The Jungle Book (2016)	comment	The Jungle Book is Disney's 2016 CGI Adaptation and remake of their animated adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's original story, directed by Jon Favreau, and following the recent success of Disney's live-action remakes. It is the first CGI adaptation of The Jungle Book made by Disney.While Mowgli is portrayed by a human actor, the rest of the film is portrayed almost entirely through computer animation, with extensive motion capture and highly photorealistic animation to create the Indian jungle and its inhabitants.Not to be confused with Warner Bros.' Mowgli, directed by Andy Serkis, which was delayed to 2018 in response to the release of this movie (in spite of being announced first). Nor should it be confused with Disney's earlier live-action Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book, released back in 1994.Its cast includes: Neel Sethi as Mowgli Bill Murray as Baloo Ben Kingsley as Bagheera Idris Elba as Shere Khan note One of three Disney films in 2016 alone to have Elba; he also appeared in the Disney Animated Canon's Zootopia and Pixar's Finding Dory Scarlett Johansson as Kaa Christopher Walken as King Louie Lupita Nyong'o as Raksha Giancarlo Esposito as AkelaRichard M. Sherman, the surviving Sherman brother, wrote updates to the songs for the film.The first teaser can be seen here. The official trailer can be seen here.Plans for a sequel are being discussed, with Jon Favreau potentially returning to direct.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_135b9977	type	Bloodless Carnage
The Jungle Book (2016) / int_135b9977	comment	Bloodless Carnage: A black panther and a bear fight a bunch of monkeys, biting, slashing at (and in the bear's case, rolling over and crushing) them. There's no blood (or any dead monkeys for that matter) resulting from the confrontation. Shere Khan kills Mowgli's father with a bite to the throat, which should definitely leave some blood at his fangs. There isn't.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_17a45ff5	type	Misplaced Wildlife
The Jungle Book (2016) / int_17a45ff5	comment	Misplaced Wildlife: India covers a wide range of climates, ecosystems, and biogeographic regions. Consequently, you can throw in a whole bunch of animals that are all found in India, yet don't actually meet each other in the wild. The Jungle Book (both Rudyard Kipling's original stories and this movie) are set in Seeonee (more typically spelt Seoni) in the state of Madhya Pradesh, central India. A number of Indian wildlife depicted in the movie aren't native to this area itself, such as Indian rhino and pygmy hog (both more typical of the grasslands of the northern and northeastern states), as well as a great deal of the various primate species that make up the Bandar-log (see below for details). The wolves themselves look quite out of place - they have the fur coats of wolves from more temperate climates. Indian wolves are much leaner and look quite different from European and North American wolves. The flying squirrel species shown is a red and white giant flying squirrel, which is found in China, not India. There are various flying squirrel species in India, but they aren't as distinctively marked as this species. The jerboas, which show up at several points in the movie, must be quite lost; not only are they not found in India, they aren't even jungle inhabitants! They're found only in desert environments, and while some species are found in the arid parts of western Pakistan, that's the closest they ever get to Seoni. The frog seen hopping on the ground after the rains return does not look like any known species of frog from India. Instead, it appears to be an European tree frog. King Louie was changed from an orangutan to a Gigantopithecus in this movie in order to avert this trope, as while orangutans aren't native to India, fossil findings show that Gigantopithecus was. He is, however, now an extinct species — and still looks a lot like a dominant male orang-utan. Baloo doesn't look like a sloth bear, but a Himalayan brown bear (though Bagheera once refers to him, perhaps sarcastically, as a sloth bear.) As the name suggests, they live in the Himalayan Mountains, not the jungle (they are found in northern parts of India though). Word of God however still describes Baloo as a sloth bear, regardless of how un-sloth bear-like he is in the movie. Then again, perhaps it's a Stealth Insult: calling him a sloth bear because he's lazy. The Bandar-log consists of a number of exotic-looking monkey species that while Indian, don't occur in the Seoni area at all. The western hoolock gibbon, the northern pig-tailed macaque and the golden langur are native to the northeastern part of India, while the lion-tailed macaque and the Nilgiri langur are native to the southwestern part of India. Only the gray langurs fit biogeographically - the southern plains gray langur is native to central India. Meanwhile, the rhesus macaque, which is found in central India, is omitted. The sounds they make include the calls of siamang, a gibbon species found in the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, not in India, as well as chimpanzees (a species restricted to Africa). The western hoolock gibbons also look more like northern white-cheeked gibbons, a species of gibbon native to Vietnam and Laos, than their real-life counterparts. A red-tailed hawk (a predominantly North American species) is heard calling while Baloo and Bagheera are climbing the cliff in pursuit of the Bandar-log. During the credits, silhouettes of monkeys with prehensile tails and hummingbirds (both of which are restricted to the Americas) are shown.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
The Jungle Book (2016) / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: The herd of Asian elephants depicted is a bit odd as it's a combination of individuals with both long and short tusks. Generally only females will form herds like this, as males leave the herd upon reaching maturity. However, the longer tusks shown in the film only appear in males, while female Asian elephants are usually tuskless or have very small tusks (called tushes). This implies we're being shown either a mixed-sex herd (with the short-tusked ones being females), or one that is made up entirely of bulls which makes it unusual to see them with a calf in tow. Because this would imply the calf was orphaned, wasn't adopted by another female, and can survive just fine without milk. In addition, the elephants are portrayed with a "saddlebacked" profile typical of African elephants; Asian elephants have an arched back. One langur is shown brachiating, i.e. moving through the trees while hanging from branches by their arms. However, this is a form of locomotion mostly employed by gibbons and spider monkeys. Macaques and langurs typically run and leap about on all fours along the tops of branches. The cuckoo chick is shown sitting in a nest on a branch, when its foster parent, depicted by a green bee-eater, arrives to feed it. However, while there are many different cuckoo species in India and they are nest parasites of a fairly wide variety of birds, bee-eaters are not among those species known to be targeted by cuckoos. Also, bee-eaters don't build nests; they breed in burrows excavated in riverbanks and sandy areas. The bee-eaters are also depicting picking food from inside a crocodile's jaws. The supposed behaviour of birds cleaning a crocodile's teeth is believed to be a myth, since there has never been any verifiable record of it ever occurring, on top of the fact the behaviour is ascribed to plovers, not bee-eaters. When Mowgli returns to the wolves after several months away, the cubs have not grown at all. In reality wolf cubs grow rapidly - they're almost full-sized by their first winter, having only been born in spring. The wolves are depicted with appearances that make them far more closely resemble Alaskan timber wolves or Eurasian wolves, being large in size and with thick fur, rather than actual Indian wolves, which are smaller and scrawnier, with much thinner fur due to the warm climate. Similarly, Baloo is explicitly stated to be a sloth bear, but in terms of size and appearance, he looks much more like a brown bear, since he lacks the sloth bear's characteristic shaggy mane, white muzzle, and crescent-shaped chest marking, is brownish rather than black, and has a brown bear's fatter body shape. Brown bears live in India, but nowhere near the region the story is supposed to be set.

He could easily have killed all of his enemies if he weren't so focused on getting to Mowgli, given how effortlessly he knocks them aside when they Zerg Rush him. His hold on it gets even tighter when he corners Mowgli on a dead branch that he has even heard cracking on his weight, while a huge fire rages below him.

They demonstrate the effective pack teamwork that allows them to stall the tiger even as they are overpowered by him. Baloo probably stands out the most for coming across as one of the most laid-back characters and preferring honey to animals as food. However, threaten to harm Mowgli and he won't hesitate to come to his defense in full fury. He is a bear, after all. Bagheera is also a noteworthy example, especially compared to his '67 counterpart who never participated in a fight. Here he makes it clear from the very beginning that he is a very capable fighter, who will quickly come to the defense of his protÃ©gÃ©, to the extent of pouncing Shere Khan when he tries to make a move.

On a lighter note, one of the excuses Baloo gives for intruding on the Bandar log is that he â€œwants to be like youâ€�.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_26ac510e	type	Mythology Gag
The Jungle Book (2016) / int_26ac510e	comment	Mythology Gag: The buffalo stampede from the original story, which wasn't in the 1967 version, is worked into this adaptation. However, while in the book the stampede is what kills Shere Khan, in this one he survives it, and dies instead by falling into a ravine and burning alive. Kaa asks Mowgli to "trust in me", and not only does the titular song play as an instrumental during the scene, so does Kaa's Leitmotif from the original film. The first monkey Mowgli meets before he's kidnapped resembles "Flunky Monkey" (the animators' nickname for the showoff monkey in the animated film.) Louie refers to himself as "King of the Bandar-Log". Bandar-Log was the name of the monkey tribe in the books, but they were never referred to as such in the Disney film. Mowgli rescues a baby elephant from the pit, like in Soviet animated adaptation In a scene that is only featured in the novelization, Shere Khan is also visited by a hungry jackal with information about Mowgli. He doesn't go named or even have much of a role, but any fan of Kipling's book will recognize Tabaqui when they see him. This isn't the first film adaptation to have Shere-Khan kill one of Mowgli's adoptive parents (the 1998 film adaptation has Shere-Khan killing Raksha). This also isn't the first time Shere-Khan killed Mowgli's biological father, he did so in the 1994 adaptation as well. This also isn't the first time Shere Khan tries turning the wolves to his side. In the books, he almost managed to turn the wolf pack against Mowgli and Akela. "If anything happens to that kid, I'll never forgive myself," says Baloo. In this film (as opposed to Baloo regretting scolding Mowgli in the original), he regrets pretending to fake his friendship with Mowgli and acting coldly towards him even though he did it to keep him safe. A rhinoceros character is credited under the name of Rocky, a character that was created for the 1967 film to accompany the singing vultures that ended up on the cutting room floor. When Shere Khan arrives at the peace rock, four vultures are seen circling the sky. A far cry from the Beatles-esque quartet from the 67 film, but still pretty cool. A porcupine appears in one scene, who is based on a minor character from the book named Ikki. In a similar vein, a brahminy kite shows up in several scenes in a non-speaking role. Fans of the book will recognize it as Chil the Kite. The ending of the 2016 film closes with a book laying on a blue cloth... the VERY same book that was present in the 1967 Jungle Book, which opened the movie. After the climax of the film, Mowgli rides the elephants. This calls back to how he got leverage on Hathi in The Second Jungle Book, as well as the short story Toomai of the Elephants. Just like her animated counterpart, Kaa's eyes develop a swirling pattern when she hypnotizes Mowgli. The story that Bagheera tells Mowgli about the elephants creating the jungle comes from The Second Jungle Book, the story "How Fear Came", in which Hathi tells the same legend about his ancestors. A subtle one, but the first shot of Shere Khan is him standing on the hills with the burning sun in his back. In his deleted song from the '67 Version he says about himself that he's "cruel as the mid-day sun". Like the '67 film, Louie's temple home collapses. The only one of Mowgli's brother besides Grey to get a name on-screen is Tavi, and his only line is "...and a mongoose". An obvious nod to Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_2ae29c0d	comment	The Dreaded: Shere Khan, naturally, is given a wide berth by all the animals at the watering hole, even a crocodile. Also Baloo's reaction: when Mowgli mentions a tiger is hunting him, Baloo dismisses it as no big deal, but when Bagheera later tells him just who that tiger is, Baloo is now very concerned. note There is some artistic license here, as the watering hole scene shows rhinos and water buffalo giving way to Shere Khan. In reality, tigers give these animals a wide berth as they are simply out of a tiger's weight class. Then again, Shere Khan is an Adaptational Badass in this film, so those animals presumably aren't taking any chances. The "red flower", to the point that even mentioning it is done in hushed tones. When Mowgli shows up bearing a burning torch, the animals all cower before him and even Shere Khan keeps his distance while taunting him.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_319e4a2f	comment	Even Evil Has Standards: Subverted with Shere Khan, who won't hunt Mowgli during the water truce, stating that he deeply respects the jungle law. However, it's heavily implied that Khan was simply being pragmatic and reminding everyone that Mowgli's presence is against the law, as he is pretty infamous for breaking every law in the jungle if it doesn't suit him. Raksha accordingly calls him out for being a fraud. Though played straight in that he never attacks other animals during the water truce at least. Played straight with Kaa. Not only is she arguably the least malicious of the film's antagonists, she sounds quite disapproving of Shere Khan attacking and killing Mowgli's father for no real reason, much like her animated counterpart.

This isn't the first time Giancarlo Esposito has recited the Law of the Jungle to youngsters.

Mowgli proceeds to throw the torch into the lake, and Shere Khan states that that was the stupidest thing Mowgli could have done, before he menacingly approaches him. Fortunately for Mowgli, him refusing to use the Red Flower made the other animals realize that Mowgli really was one of them and they all rally against Shere Khan.

Baloo starts out as one himself who is shown to be a manipulative hustler in the beginning, shamelessly using Mowgli (and previous to him other animals) to get honey for him. The novelization takes it even further, explaining that Bagheera (previous to the events of the movie) nearly died in a river while Baloo left him for a papaya. This makes it even sweeter when Baloo, seeing Bagheera hesitate when the chase for Mowgli leads them to a fairly powerful river, jumps in first so that Bagheera has a steady platform he can use to brace off of and cross unharmed.

One-on-one, Shere Khan slaps each wolf down like they were nothing, so they have to rely on teamwork to take down their opponents. They're implied to be usually quite effective at that, but even that only holds the tiger back for a few seconds. To a lesser extent, Bagheera. While being about the same size as the wolves, he's a bit more muscular, and shown to be surprisingly strong, even by leopard-standards. However, compared to animals like Baloo and Shere Khan, his speed and agility are more outstanding and his main advantage.

Also Baloo's reaction: when Mowgli mentions a tiger is hunting him, Baloo dismisses it as no big deal, but when Bagheera later tells him just who that tiger is, Baloo is now very concerned. note There is some artistic license here, as the watering hole scene shows rhinos and water buffalo giving way to Shere Khan. In reality, tigers give these animals a wide berth as they are simply out of a tiger's weight class. Then again, Shere Khan is an Adaptational Badass in this film, so those animals presumably aren't taking any chances.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
The Jungle Book (2016) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: The film opens with Bagheera chasing Mowgli to teach him for when he faces a hunting predator. In the climax, Mowgli is put on the run now by Shere Khan, in the same forest area even, which leads to it becoming a Chekhov's Gun. Man's affinity with fire is spoken of in hushed tones throughout the film, leading Mowgli to trying to harness it to use against Shere Khan. At the start of his journey, Mowgli witnesses a passing elephant herd and locks eyes with a baby elephant. He later saves that same elephant child after it falls into a pit, earning the gratitude of the herd. Just before Shere Khan ambushes them, Mowgli asks if the tiger knows him. As it turns out, Khan does know Mowgli, as he recognized him from when he killed his father, even mocking Mowgli by mentioning the murder. After getting separated from Bagheera, Mowgli discovers an enormous shed snake skin. Easy guess for who appears a scene later... Throughout the film, monkeys are in the trees watching Mowgli's escapades. They're spying for King Louie and reporting back what's transpiring. When the rains come back and Peace Rock begins to submerge, Mowgli watches a tree go over a cliff, temporarily stopping the water. Near the end, the elephants dam up the river with fallen trees to put out the wildfire. Bagheera explains to Mowgli why they should hold the elephants in high reverence, stating that they brought life to the jungle and made rivers with their tusks. Near the end, they do a variant of this by damming/diverting the river to put out the forest fire. When Baloo learns that Mowgli is going to the man-village, he warns Mowgli to be careful with fire. Mowgli later steals a torch and accidentally sets the forest ablaze. When Mowgli sees humans for the first time, they're indistinct, creepy silhouettes speaking an unknown language and dancing around a huge, frightening bonfire, much in the way a wild animal would see them. In the end he stays in the jungle because while he is human, they are no longer his people.

However, it eventually becomes more clear that Mowgli stirs his hatred specifically, because his father was the one who blinded him. Not that he was all that kindly disposed toward humans to begin with. Mowgli's attitude towards Shere Khan becomes this too. He was, at first, terrified of Shere Khan and willing to flee from him. However, after he discovers that he has killed Akela, the only father he has ever known, he becomes outraged and steals a torch from the man village, now willing to fight and kill the tiger.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_b56de77d	comment	Misplaced Vegetation: King Louie offers Mowgli some pawpaw fruit. While pawpaw is cultivated in India, it has been introduced fairly recently from its native range in Central America. Also counts as a Mythology Gag; in the second verse of "Bare Necessities" (from the original Disney The Jungle Book), Baloo sings, "When you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear / And if you pick a raw paw, then next time beware."

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_b8e3f20a	comment	Demoted to Extra: Hathi Jr. the kid elephant was a friend of Mowgli's in the animated film. In this one, the kid elephant that appears to be an analogue for him only appears briefly, with no lines. While Kaa didn't get much screentime in the original either, here, she only appears in a single scene. The quartet of vultures from the original cartoon do appear, but they no longer speak, and lack their comical, lighthearted personalities. They merely act as regular vultures that periodically follow Shere Khan. According to the subtitles and audio descriptions, Rama, the father wolf in the 1967 film, appears sporadically with the rest of the wolf pack here. Although he technically has more appearances, there is nothing that implies he is Mowgliâ€™s adoptive father in this version and never really does anything of importance asides from standing with the other members of the pack.

He kills Akela for refusing his demands to give Mowgli to him, and it is later revealed that he also killed Mowgli's biological father whereas the original Shere Khan was never shows to have killed any humans or animals (except for when he has to eat for food of course). And he implies to Raksha that he will kill her pups as petty vengeance for allowing Mowgli to escape his wrath.The original was an Anti-Villain who was implied to have a good reason to hate men whereas this version kills for sport. And unlike the 1994 film where he's an Anti-Villain who preserves the jungle law and even made Mowgli the new keeper, this portrayal willfully breaks the law if it doesn't suit him.

Word of God says this is to help the audience see the jungle through a child's perspective - the already-small Mowgli seems even smaller among such large creatures. Louie and Kaa are beyond massive. A Gigantopithecus is already much bigger than an orangutan, and Louie is even larger than that (a good 12 feet tall sitting down, while a Gigantopithecus was 9 feet tall standing up). For Kaa, this is in keeping with her book portrayal; the original Kaa was about that size and said to be hundreds of years old, and since reptiles grow their entire lives, it's possible, though improbable, that an exceptionally long-lived python could eventually get to that size. The various monkey species in the Bandar-log are not in scale with each other. The gibbons and macaques have been slightly scaled up so that they are large enough to kidnap Mowgli, but the langurs, which in real life are slightly larger than macaques, have been significantly scaled down.

In the 2016 film, she is unable to stand up to him when he threatens her and her cubs - though that has just as much to do with Shere Khan being an Adaptational Badass compared to his crippled book counterpart. One of Mowgli's wolf brothers - apparently the youngest - is called 'Grey' here. This is presumably supposed to be the wolf from the books whom Mowgli calls 'Grey Brother', except that in the books he grows up into a capable hunter and helps (indirectly) kill Shere Kahn. Here he is only shown as a tiny cub. Mowgli himself. In the book he could easily handle fire, and used it to intimidate both Shere Khan and his own pack. He also was far more independent, able to hunt and survive on his own. Movie Mowgli is a much more realistic child who has no idea how to handle fire and is far less independent.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_dbb414ed	comment	The herd of Asian elephants depicted is a bit odd as it's a combination of individuals with both long and short tusks. Generally only females will form herds like this, as males leave the herd upon reaching maturity. However, the longer tusks shown in the film only appear in males, while female Asian elephants are usually tuskless or have very small tusks (called tushes). This implies we're being shown either a mixed-sex herd (with the short-tusked ones being females), or one that is made up entirely of bulls which makes it unusual to see them with a calf in tow. Because this would imply the calf was orphaned, wasn't adopted by another female, and can survive just fine without milk. In addition, the elephants are portrayed with a "saddlebacked" profile typical of African elephants; Asian elephants have an arched back.

This may be because the original publication specifically referred to Baloo as a brown bear rather than a sloth bear (although it could be argued that by "a sleepy brown bear", Kipling was merely referring to Baloo's fur colour, not his species. The Other Wiki has a whole section on this, concluding that most of the evidence supports Baloo being a sloth bear).

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_ea24a918	comment	Lost in Imitation: Though a more faithful adaptation of the Kipling story than the 1967 Disney film was, the film still displays clear signs of being a remake of said film, such as Baloo being a laid-back and comedic character, Kaa being a villain, and King Louie existing at all.

It's mentioned that he kills for fun and sport instead of just for food, likes to intimidate for no reason other than to strike fear, and kills Akela even after he was told they sent Mowgli away so he wouldn't have to be bothered by his existence.

Though Mowgli is more devastated of Akela's death, which is understandable since he never really knew his human father, and he grew up with Akela's pack, therefore having more emotional attachment to the former.

However, Bagheera and Akela see it as "tricks" that disrupt the natural order of the jungle, and to some extent they're right â€“ Mowgli using his 'tricks' to help Baloo wipes out an entire cliff face of beehives in just a few hours. Eventually, Bagheera comes to accept his inventions as a part of him and encourages Mowgli to use them to gain an advantage over Shere Khan.

She manages to lull Mowgli into a false sense of security by inviting him to look into her eyes and learn about his past, but at the same time she tells him the complete truth about the "Red Flower" and why Shere Khan wants to kill him. It's because Mowgli's father scarred the tiger's face with a torch to defend his son at the cost of his own life.

The Jungle Book (2016) / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
The Jungle Book (2016) / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Due to its supposed connection with Bigfoot, Gigantopithecus is often depicted standing upright like a man. Here, Louie is depicted running on his knuckles like modern apes, which Gigantopithecus more likely did in real life. note It's impossible to be completely sure how Gigantopithecus walked, since all we have of it are its jaws and teeth, but considering its relationship with other apes, the knuckle-walking theory seems more likely. Unlike his original counterpart, Louie also averts Animal Gender-Bender by possessing cheek pads like male orangutans (though it is unclear whether male Gigantopithecus also possessed them, but given the genus's close relationship with orangutans, it's very likely). Baloo, and a few other animals, tell Mowgli to apply some honey to his bee stings as a treatment. Honey is actually used as a topical analgesic and antiseptic. Although Baloo's statement that "only female bees sting" does zigzag the trope as all bees are females, except the drones whose only purpose is mating with the queen and aren't normally flying in the nest's defense. In a sign of how much care was taken in designing the animal characters, Bagheera's spots are visible when the lights hits him just right. Kaa never blinks onscreen—real snakes lack eyelids, instead having a transparent scale over each eye called a "brille", and thus cannot blink. Also, pythons are known to be quiet snakes, which is reflected by Kaa's eerily calm personality. It makes sense why the jungle would look up to the elephants. Elephants are a keystone species that modify the ecosystem, such as clearing canopies for tree regeneration and keeping the plant population in check.
