Jungle Book (or Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book) is a 1942 film directed by Zoltan Korda, loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and starring Sabu as Mowgli.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Despite its title, it's based primarily on The Second Jungle Book, as the plot is kicked off when Mowgli arrives to the Man-Village: the sub-plot about the treasure chamber guarded by a white cobra comes from "The King's Ankus", Mowgli's fight with Shere Khan is adapted from the fight with the dholes in "Red Dog", Buldeo accusing Mowgli and Messua of witchcraft comes from "Letting in the Jungle", and the crocodile character Mugger comes from a non-Mowgli story called "The Undertakers".Sabu had also previously starred in Korda's Elephant Boy, which was based on one of the non-Mowgli stories in The Jungle Book.

Black Comedy: Kaa tells Mowgli that he's learned where Shere Khan rests from Tabaqui. When Mowgli asks where's Tabaqui now, Kaa points at a bulge on his body.

Brownface: Many of the Indian characters are played by white actors in brown makeup - a major exception being Mowgli, played by Sabu, an actual Indian.

Animal Gender-Bender: Hathi is played by a tuskless female elephant. Since elephant herds are matriarchal, this actually makes Hathi more believable as the leader of a herd.

Big Bad: Not Shere Khan, but Buldeo, due to the film being a Human-Focused Adaptation. In fact, the tiger is killed halfway through the film, and the rest of the movie is about Buldeo's Gold Fever.
