    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The Vultures were originally going to be voiced by The Beatles. The band's manager, Brian Epstein, approached the Disney studios about having The Beatles appear in the film, and Disney had his animators create the Vultures specifically to be voiced by the band. But when Epstein took the idea to the Beatles, John Lennon vetoed the idea, and told Epstein to tell Disney he should hire Elvis Presley instead. The look of The Vultures, with their mop-top haircuts and Liverpool voices, are a homage to The Beatles; one bird's voice and features are clearly based on George Harrison's. That's What Friends Are For was originally to be done as a rock and roll song. When the Beatles departed the project, the song was rewritten as a barbershop quartet, to make it timeless.
    • Goofs
      The story takes place in India, yet King Louie is an orangutan - they live in Borneo and Sumatra. Disney's promotional materials later solved this problem by declaring that Louie is an undiscovered "cryptid" species, which is also mentioned in The Jungle Book (2016).

      Mowgli: Oh, Baloo, I wanna stay with you.

      Baloo: Certainly, you do.

      Bagheera: Oh? And just how do you think he will survive?

      Baloo: "How do you think he will... " What do you mean how do you think he... He's with me, ain't he? And I'll learn him all I know.

      Bagheera: [sarcastic] Oh? That shouldn't take too long.

    Best animated feature of Disney's golden era - and what a killer soundtrack!

    There aren't many animated Disney films I don't like, basically every single one of them until the end of the seventies was amazing. But for me, this is the one which stands out.

    Sadly, Disney himself never got to see the finished film (he died during the production), but this is one he would have been proud of. Crafted beautifully and with attention to every little detail, from the way the different animal species move to the colorful jungle backgrounds.

    Wolfgang Reitherman has directed some of the studio's best - but here he has created his masterpiece. Outstanding animation, fantastic characters - and what a killer soundtrack.

    A joy for every generation to discover anew (my 9-year old nephew currently has a bit of a Shere Khan fixation), I guess I will never outgrow this timeless classic. 10 out of 10.
