Why?.Aye! My heart is heavy with the things I don’t understand.” The jungle is shut to me, and the village gates are shut. He sings, “the Man Pack have cast me out.

After killing Shere Khan, Mowgli skins the tiger, spreads his hide on the wolves’ Council Rock, and sings a mourning song. However, the book continues with Mowgli’s struggle to live in the jungle where he is never seen as fully animal. While much of the initial plot is similar in both the book and the movie, the movie ends with Mowgli finally defeating Shere Khan, albeit using less gruesome methods than in its predecessor. Small details aside, there is a fundamental difference between the book and the movie – its ending.
For example, you may not have known that Kaa, the python, is a friend of Mowgli’s and not Shere Khan in the book. But chances are, the Disney version has remained a little too relevant in our collective memory of the story. The point is, you know of The Jungle Book you know of Mowgli, the boy who grew up in the jungle and was raised by animals. The Jungle Book was even one of the first in a series of live-action remakes Disney would go on to make, although the eerie life-like CGI coupled with a lack of emotive animal characters received mixed reactions. Although initially released in 1967, the charming tale of Mowgli being raised by his loving companions Bhageera and Bhaloo is an enduring film in Disney’s catalog to this date. If you grew up in the 90s or 2000s, chances are you were raised on a healthy diet in Disney movies, including The Jungle Book.
