The Jungle Book	comment	A collection of stories published in 1894 by Rudyard Kipling, primarily about a Wild Child named Mowgli, and followed by a sequel, The Second Jungle Book, in 1895. Not to be confused with the novel The Jungle by Upton Sinclair.The stories detail Mowgli's childhood and youth; of his upbringing with the wolf-pack and his battles with the great lame tiger Shere Khan; of his friendships with Bagheera the panther, Baloo the bear, and Kaa the python; of his abduction by the Bandar-Log of the Cold Lairs and his great war against the Dhole; and of his meeting with the White Cobra and his vendetta against his old people. Not all of the stories concerned Mowgli; the most well known exceptions being "Rikki Tikki Tavi" and "Toomai of the Elephants" in the first, and "The Miracle of Purun Bhagat" and "The Undertakers" in the second.In 1900, Kipling wrote a stage adaptation of the Mowgli stories which he never published or produced. It was finally discovered among his papers and published in 2000 as The Jungle Play.The original work is out of copyright in many countries, including the UK and the US, so Mowgli and friends are now Public Domain Characters.note In Kipling's native UK, the copyright originally expired in 1986, 50 years after his death, but then copyright was extended to 70 years so his works went back into copyright until the extended term expired in 2006. In the US, the copyright expired in 1951.The Jungle Books were instant hits and remain popular today, more than a century after they were conceived by Kipling. There are endless debates about the quality of Kipling's prose and poetry, his politics and racial views, but the books are still considered classics.Zoltan Korda turned The Jungle Book into a live-action movie using real animals in 1942, giving the part of Mowgli to Sabu, the star of The Thief of Bagdad (1940). See Film.Jungle Book.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.On the other hand, the great animation genius, Chuck Jones, produced three animated TV specials in the 1970s, Mowglis Brothers (1976), Rikki Tikki Tavi (1975) and The White Seal (1975) that were much more faithful to the original stories.There is also a Soviet animated series called [1], that is extremely faithful to the stories and to the general mood and style. No human-like mimics in animals here. However, some of the animal characters changed their gender — most notably, Bagheera is female (since the word "panther" is always feminine in Russian) in this adaptation. Rikki Tikki Tavi has also been adapted twice in the Soviet Union: first, as a 1965 cartoon, then, in 1975, as a live action film.An anime series based on the books was also created. Jungle Book: Shonen Mowgli, though somewhat more faithful to the original novels than the Disney adaption, takes a similar more whimsical atmosphere, as well as expanding the cast and plot line to fit its over fifty episode long run. The anime aired during the late eighties and early nineties, amusingly around the same time Disney recycled some of their concepts adapted from the books for The Disney Afternoon series TaleSpin.There was a live-action 1994 film based on the Jungle Book, called Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book. It was directed by Stephen Sommers. While taking elements from the original books and the 1967 animated film, it had a very different storyline. It mostly focused on Mowgli's (Jason Scott Lee) life after leaving the jungle: having to become accustomed to life in British-colonial India and attempting to woo upper-class love interest Katherine Anne "Kitty" Brydon (Lena Headey). See The Jungle Book.An unrelated film called The Second Jungle Book: Mowgli & Baloo (1997) was released, possibly to cash in on the popularity of the above. It featured a still pre-teen Mowgli (Jamie Williams) pursued by the recruiting agents of a circus. The film performed poorly in theaters, but proved a hit in the video market. Which explains why there was yet another live action film, Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story (1998), a straight to video production. It featured Brandon Baker as Mowgli and various voice actors speaking for the animal characters. Despite featuring well-known actors such as Clancy Brown and Nancy Cartwright, it seems to be the most obscure of the three (though ironically the nearest Disney got to a faithful rendition of the novel).More recently (2010), there has been an Indian-made CGI TV series comprising 15-minute episodes, very loosely based on the stories and aimed at younger viewers.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).There have also been several comic book adaptations, including an issue of Classics Illustrated (1951), three issues of Dell Four-Color (1953-5), a serialisation in Marvel Fanfare (1980s), and three Second Jungle Book stories adapted by P. Craig Russell (1985-96).Besides The Jungle Play, a high number of stage adaptations have been created, including A dzsungel kÃ¶nyve in Hungary.

He also serves as Shere Khan's cunning spy and messenger, with Mowgli himself even acknowledging this fact. Shere Khan himself; though considered an egotistical fool by many, he's still a great hulking tiger who's a known man-eater responsible for the deaths of many people, to the point that he was known amongst the people of India and the government even offered a reward for whoever killed him. The animals did not consider him harmless either, as Bagheera had to repeatedly remind Mowgli that Khan was a very dangerous enemy.

This doesn't stop all of the illustrators from drawing a North American Muskrat in all of the pictures. The Russell graphic novel features zebra, a strictly African species, in one panel.

The Jungle Book / int_2ae29c0d	type	The Dreaded
The Jungle Book / int_2ae29c0d	comment	The Dreaded Bagheera is one of the most feared (and respected) creatures in the entire jungle. The giant rock python Kaa (who is first an ally and later a friend of Mowgli's) is feared by many, but absolutely terrifies the monkeys. When they outnumber their enemies a hundred to one, they'll fight Baloo or Bagheera, but they will not fight Kaa — at any odds. The bees, called the Little People of the Rocks. The place they live is called the Place of Death and everyone avoids it. Shere Khan actually averts this, despite being Mowgli's most famous enemy (mostly thanks to the Disney adaptation, where he most definitely is this trope). Most of the animals make jokes at his expense and don't take him particularly seriously because he's lame in one paw. Mowgli himself is able to stare down Bagheera, something Bagheera admits is unique among all animals. He also seems immune to some animal abilities like Kaa's hypnotism. Mowgli's wolf mother is nicknamed The Demon. Even a pissed-off Shere Khan is not willing to take a chance against her when she stands up to him. (Granted, she did just have cubs, which would make her more protective, but it still applies considering Mowgli is a human and not her own cub.)

The Jungle Book / int_565106b3	comment	Women Are Wiser: Two from "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi": Protagonist example: Darzee... helps, but spends the majority of his time making up songs about Rikki-tikki's bravery. Darzee's wife actually interferes and improvises a plan that allows Rikki to attack the cobra's nest and eggs, and swoops down (in the middle of one of Darzee's songs) to waylay Nagaina enough that Rikki can catch up. The narration notes that if Darzee was paying attention and helped his wife, they might have turned Nagaina around. Antagonist example: Nag's ambush plan is smart, but leaves him open and vulnerable to an attack by Rikki-tikki with almost zero collateral damage and Rikki kills him easily enough. Nagaina forces Rikki into a Sadistic Choice of either the family getting bit or himself getting bit if he tries to save them, and Rikki only gets out of that with a Take a Third Option and reveal he destroyed the egg-patch. Even then, after a bit of scuffling, Nagaina is smart enough to take the remaining egg Rikki used as bait and run, forcing Rikki-tikki to dive into the cobra's nesting-hole where she could possibly kill him if there was ever a place to turn around.

Being named Frog does refer both to his hairless skin and to his "amphibious" life between the worlds of the Jungle and that of Man.

There's even a loophole in the law of the jungle to let them do so. Shere Khan, being a coward at heart, has eaten many people, but usually only when that day comes. In "Letting in the Jungle", Buldeo goes off to hunt Mowgli and the wolf pack after claiming he's a sorcerer and devil. Mowgli, the wolf pack, and Bagheera end up driving Buldeo crazy, with the wolves and Bagheera howling and roaring around him just out of sight, while Mowgli frees his adoptive parents in the village then enlists the animals to systematically destroy the village where Buldeo lived.

The Jungle Book / int_9c45b5a2	comment	What Measure Is a Non-Human?: In the stories, all animals have sapient intelligence like humans. But humans are still treated as objectively worth more than non-human animals. Especially in Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (A mongoose goes to kill two cobras who want to kill the humans in a bungalow so that they can raise their children.) Probably justified in this case, since the cobras would also be a potential threat to Rikki Tikki as well. Plus, the humans had saved the mongoose's life and so they deserved his protection for that matter at least. "The Undertakers" (as well as some of the Mowgli stories) adapts India's caste system and has the animals apply it to themselves as well. Other stories, such as "Her Majesty's Servants" and "Toomai of the Elephants", imply the animals actually know a bit more about what's going on around them than humans think they do, with varying degrees of respect for the humans themselves.

The Jungle Book / int_cb70651c	type	Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane
The Jungle Book / int_cb70651c	comment	Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The British officer that serves as the narrator of "Her Majesty's Servants" is only the second human in the books that can actually understand what animals are saying (the first and only other one is Mowgli), saying he learned animal-speak from native Indians and is basically translating what the varying species are saying to each other. Not even Purun Baghat has this. "The Miracle of Purun Bhagat" discusses this and plays with it. The inhabitants of the village Purun Bhagat eventually settles near consider him a holy man due to his close connection to the animals of the region (magic). But the author notes Bhagat becomes friends with the animals because he doesn't startle them, doesn't intrude on them, respects their space, and shows no intent of harming them, so they trust him (mundane). Then, after the mundane side is explored, Purun Bhagat is able to round the animals up to help save the entire village from a flood, but they listen to him a little more than such wild animals normally should. Played with and deconstructed in "Quiquern"; the Inuit are portrayed as somewhat superstitious, and every supposed magical occurrence has a genuine explanation, of which the narrator is quick to give. The deconstruction comes towards the end, when the clan's sorceror says it was his magic that brought Kotuko and the girl to their find, and no one in the clan argues because they're so weak from starvation they just accept whatever reason presents itself for Kotuko's success. The lone exception that doesn't go explained is the dog-madness, nor a full explanation of how Kotuko the dog and the black second-in-command got sober again.
