old.
I really enjoy 1967’s The Jungle Book! No matter how many times I rewatch it, it’s always a fun watch for me, from the characters (my favorites include Baloo and Shere Khan) to the memorable songs (“I Wanna Be Like You,” also my fave). Truly a timeless Disney classic.
I always love Walt Disney's The Jungle Book as one the best animated film even though it does not follow the original novel, my favorite characters easily Baloo and Bagheera as Disney's best duo.
Ah, The Jungle Book, one of many movies from my childhood, I loved it a lot when I watched it on TV, I'm glad you were able to see this beautiful movie too❤
Interestingly enough full phrase is: birds of a feather flock together until the cats come. Which makes me wonder if Bagheera actually had a point after all.
I have a black cat that I named him Bagheera after my fav character from the Jungle book because to me, he just looked like a black panther. He really is the most friendly, chilled, super easy going, sweetest and most cuddliest and mushiest cat who is a bit of a trill seeker and is quite the Mama’s boy. Whenever I pick up him and snuggle with him or just immediately purrs super loud and it always makes my day brighter and his loud purring is like music to my ears. 😊😊
Mr. Black Panther Jaguar: Unlike that Panther I am more than that I take my revenge on them on what day did my own kind and I wanted to marry young 18 old teenage girl in marriage
My dad used to make up his own version of Colonel Hathi’s March when I was little. He and I would sing and march in a line just like the elephants and Mowgli did and we’d laugh every time. 🐘🐘🐘
Fun facts: - Mowgli is played by Bruce Reitherman, who is the son of the director Wolfgang Reitherman. - Phil Harris, Baloo’s voice actor also played in other Disney classics like O’Malley from The Aristocats and Little John from Robin Hood. - Rock band The Beatles were supposed to play the vultures. - The Vultures song “That’s What Friends Are For” was supposed to be a rock song. - The vultures have names; Buzzy, Dizzy, Flaps & Ziggy. Edit: Another fun fact; Shere Khan is a beta version of Scar
This was the very last movie that Walt Disney himself made, before his passing. Also, the vultures song, it originally was planned to be some kind of weird.....I don't know what to call it, but something bad weird, but it was Walt Disney's idea to turn it into a quartet.
The parts were originally written for The Beatles and with a song in their style, but Walt thought they were just a fad and putting them in would date the movie, that's why they went in a different direction (though the inspiration is still obvious in their final characterizations)
This is the last movie Walt Disney himself was producing and was involved in before he passed away December 15 1966 from lung cancer, one year before the movie hit the cinemas.
Shere Khan has so little screen time, yet he's got such a great presence as a villain. While it's one of the Disney sequels and not fantastic, "Jungle Book 2"had a pretty good replacement voice for Shere Khan in Tony Jay(who also played Megabyte in "Reboot"and Frollo in "Hunchback of Notre Dame".)
If you didn't know, but there is a prequel animated series, where all the characters, Baloo, Louie, Bagheera, Hathi, Kaa, Akella and Shere Khan, were not only shown as children, but even in principle were friends, and it is much sadder to realize who all these characters will become and that, well, it was the appearance of Mowgli in their lives that quarreled and separated them from each other. And also a full-length sequel, in which, in fact, Mowgli's life among humans was shown. I would like the next reaction to it, so as not to lose the thread of the plot.
Old...! Disney movies were just pure in my opinion they were beautiful they were just right for kids, and we all didn't think about anything we just enjoyed a good movie
Hey, Tim! I watched this movie growing up and thought it was okay. Never could make it to the end, but I love Bagheeras' design! Baloo is a sloth bear, and sloth bears are much, MUCH worse than tigers. The voice of Shere Khan was also the first Mr. Freeze in the 1960s Batman TV show; one of the last roles he did before he died. Kaa has the same VA as Pooh Bear, and he still does! Jim Cummings plays Pooh, Tigger, and Kaa in subsequent projects now
23:49, incidentally, that was a reference to the book. Baloo warned Mowgli not to frolic with the Bandar-log (the monkeys). Mowgli ignored the warning and got kidnapped for his trouble so Baloo and Bagheera rescued Mowgli and Mowgli evaded the monkeys who hunted them down to kill him by getting Kaa to eat them. Baloo is reluctant to discipline Mowgli for his mistake since he knows Mowgli feels sorry for it and Bagheera reminds him that the Law of the Jungle says that “sorrow can never stay punishment.)
So about the disclaimer at the beginning: Walt Disney originally wanted to cast Louie Armstrong (a famous singer and jazz musician at the time) as King Louie, but his team were concerned that people would find it racist to have an African American play an ape. Walt reconsidered and decided on Italian American jazz singer/musician Louis Prima instead. Despite this, some people still see King Louie as an offensive black stereotype.
Baloo’s mauling at the paws of Shere Khan may have been brutal, but, really, the bear was fortunate that Khan decided to dish that out on him. If Shere Khan had killed him like a real tiger would, he would have bitten Baloo on the back of the neck and finished him right there. Baloo should consider himself lucky that Shere Khan was SO pissed that he decided to draw out his pain for as long as possible, inadvertently allowing Mowgli and the vultures to step in and save the day.
Sorta fitting that you're watchng this now considering we just lost Richard Sherman, one half of the legendary Sherman Brothers, who wrote the songs in this and many other Disney classics.
Regarding similarities with the Lion King, there is one key scene in the Lion King that appears to originate from the original Jungle Book novel (so spoiler warning for the novel, I guess). The novel continues after Mowgli arrives at the village, and we see Mowgli grow up to be a young man. At the end, he has a final encounter with Shere Khan. Shere Kahn is resting in a canyon. Mowgli then takes help from his friends the wolves to make a herd of water buffalos stampeed down in the canyon, killing the tiger. And as we know, in the Lion King, Scar takes help from his friends the hyenas to make a herd of wilderbeests stampeed down in a canyon, killing Mufasa. Quite interesting how this action is reversed from being the good guy killing the villain, to the villain killing the good guy.
0:50, Yeah. When I read the book, it also had an introduction which included mentioning it having racist elements to the story which I didn’t really find the case in the book itself though given Rudyard Kipling also wrote the White Man’s Burden I can’t really blame them for the disclaimer
This movie is another Disney classic, even though the only memorable songs for me are I Wanna Be Like You and of course Bare Necessities. It’s worth a watch.
Fun Fact: The voice of Kaa the snake is also the voice of Winnie The Pooh. Let THAT sink in and you'll never look at Pooh the same way ever again. Oh bother!
Same in the french version, except the guy voiced not only Winnie but Piglet and Coco Rabbit in " Winnie the Pooh ". But that's not all : this guy was also behind a bunch of Disney characters of my childhood. I can't tell how many because it's a very big list but you can count Sir Hiss, Roquefort, Lafayette and the Cheshire Cat on it
Interesting fun fact during the chase scene when Baloo, Bagheera and King Louie trying to have Mowgli, they use some recycle animation chase from Disney's Adventures Of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
Yay, one of my favorite Disney childhood classics. Thanks, Timothee, and a happy tuesday afternoon to you as well. Take care and God bless you. And greetings from Colombia.
3:05 Not to worry; in the books, the wolves were strict practitioners of the Jungle Law (which forbade hunting humans). And Raksha/ Mother Wolf was fiercely protective of her cubs that even Shere Khan thought twice before tangling with her..
Great reaction to this classic Tim 🐺🐻🐈⬛🐘🐍🦧🐅🦤🧒🌴 Yes this was one of the last movies produced and made by the man himself Walt Disney & the songs are still memorable to this day...
In the orignial Jungle Book novel, there is more of a point made about how Mowgli differs from the animals. As a human, he tends to look others directly in the eyes. Direct eye contact is percieved as a challange by many animals, and it is making them feel uneasy with Mowgli. Contrary to the movie, Kaa is unable to hypnotize Mowgli because of this and Kaa and Mowgli are friends with respect for each other.
I didn't like that film. Seeing how they basically made Tarzan out of Mowgli, by omitting "talking" animals, for effects sake, while adding caucasian human characters, for character dynamics and foils. I mean, we have Cersei Lannister as a Jane-esque love interest, while Mowgli is aged up, considering the endagerment of a child near real-life animals. The 1942 film captures the premise better than this film. I'd argue even the 2016 remake does a fine job in walking the line between Kipling's stories and the Disney classic.
Tailspin (of which The Jungle Book characters were based from) was part of the 'Disney Afternoon' TV shows programming block (in the late 80 - early 2000s), along with such animated shows like, DuckTales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, The Adventures Of The Gummie Bears (those 6 shows were the original lineup) then later came Aladdin, Bonkers, Gargoyles, The Lion King's: Timon & Pumbaa Show, Quack Pack, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series, Hercules, 101 Dalmatians: The Series & Disney's Doug.
Here’s a fun fact. When they were creating The Jungle Book, the creators or animators were told not to even read the original book. And they wanted to make the plot basic, so it would just be Mowgli eventually making it to the man village. And there is a sequel to the animation film called The Jungle Book 2. And there are other Jungle Book movies that are popular or underrated. One was made in the 90s starring Jason Scott Lee and there was another one called the Jungle Book Mowgli’s Story starring Brandon Baker from Johnny Kapahala. There’s a live action remake of this first film. And there is one called The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli and Baloo which is based on the second story of Jungle Book. Also the names of the animals like Bagheera and Baloo are actual word translation in the Hindu language what animal they are.
I love this movie so much. The other ones aren’t worth watching. I agree that conserving films in their ORIGINAL FORM and preserving history is important. As long as we educate. It seems the erasure of things is more damage control than trying to be respectful. Respectful is keeping the things and acknowledging some things were not ok.
This was the first movie I have a memory seeing in theatres (in the late 1980s, I'm not that old, Disney used to periodically rerelease their classics theatrically). Kaa was always my favorite. Don't know if this was mentioned, but the Vultures were originally written for The Beatles, but Walt Disney thought they were a fad and would date the movie, so they cast other actors and changed the song to a barbershop quartet.
The Jungle Book’s in the public domain. So; *ANYONE* can make a movie in *ANY* genre, style, *OR* age rating they want. How terrifying would a Shere Khan horror movie *OR* a Kaa horror movie be? Something like Jaws. But; the bad guy can *TALK* or, in Kaa’s case, even *SING*
Fun fact : in France, Kaa was voiced by a man known as the boss of the Disney voice acting. I can't tell you all the Disney characters he voiced because the list is big (sometimes it's more than one in one movie)
While it's far from a perfect film, I'm glad it still has so many of Walt's final trademarks. Gorgous artwork, fluid animation, superb voice acting, and bittersweet music that really gave me chills as a child. I like to think it influenced my later tastes in animated storytelling because of how immersive it was. Anytime I feel trapped in the real world, I'm always ready to find a classic Disney picture to warm my heart. Any story that feels like a warm hug is a welcome diversion.
You definitely check out Jungle Boom 2010, live actions one of the few that is actually decent, and adds more to the story. And Kaa is actually voiced by Winnie the Pooh in this one.
Love me some Jungle Book ❤️❤️ especially this one because it’s from my childhood and it’s so joyful and a classic. I love the story and all the characters but Baloo will always be my favourite ❤️ Shere Khan is scary and pretty good villain 🐯 and also Kaa is creepy and scary Snake even he is voiced by the same guy who voiced Winnie The Pooh 😄 the songs are fantastic like I Wanna Be Like You and Bare necessities so catchy ❤️ So happy you watched this Tim and so happy you enjoyed it can’t wait to see what other classics you do next 😉😊👍👍
Funnily enough, I'm watching an episode of Grimm that has something to do with Rudyard Kipling (the author of The Jungle Book)! It's a great episode & this is a great movie!
If you liked this, I really do suggest you watch the Disney remake. It's faithful to this movie, while also adding more elements from the book and being different enough to be judged as it's own movie. It is my personal favourite of the Disney remakes.
I actually recommend watching Jungle Book 2. I know the Disney straight to DVD aren’t don’t get a lot of love, but to me it’s probably one of the better sequels, besides Lion King 2.
The Last movie to have Walt Disney's personal touch. His last contribution to this film before he sadly passed away was suggesting that the girl be the reason mowgli wants to go stay the man village. He sadly was never able to see this film finished. The scene where Baloo and Bagheera dance off singing was done as a tribute to Walt.
Originally the Jungle Book was planned to be a world in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep but was scrapped you can find the world in the games code which the world looks like it was almost finished but they decided to scrapped it for their limitations of the game
Oh, that's interesting. Fun fact : Roger Carel, the french voice of Kaa and a lot of Disney characters, revoiced in Kingdom Hearts all the Disney characters he voiced in their movies before
I agree that it’s good to include that statement at the beginning. I feel as though the question of whether to remove a work of art for being problematic is practically moot at this point. Works of art and media aren’t accessible nowadays because of technology and copyright, issues created by companies in order to hoard these pieces and compete with other huge businesses I guess. There’s more of an outcry nowadays against diversity than bigotry. Even acknowledging bigotry at all gets far more backlash than actually being bigoted. If many accuse someone of prejudice, and any actual change is made, it’s usually because that accused person is a minority. When movies or shows are removed because of being offensive, it’s often without discussion and is more about avoiding controversy than anything else.
"Mowgli" is definitly worth watching! It's not a Disney live action but another version so you can watch a different story. I don't know if it's more based on the book but it's less "light" and "fun", I mean you can feel how the jungle is wild, the characters are hurt and get dirty... I really liked it! There's also a different live action by Stephen Sommers but I haven't watched it, I only know it doesn't adapt the Disney version.
don't know about Mowgli, but you should check out Disney's live action version of The Jungle Book, with Neel Sethi playing Mowgli. he was 10 years old at the time of filming. now he's 20! also starring Idris Elba, Bill Murray, Scarlet Johansen, Christopher Walken, and Ben Kingsley.
If you want to watch the new version, i will recommend to watch the 1994 real movie first! "Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book" is a great movie starring Jason Scott Lee, Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) and John Cleese (Part of Monty Python). Disney prefer that no one knows the movie, but its a secret diamond in movie history! Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli fits perfect and he made a real good job!
WOW this was fun to revisit. But now I’m going to have these songs stuck in my head on repeat. What a crazy movie lol. Some of it was etched into my memory, but other parts I completely forgot or didn’t pick up on as a kid. Again, I am glad they have the little disclaimer / warning at the beginning because it’s a good reminder of how normalized certain stereotypes were even in otherwise great movies. Don’t get me wrong, the author of this book, and some of the messages, could be classified as “problematic” to say the least lol. But I forgot how funny this film was, as well how lovely the animation and music often were. I also honestly forgot that Shere Khan just ran away in the end! Them saying “he’s not coming back” doesn’t sound particularly reassuring...

Walt Disney's final film production. Truly the end of an era. Walt Disney 1901 - 1966
My dad used to make up his own version of Colonel Hathi’s March when I was little. He and I would sing and march in a line just like the elephants and Mowgli did and we’d laugh every time. 🐘🐘🐘
That's cute. Me and my little sister, we like to replay the scene where Mowgli is remplace by a monkey on Baloo's belly
I still laugh at the parts where Kaa s pushed off the tree
He's the best character 😂 fun fact : in France, his voice actor was also behind a lot of many Disney characters (for example : Sir Hiss)
Fun facts:
- Mowgli is played by Bruce Reitherman, who is the son of the director Wolfgang Reitherman.
- Phil Harris, Baloo’s voice actor also played in other Disney classics like O’Malley from The Aristocats and Little John from Robin Hood.
- Rock band The Beatles were supposed to play the vultures.
- The Vultures song “That’s What Friends Are For” was supposed to be a rock song.
- The vultures have names; Buzzy, Dizzy, Flaps & Ziggy.

For what it’s worth, a stampede would involve the animals RUNNING. The elephants in both scenes were merely WALKING.
The jungle book songs are very classic.
This is the last movie Walt Disney himself was producing and was involved in before he passed away December 15 1966 from lung cancer, one year before the movie hit the cinemas.
Baloo is my favorite character and he loves to do jazzy music
Me too. But, Baloo is a sloth 🦥 🐻
Shere Khan has so little screen time, yet he's got such a great presence as a villain.
While it's one of the Disney sequels and not fantastic, "Jungle Book 2"had a pretty good replacement voice for Shere Khan in Tony Jay(who also played Megabyte in "Reboot"and Frollo in "Hunchback of Notre Dame".)
I liked tony jay.
If you didn't know, but there is a prequel animated series, where all the characters, Baloo, Louie, Bagheera, Hathi, Kaa, Akella and Shere Khan, were not only shown as children, but even in principle were friends, and it is much sadder to realize who all these characters will become and that, well, it was the appearance of Mowgli in their lives that quarreled and separated them from each other.

The Jungle Book is a great Disney movie. The remake is pretty good.
Hey, Tim! I watched this movie growing up and thought it was okay. Never could make it to the end, but I love Bagheeras' design! Baloo is a sloth bear, and sloth bears are much, MUCH worse than tigers.

Don’t forget there’s also The Jungle Book:Mowgli’s story. Starring Eartha Kitt as Begheera
And the live-action one with Jason Scott Lee.
There’s also the original 1942 movie with Sabu
23:49, incidentally, that was a reference to the book. Baloo warned Mowgli not to frolic with the Bandar-log (the monkeys). Mowgli ignored the warning and got kidnapped for his trouble so Baloo and Bagheera rescued Mowgli and Mowgli evaded the monkeys who hunted them down to kill him by getting Kaa to eat them. Baloo is reluctant to discipline Mowgli for his mistake since he knows Mowgli feels sorry for it and Bagheera reminds him that the Law of the Jungle says that “sorrow can never stay punishment.)
7:19, in the book, Mowgli is the only one immune to Kaa’s hypnotic gaze (due to Mowgli being human.)
To be fair, the vultures told Mowgli to run after they flew away to get away from Shere Khan. They didn't want Shere Khan to attack him.
So about the disclaimer at the beginning: Walt Disney originally wanted to cast Louie Armstrong (a famous singer and jazz musician at the time) as King Louie, but his team were concerned that people would find it racist to have an African American play an ape. Walt reconsidered and decided on Italian American jazz singer/musician Louis Prima instead. Despite this, some people still see King Louie as an offensive black stereotype.
He casted him later for Scat Cat, no ?
@@a.g.demada5263 He was going to, but Armstrong’s health was beginning to decline at that point, so he gave the part to Scatman Crothers.
@@joedesena5402 ah ok, but he was his inspiration
@@a.g.demada5263 yes, I believe so
4:04, Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book in the 19th Century. Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote Tarzan in the 20th Century. So this came first
Baloo’s mauling at the paws of Shere Khan may have been brutal, but, really, the bear was fortunate that Khan decided to dish that out on him. If Shere Khan had killed him like a real tiger would, he would have bitten Baloo on the back of the neck and finished him right there. Baloo should consider himself lucky that Shere Khan was SO pissed that he decided to draw out his pain for as long as possible, inadvertently allowing Mowgli and the vultures to step in and save the day.
Jungle book was my first Disney movie at a drive in as a child loved it
a true disney classic- one of my real tops!
Sorta fitting that you're watchng this now considering we just lost Richard Sherman, one half of the legendary Sherman Brothers, who wrote the songs in this and many other Disney classics.
Regarding similarities with the Lion King, there is one key scene in the Lion King that appears to originate from the original Jungle Book novel (so spoiler warning for the novel, I guess).
The novel continues after Mowgli arrives at the village, and we see Mowgli grow up to be a young man. At the end, he has a final encounter with Shere Khan. Shere Kahn is resting in a canyon. Mowgli then takes help from his friends the wolves to make a herd of water buffalos stampeed down in the canyon, killing the tiger. And as we know, in the Lion King, Scar takes help from his friends the hyenas to make a herd of wilderbeests stampeed down in a canyon, killing Mufasa.
Quite interesting how this action is reversed from being the good guy killing the villain, to the villain killing the good guy.
0:50, Yeah. When I read the book, it also had an introduction which included mentioning it having racist elements to the story which I didn’t really find the case in the book itself though given Rudyard Kipling also wrote the White Man’s Burden I can’t really blame them for the disclaimer
This movie is another Disney classic, even though the only memorable songs for me are I Wanna Be Like You and of course Bare Necessities. It’s worth a watch.
Thanks for doing this, Tim. I been requesting this for a while.
Plus The Jungle Book is my # 1 favorite movie of the Disney Silver Age
Fun Fact: The voice of Kaa the snake is also the voice of Winnie The Pooh. Let THAT sink in and you'll never look at Pooh the same way ever again. Oh bother!
Same in the french version, except the guy voiced not only Winnie but Piglet and Coco Rabbit in " Winnie the Pooh ".
But that's not all : this guy was also behind a bunch of Disney characters of my childhood. I can't tell how many because it's a very big list but you can count Sir Hiss, Roquefort, Lafayette and the Cheshire Cat on it
Interesting fun fact during the chase scene when Baloo, Bagheera and King Louie trying to have Mowgli, they use some recycle animation chase from Disney's Adventures Of Ichabod and Mr. Toad.
Ah ? I didn't know that
Yay, one of my favorite Disney childhood classics. Thanks, Timothee, and a happy tuesday afternoon to you as well. Take care and God bless you. And greetings from Colombia.
3:05 Not to worry; in the books, the wolves were strict practitioners of the Jungle Law (which forbade hunting humans). And Raksha/ Mother Wolf was fiercely protective of her cubs that even Shere Khan thought twice before tangling with her..
Great reaction to this classic Tim 🐺🐻🐈⬛🐘🐍🦧🐅🦤🧒🌴
Yes this was one of the last movies produced and made by the man himself Walt Disney & the songs are still memorable to this day...
Yep
In the orignial Jungle Book novel, there is more of a point made about how Mowgli differs from the animals. As a human, he tends to look others directly in the eyes. Direct eye contact is percieved as a challange by many animals, and it is making them feel uneasy with Mowgli. Contrary to the movie, Kaa is unable to hypnotize Mowgli because of this and Kaa and Mowgli are friends with respect for each other.
Ah Tim you brought me back with this one I still have the original vhs video of this defo should do the second underatted 🎉
Has anyone seen or heard of the 1994 Live Action Jungle Book Movie? I remember really loving that one growing up.
Me too
I’ve heard of it but haven’t seen it
same
I didn't like that film. Seeing how they basically made Tarzan out of Mowgli, by omitting "talking" animals, for effects sake, while adding caucasian human characters, for character dynamics and foils.
I mean, we have Cersei Lannister as a Jane-esque love interest, while Mowgli is aged up, considering the endagerment of a child near real-life animals.
The 1942 film captures the premise better than this film. I'd argue even the 2016 remake does a fine job in walking the line between Kipling's stories and the Disney classic.
RIP Richard Sherman
You know this film has a sequel, right? The jungle book 2
Baloo also had his own show called Talespin
There was also Jungle cubs
Tailspin (of which The Jungle Book characters were based from) was part of the 'Disney Afternoon' TV shows programming block (in the late 80 - early 2000s), along with such animated shows like, DuckTales, Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, Goof Troop, The Adventures Of The Gummie Bears (those 6 shows were the original lineup) then later came Aladdin, Bonkers, Gargoyles, The Lion King's: Timon & Pumbaa Show, Quack Pack, Lilo & Stitch: The Series, Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series, Hercules, 101 Dalmatians: The Series & Disney's Doug.
Here’s a fun fact. When they were creating The Jungle Book, the creators or animators were told not to even read the original book. And they wanted to make the plot basic, so it would just be Mowgli eventually making it to the man village. And there is a sequel to the animation film called The Jungle Book 2. And there are other Jungle Book movies that are popular or underrated. One was made in the 90s starring Jason Scott Lee and there was another one called the Jungle Book Mowgli’s Story starring Brandon Baker from Johnny Kapahala. There’s a live action remake of this first film. And there is one called The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli and Baloo which is based on the second story of Jungle Book. Also the names of the animals like Bagheera and Baloo are actual word translation in the Hindu language what animal they are.
Bare necessities is one of my fav childhood songs. 2nd only to everybody wants tl be a cat
That’s from the aristocats.
@@nathancruz9172 yup lol one of my favorite kids movies
@@jamaalgaylord5029 fun fact : in France, Kaa's voice actor is also Roquefort and Lafayette in " The Aristocats "
I love this movie so much. The other ones aren’t worth watching.
I agree that conserving films in their ORIGINAL FORM and preserving history is important. As long as we educate.
It seems the erasure of things is more damage control than trying to be respectful.
Respectful is keeping the things and acknowledging some things were not ok.
The Fox and The Hound,The Rescuers and 101 Dalmatians are classics
This was the first movie I have a memory seeing in theatres (in the late 1980s, I'm not that old, Disney used to periodically rerelease their classics theatrically). Kaa was always my favorite.
Don't know if this was mentioned, but the Vultures were originally written for The Beatles, but Walt Disney thought they were a fad and would date the movie, so they cast other actors and changed the song to a barbershop quartet.
I’m having a *REALLY* bad week, Tim. So, thanks a tonne for uploading the same as usual. You’re helping me *A LOT* Keep up the good work
Yes, I do recommend checking out both the 2016 adaptation and Mowgli.
The Jungle Book’s in the public domain. So; *ANYONE* can make a movie in *ANY* genre, style, *OR* age rating they want. How terrifying would a Shere Khan horror movie *OR* a Kaa horror movie be? Something like Jaws. But; the bad guy can *TALK* or, in Kaa’s case, even *SING*
One of the best selling classic Disney tapes of the early 90's
Fun fact : in France, Kaa was voiced by a man known as the boss of the Disney voice acting.
I can't tell you all the Disney characters he voiced because the list is big (sometimes it's more than one in one movie)
Awesome reaction of my favorite Disney movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Good one Tim you watched one of the Disney movies for a long times keep it up OK and tell Clarissa do the same thing as her channel too. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
37:09 Baloo putting his ass on the line to save Mowgli...litterally!
8:03, Kaa does try to eat Bagheera in the book. Mowgli and Baloo physically restrain Bagheera to keep him from walking into Kaa’s open mouth
Jungle Book came first. The Jungle Book was released in 1967 and Tarzan was released in 1999.
Each movie is based on a book
While it's far from a perfect film, I'm glad it still has so many of Walt's final trademarks. Gorgous artwork, fluid animation, superb voice acting, and bittersweet music that really gave me chills as a child. I like to think it influenced my later tastes in animated storytelling because of how immersive it was. Anytime I feel trapped in the real world, I'm always ready to find a classic Disney picture to warm my heart. Any story that feels like a warm hug is a welcome diversion.
You definitely check out Jungle Boom 2010, live actions one of the few that is actually decent, and adds more to the story. And Kaa is actually voiced by Winnie the Pooh in this one.
No it doesn't.
Love me some Jungle Book ❤️❤️ especially this one because it’s from my childhood and it’s so joyful and a classic. I love the story and all the characters but Baloo will always be my favourite ❤️ Shere Khan is scary and pretty good villain 🐯 and also Kaa is creepy and scary Snake even he is voiced by the same guy who voiced Winnie The Pooh 😄 the songs are fantastic like I Wanna Be Like You and Bare necessities so catchy ❤️ So happy you watched this Tim and so happy you enjoyed it can’t wait to see what other classics you do next 😉😊👍👍
Funnily enough, I'm watching an episode of Grimm that has something to do with Rudyard Kipling (the author of The Jungle Book)! It's a great episode & this is a great movie!
This was one of my younger brother's favorite movies. Along with Toy Story
21:59 this scene here gets me laughing every time. 😈😆
Me too
If you liked this, I really do suggest you watch the Disney remake. It's faithful to this movie, while also adding more elements from the book and being different enough to be judged as it's own movie. It is my personal favourite of the Disney remakes.
This movie was made waaaaay before Tarzan.
Yeah, you can tell by the quality of the two films, not to mention the dates of their releases.
@@SpacialRend7Yeah, that makes it quite obvious
And the Jungle Book stories (1894-95) were written well over a decade before Edgar Rice Burrough’s Tarzan of the Apes (1912)..
The jungle book 2 (2003) don’t forget
I'm looking forward to see the 2003 movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@pricemoore2022me too
You should react to the sequel, the jungle book 2, because it focuses mostly on the relationship of Mowgli and the girl we saw at the end
I actually recommend watching Jungle Book 2. I know the Disney straight to DVD aren’t don’t get a lot of love, but to me it’s probably one of the better sequels, besides Lion King 2.
YO IM HERE BROTHA
Rip to Richard s sherman now he is reunited with his brother and Walt
Rip Richard sherman 1928 - 2024😢
Was it the man who did the music " Feed the birds " ?
@@a.g.demada5263 yes
@@wolf2912 wow, it's like after " Once upon a studio " his job was done 😢
Thank you for watching this's in honor of Richard Sherman
The Last movie to have Walt Disney's personal touch. His last contribution to this film before he sadly passed away was suggesting that the girl be the reason mowgli wants to go stay the man village. He sadly was never able to see this film finished. The scene where Baloo and Bagheera dance off singing was done as a tribute to Walt.
Got this movie on dvd 📀
Me too
Originally the Jungle Book was planned to be a world in Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep but was scrapped you can find the world in the games code which the world looks like it was almost finished but they decided to scrapped it for their limitations of the game
Oh, that's interesting. Fun fact : Roger Carel, the french voice of Kaa and a lot of Disney characters, revoiced in Kingdom Hearts all the Disney characters he voiced in their movies before
I agree that it’s good to include that statement at the beginning. I feel as though the question of whether to remove a work of art for being problematic is practically moot at this point. Works of art and media aren’t accessible nowadays because of technology and copyright, issues created by companies in order to hoard these pieces and compete with other huge businesses I guess.
There’s more of an outcry nowadays against diversity than bigotry. Even acknowledging bigotry at all gets far more backlash than actually being bigoted. If many accuse someone of prejudice, and any actual change is made, it’s usually because that accused person is a minority. When movies or shows are removed because of being offensive, it’s often without discussion and is more about avoiding controversy than anything else.
React to the live action reboot of The Jungle Book next please! It’s even better than the original and the cast in the new one is amazing!
100 % agree
In what way is that monstrosity better than the original? The remake can't even keep the tone consistent.
Don't miss 101 dalmations 🎉🎉🎉
Fun fact : in France, Kaa and Pongo are voiced by the same guy
"Mowgli" is definitly worth watching! It's not a Disney live action but another version so you can watch a different story. I don't know if it's more based on the book but it's less "light" and "fun", I mean you can feel how the jungle is wild, the characters are hurt and get dirty... I really liked it!
There's also a different live action by Stephen Sommers but I haven't watched it, I only know it doesn't adapt the Disney version.
don't know about Mowgli, but you should check out Disney's live action version of The Jungle Book, with Neel Sethi playing Mowgli. he was 10 years old at the time of filming. now he's 20!
also starring Idris Elba, Bill Murray, Scarlet Johansen, Christopher Walken, and Ben Kingsley.
If you want to watch the new version, i will recommend to watch the 1994 real movie first! "Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book" is a great movie starring Jason Scott Lee, Sam Neill (Jurassic Park) and John Cleese (Part of Monty Python). Disney prefer that no one knows the movie, but its a secret diamond in movie history! Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli fits perfect and he made a real good job!
30 years ago
Love that one!
1:13, true. That one needs the disclaimer
Ooo i really like your shirt Tim
when Shere-khan said that polite "INDEED" it felt more like an "i will humor this liar for a little while😑😏"
WOW this was fun to revisit. But now I’m going to have these songs stuck in my head on repeat. What a crazy movie lol. Some of it was etched into my memory, but other parts I completely forgot or didn’t pick up on as a kid. Again, I am glad they have the little disclaimer / warning at the beginning because it’s a good reminder of how normalized certain stereotypes were even in otherwise great movies.
Don’t get me wrong, the author of this book, and some of the messages, could be classified as “problematic” to say the least lol. But I forgot how funny this film was, as well how lovely the animation and music often were. I also honestly forgot that Shere Khan just ran away in the end! Them saying “he’s not coming back” doesn’t sound particularly reassuring...
I love this movie
Me too
