Although "I Wanna Be Like You"is one of the best songs in The Jungle Book, and one of its most memorable scenes, King Louie does not even exist in the book. This isn't a surprise, as orangutans are not even native to India (this is why King Louie was made into an extinct species of ape for the live-action remake). The character of King Louie was an...
In the animated movie, there are only two humans - Mowgli, and the young girl from the man village (named Shanti in The Jungle Book 2). In the book, there are many more humans. Mowgli actually joins the man village about halfway through the story rather than at the end, where he is adopted by Messua, who believes Mowgli is her long-lost son. Other ...
The wolves who adopt and raise Mowgli are barely given enough screen time to be fully characterized in the movie. They play a significantly larger role in the book, such as protecting Mowgli from Shere Khan early on. Even the mother wolf has a bigger part, where she doesn't even speak in the movie.

The sneaky Kaa is arguably one of Disney's most memorable villains, renowned for his swirly hypnotic eyes and his quest to eat Mowgli. In the book, Kaa is not only one of Mowgli's allies but a very formidable and feared force to be reckoned with. Although he has his sinister moments and a wonderfully creepy villain song, Disney's Kaa is accident-pr...
Although he doesn't appear on screen until much later, the erudite Shere Khan is a formidable yet underappreciated Disney villain, feared by all who reside in the jungle (except Mowgli). He is even nastier in the live-action remake. This isn't the case in the book. Shere Khan is arrogant and believes he should rule the jungle, but whereas the wolf ...
Almost all Disney villains have a sidekick - usually funny and incompetent. So it's a bit of a mystery why Disney did not give Shere Khan his sidekick from the novel. Tabaqui the cowardly jackal is the only character in the book that is loyal to Shere Khan and is hated just as much as the tiger. On one hand, it would have been interesting to see Sh...
One of the most likable characters in Disney's The Jungle Book is easily Baloo, the laidback lazy sloth bear who just wants to have fun with his newfound buddy Mowgli. His counterpart is the good-hearted but rather strict Bagheera, who is one of Disney's more underrated characters. Interestingly, these two key characters had their personalities swi...
In the novel, Hathi is the patient leader of the elephants and believes strongly in law and order. This might have provided a basis for the Disney version but Hathi in the novel is taken far more seriously by his peers than his Disney counterpart.

Hathi's son, named Junior, is the main source of cuteness in the Disney movie. Unlike Hathi, Junior quickly befriends Mowgli and shows him how to be an elephant. It is also because of him that Hathi, who unconditionally loves his son, even considers helping look for Mowgli. As the movie's cutest character, it's a bit of a shame that Disney didn't f...
It's hard not to forget the quartet of sluggish barbershop-singing vultures who console Mowgli when he's perhaps at his lowest. This might be due to their similarity to the legendary band The Beatles, who were originally intended to voice the vultures. There are no vultures in the book at all. Like King Louie, the vultures are an original Disney cr...

The Jungle Book is a 1967 animated musical comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling 's classic 1894 The Jungle Book, it was directed by Wolfgang Reitherman. It was the last film to be produced by Walt Disney, who died during its production.
Oct 18, 2022 · Like many early Walt Disney Animation Studios productions, The Jungle Book is inspired by a work of literature with the same name. The film follows the story set up by Rudyard Kipling in his 1894 novel. That tale follows young Mowgli as he is raised by wolves in the Indian Jungle.
