Line 7:
A 1967 [[Disney Animated Canon]] feature film.
Based on a collection of stories of the same name published around 1893 by [[Rudyard Kipling]], Disney found ''[[The Jungle Book (novel)|The Jungle Book]]'' and loved at least some of its ideas, so they chose it for [[Disney Animated Canon|one of their]] [[Animated Adaptation
One of Disney's most publicized features, the film spawned two [[Animated Series]] [[Spin-Off
Also notable for being the last Disney film made while [[Walt Disney]] was alive (although not the last he worked on; that would be [[The Aristocats]].)
Line 86:
* [[Happily Ever Before]]
* [[Honorable Elephant]]: Colonel Hathi and his troops. Particularly Hathi, himself.
* [[Humans Are
* [[Hypnotic Eyes]]: Kaa.
* [[Incoming Ham]]: "That's what frieeeeeeeeends...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[[Evil Sounds Deep|are for]]."
Line 116:
** Also implied again in the sequel, this time on heckling vulture Lucky:
{{quote|'''Shere Khan:''' [[Slasher Smile|Isn't it ironic that your name is "Lucky"?]]}}
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Mowgli's name is actually pronounced MAO-gli, not MOH-gli. Mow rhymes with cow. Rudyard Kipling's daughter allegedly never forgave Disney for this mistake, though it's hardly their
* [[Odd Friendship]] / [[Odd Couple]] / [[Interspecies Friendship]]: [[Red Oni, Blue Oni|Baloo and Bagheera]], who start the first movie knowing but not particularly close and end the movie good friends through taking care of Mowgli - though if ''Jungle Cubs'' is to be believed they were always friends but not too close in the movie's beginning. Whether or not they are the [[Odd Couple]] or just an [[Odd Friendship]] depends on whether one considers them or Mowgli the major protagonists.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Most epically with Shere Khan after he discovers a big burning bush on his tail.
Line 164:
** Lucky in the sequel is a brainless [[Screwy Squirrel]] who spends the majority of his role taunting Shere Khan over his defeat at the hands of Mowgli ''as up close as possible'' inadvertently giving him directions to the mancub's location in the process (before falling victim to a rather nasty beating).
* [[Tranquil Fury]]: Disney picked George Sanders specifically for his ability to give Shere Khan a sinister yet simultaneously swave and gentlemanly demeanor. He finally loses his cool during the climax, if still more in the form of a haughty snit fit than an outright [[Villainous Breakdown]].
* [[Villain Ball]]: Kaa twice over was nearly successful in making a snack out of Mowgli, his tendancy for [[Large Ham|aloud and attention grabbing]] [[Evil Gloating]] or catchy [[Villain Song
* [[Villain Song]]: "Trust in Me (The Python's Song)".
** Khan himself would have had one in an early version of the film, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMSQfxDLc4k "The Mighty Hunters"].
