THE OUTSONG

There are two film adaptations, both featuring a combination of live actors and CGI with an All-Star Cast of voice actors. One, which came out in 2016, is produced by Disney and directed by Jon Favreau. The other, released in 2018 on Netflix, is titled Mowgli, produced by Warner Bros., and directed by Andy Serkis (who also plays Baloo via motion capture). Interestingly, both adaptations Gender Flip Kaa the python (voiced by Scarlett Johansson and Cate Blanchett, respectively).

Mills, Michael (December 30, 1994). "It's a Fact: 'Pulp Fiction' Year's Best". The Palm Beach Post (Finaled.). p.7. Jason Scott Lee as Mowgli, a wild man who was orphaned at 5 years old and was raised by the animals in the jungle of India. The Second Jungle Book is a sequel to The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. First published in 1895, it features five stories about Mowgli and three unrelated stories, all but one set in India, most of which Kipling wrote while living in Vermont. All of the stories were previously published in magazines in 1894–5, often under different titles. The 1994 film The Jungle Book used it as a source. Second book: "How Fear Came" is more of a "Just So Story" with no real peril or danger and the explanation of why tigers can eat humans (on one day a year, which it's noted Shere Khan flaunts and occasionally breaks). While "The Spring Running" also has no violence, no antagonist, and no peril, it is much heavier on the emotional drama. The Song of the Little Hunter: A short poem about how fear stalks the Indian jungles and those who live there.Disney found The Jungle Book, and loved at least some of its ideas, so they chose it for one of their Animated Adaptations. The result was and is widely considered a great Disney film, the best and perhaps most original animated Disney film of the 1960s. That said, this adaptation of The Jungle Book was one of the greatest cases of Adaptation Displacement in history, so great a case that Disney felt free to use some of Mowgli's friends and foes and rivals far, far away from the books and jungles where they were conceived, and so it considers them its own. This is the probable reason why Kipling doesn't receive a credit on TaleSpin, an Animated Series that puts three of the main characters from The Jungle Book (or Disney's version, at least) into an Alternate Continuity. A second series was created using the Disney interpretations Jungle Cubs reinventing the childhood lives of the animal residents into comical stories. See Disney: The Jungle Book. I thought this was really a rather humbling novel. I have a dog that is aging right now, and the full circle of life is so well demonstrated in this novel and it’s happening right in front of my eyes…making it bitter sweet in my case. Reading up on Kipling’s life and his works I realized that I have misjudged anything I knew before about the Jungle Book or its origins. Which was very little I have to say. I am sadly ashamed to have never actually read the original Jungle book but mostly the children’s illustrated versions when I was a kid or just browsing bookcases and glancing through. This needs to be mended on my part and I am intending to read some other works from this brilliant mind whose prose and voice are full of wisdom and simply brilliant.

Bowdlerise: On top of how animated depictions usually skip over or tone down the family unfriendly parts, this is somewhat AVERTED, in the most ironic of instances, in at least one young children rewrite of the story released in the U.S, which not only leaves in the creepy mass hallucination and feast scene with Kaa eating a ton of simians completely intact, but even includes a lovingly drawn scene of Mowgli and the wolves killing Shere Khan. Flunkey (Disney) is King Louie's monkey servant and lieutenant. He is voiced by Leo De Lyon in the first film and by Jim Cummings in The Jungle Book 2. Letting in the Jungle: Mowgli hears that his adoptive parents from the village he tried to settle in are being threatened with death because of his "being an evil sorcerer", and so he leads his animal allies to raid the village and drive the inhabitants away. The Miracle of Puran Bhagat' is about a westernized, astute, powerful and highly successful man of the world who turns ascetic and traces his journey to a remote refuge, his kindness to all, his affinity with animals and his ultimate sacrifice for those who had come to revere him deeply. The descriptions are lovely:In fact, probably thanks to being Adaptational Comic Relief, Tabaqui makes it out alive in several adaptations. What a feast for the mind and the eye. Vibrant and thoughtful, Kipling chose his words with intent to deliver this captivating and provocative piece, sequel to The Jungle Book, turning worldview from humans to animals of the jungle and we can all learn from it. In "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi", Teddy's father isn't named, although Teddy's mother's name is Alice, as given in dialogue.

Chuchundra in "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi" is said to be a musk-rat, but muskrats are not native to India. The chuchunder is actually a species of shrew, known by several English names including Asian musk shrew.Twenty years later Mowgli grows into a young man. One day, a monkey steals the bracelet and lures Mowgli towards a legendary lost city honoring Hanuman, filled with treasure belonging to King Louie the orangutan, who has the treasure guarded by Kaa, a gigantic python. Forced to fight for his life and the bracelet, Mowgli succeeds in wounding the snake with a bejeweled dagger that he retrieves from the treasure horde. Winning King Louie's respect, Mowgli keeps the dagger as a trophy. The Mowgli Arc: The stories and poems covering the life and adventures of Mowgli. In the first Jungle Book alone, these make up the first six of the fourteen tales (three stories and three poems), whilst the second Jungle Book adds five more stories. A third fan-written Jungle Book is devoted entirely to more of these stories. Bears Are Bad News: Averted with Baloo, who might be a stern mentor, but is one of the most loyal supporters of Mowgli. He's also not a predator, as "he eats only nuts and roots and honey."
