That’s because they were both voiced by Sterling Holloway, who had been a regular voice actor at Disney for many years due to his distinct voice. It’s important to remember that Holloway debuted as Disney’s Winnie the Pooh only a year before the Jungle Book was released, and Disney couldn’t have known at the time that the former would become the juggernaut of a franchise it is today, leading to the cliché “Kaa is evil Pooh” jokes, which I think is a disservice to Holloway, as he made many of his characters sound distinct despite having the same voice thanks to subtle nuances in his delivery and inflections in each role, with Kaa having a distinct snake-like lisp coupled with his playfully sinister demeanor, compared to the naïve, sweet-natured and scattered-brained Pooh.

If you want a Jungle Book adaptation that is both well-made and close to the book, try the Soviet version. It has some changes (Bagheera is female, Mowgli's life in the human village is omitted, there is an entire temple scene with a cobra that wasn't in the books, at least in the version I've read), but it's fairly close to the source material othervise and is really enjoyable to watch, with stylish animation and great voice acting. I remember loving it as a kid, and would probably enjoy it as an adult too.
REALLY struggling mentally today, and this was exactly what I needed to make me laugh. These terribly animated and voiced 'films' deserve to have the absolute crap ripped out of them, and you, sir, are the elite. Thank you for always bringing quality reviews to things which, ironically, have zero quality.
I’m not sure if I’m completely dead inside or if I have major masochistic tendencies, I actually look forward to seeing a Bevanfield episode. I don’t know what it is about them that makes me love them so much!
Nice to know right off the bat that Turkey has their own version of "Brightspark Entertainment". Good point about Disney shying away from the doofy sidekick for once, too. Every single character looks straight out of a drugs PSA, which is amazing considering they're animals. And wow, Bevanfield, the ONE time you decide to actually draw DETAILS in a character's face, you end up with Baloo. Damned if you try, damned if you don't.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I agree, the Dingo bears have this rather derpy look to them that makes them sliiiiightly cute. For Dingo. But Baloo here looks like an unholy mutation between a bear, a gorilla, Peter Griffin and Jabba the Hutt. XD

Disney created one of the most loveable characters of all time with their version of Baloo Bevanfield created one of the most loathsome characters of all time with their version of Baloo
Considering these Bevanfield guys were able to work with Christopher Lee, you'd think they'd have gotten him to play Shere Khan or Bagheera for this one. Also, does this mean we're going to be seeing reviews for a certain other couple studios' adaptations of the Jungle Book?
Surely yes! We’ll all be waiting for Phelous to review the (rather obscure) 26-episode South Korean Jungle Book tv show that predated DQ’s Jungle Book by about 3 years. It featured Saro, who is basically a very pale Mowgli in all but name.
This movie looks like something you would see edited into a Creepypasta Video. Just take all the shots of the weird characters looking at the audience and add scary music, and you're pretty much done.
Okay is it just me or does Piglet the Rippers would be victim looks like she’s trying not to laugh? I keep re-watching it because it’s just so comical!
Oh God Mowgli is voiced by the late Susan Sheridan. She was best known in the UK for voicing the character Noddy in ‘Noddy’s Toyland Adventures’. Her Mowgli voice is the same as her Noddy voice. She also voiced one of the sisters in the Bevanfield Beauty and the Beast😮
I love how they try to make it closer to the book in some ways, but then Bagheera kills a ZEBRA for the wolves. You should check out "Shonen Mowgli" (80s Jungle Book anime) sometime, it has a lot of the animation models as Mondo World later used them. I'm not sure if it's the same studio, though, as Shonen Mowgli is actually pretty good; I wonder if Mondo World just traced their work. Anyway, it has one of the funniest explanations for the death of Mowgli's parents: Bagheera tries to lead them to their lost child and they're so scared by this big panther suddenly appearing that they step backwards and fall off a cliff.
No, there's actually a sad secret behind these animation models: The japanese animators from Nippon were kidnapped / forced into animating these models for the Korean studios Mondo employed.
@@TheMightyJRW Robin Hood - the Boyhood Adventures wasn’t only animated by Tatsunoko Pro, one of the all time anime studio greats, but also part-commissioned by Mondo.
All these years later and man, I'm still enjoying your reviews tremendously. Both these animated flicks as well as your collaborations with Sad Panda. Keep it up man, you own this style of reviewing and humour!
One minute Phelous is pointing out the stretched film pacing and animation mistakes. And then it all comes to a complete stop as he discusses the crime against nature of Baloo's design. Hilariously informative. ^^
Oh god. The moment I heard Mowgli's voice, I just hoped to god that Susan Sheridan wasn't actually dragged into this. And if anyone doesn't know who that is, British viewers would know her as the titular character of Noddy's Toyland Adventures, and as for the rest... Well, she was Princess Eilonwy in The Black Cauldron.
I am gonna take a wild guess with Baloo's design and say that the animators probably thought he was a gorilla until someone told them he was actually a bear, so they had to rush things up and we ended up with this abomination of a design.
Hey, Phelous, I don't normally comment all the time on your videos but just know, man, I fricking love you. I've been watching your Silent Hill, Foodfight, Puss 'n Boots, & Gingerdead Man videos so much that I can just say the entire episodes word for word, your comedy & intellect in noticing random things in movies & manage to make a great joke out of obscure things really makes me always come back to your awesome antics. Thank you so much for existing, Phelan, I wouldn't even be able to sleep without your videos too because they're so comforting! Your voice & jokes are what keeps me laughing some days when my situations are very grim to say the least. Keep doing what you do, brother, much love. 😊🤩
Regarding the mystery voice cast, the person who voices Mowgli sounds quite like the late actress, Susan Sheridan who voiced main characters in various kids TV shows like Noddy’s Toyland Adventures and Moomin. It doesn’t sound exactly the same as her usual work but that could be rubbish direction and sound editing (though that laugh after escaping the monkeys sounded exactly like Noddy’s laugh in the UK version of the show).
Tabaqui here looks like a bootleg Wile E. Coyote, which is funny because the Chuck Jones version straight up made him look like just a quadrupedal Wile E. Coyote XD
Looking at all that makes me really want to see you review Soviet adaptation of "Jungle Book", then "The Scarlet Flower" (a slavic retelling of "Beauty and the Beast") or their take on "Alice in Wonderland" and other cartoons done by Soviets. It's a microcosmos of its own.
Old Man: "But I will not include Soviet Beauty's father in my Beauty's Fathers Squad, because the Caspian Sea (largest lake) and Lake Baikal (deepest lake) make the Soviet Union completely useless now."
Mowgli: Baloo, please describe Bevanfield's animation style. Baloo: they do only the bare necessities, not more Mowgli: actually, I think this answer gives them too much credit Bagheera: be diamonnnnnds! Mowgli: we're talking about Bevanfield, not Dingo Bagheera: sorry. I always wanted to say that
Old Man Snake: 🎵 "Trust in MEEE! Just in MEEE!." Wabuu: "Don't eat Mowgli, you idiot! I need him to make red flower." Old Man: "I didn't know you like roses. I can get you one."
Shere Khan is ugly (actually, to be fair, everyone is ugly when he's animated by Bevanfield. Anyway,) that means he should be thrown into the red flower. He belongs into a great, big RED FLOWAAAH
one thing i've noticed with alot of these movies made to cash-in on Disney and similar is that they're often more true to the original text of the story, but the fact that they come across as really dull while the Disney versions are still beloved despite their changes and legitimate flaws shows that just being truer-to-text doesn't necessarily make it better than one that isn't. (i read a reprint of the original Jungle Book for the first time in years last summer and still remember most of the details and yeah, Bevanfield actually DID get most of the details; doesn't make the movie good, though) (incidentally, i sincerely recommend _The White Seal_ also by Kipling, another of the Jungle Book stories; i read it in detail for the first time at the same time as the original last year and it easily became one of my favorites :) )
Imagine if Bevanfield attempted to create their own version of Tailspin with these characters. I imagine it would be the perfect thing to put on at night to help you fall asleep.
One thing that bothers me: how come Dingo Pictures never made their own Jungle Book? I mean, they technically have all the assets they need: the black panther could be Bagheera, that bookworm snake from Der Koenig der Tiere could be Kaa, Mowgli could be portrayed by Tarzan (in his pre-teens, of course), X INTERRUPTING BEAR is obviously Baloo. Last, but not least, redraw black panther sprites to make Shere Khan and you're golden. Oh, and I'm sure we all agree that instead of Tabaqui there should be Wabuu. It's not a true to heart Dingo movie if it doesn't include that cheeky raccoon.
Dingo couldn’t make a jungle book movie because JetLag productions already made one years earlier. Instead, it did a short Tarzan ripoff movie with the titular hero and Linda adopting a Boy stand in at the end!
@AT Productions Sure, that remake was ok, I still found it lack luster. I agree, though still a lot better than this. But im not comparing to a single example, but over all. I found the majority to be pretty dull and soulless. But perhaps thats just me.
Funny you mention watching this to fall asleep to as that's how I use your videos. Not a negative, really a huge positive to me. Interesting enough to keep my mind from wandering but lacking excessive energy to keep me from falling asleep. Honestly thank you so much for the improvements to my rest you have facilitated, and I'm sure it's great for your watchtime too (:
I know they didn't list the voice cast, but I'm convinced Baloo is voiced by Michael Hordern who also voiced Monsieur Du Bois in Bevanfield's Beauty and the Beast.
Actually good book-accurate adaptation is Maugli, the Russian animated adaptation from the 70s. The animation and character designs are amazing, the music is gorgeous, and the pacing is actually well done. Just avoid the version that got an English dub in the 80s because that one removed all the music and went late 80s synthpop for some reason
I suppose we should feel grateful, though only so much, that this is Bevanfield and not Dingo, because if this were a Dingo production, Bagheera would be obsessed with DIAMONDS, and Baloo would be a constant INTERRUPTING BEAR...or, whatever bear-strosity he's supposed to be in this.

Even Jim Cummings the voice of Pooh bear and Kaa even said that Kaa is basically just sounding like evil pooh🤣😂
So that’s pretty accurate.
That’s because they were both voiced by Sterling Holloway, who had been a regular voice actor at Disney for many years due to his distinct voice. It’s important to remember that Holloway debuted as Disney’s Winnie the Pooh only a year before the Jungle Book was released, and Disney couldn’t have known at the time that the former would become the juggernaut of a franchise it is today, leading to the cliché “Kaa is evil Pooh” jokes, which I think is a disservice to Holloway, as he made many of his characters sound distinct despite having the same voice thanks to subtle nuances in his delivery and inflections in each role, with Kaa having a distinct snake-like lisp coupled with his playfully sinister demeanor, compared to the naïve, sweet-natured and scattered-brained Pooh.

If you want a Jungle Book adaptation that is both well-made and close to the book, try the Soviet version. It has some changes (Bagheera is female, Mowgli's life in the human village is omitted, there is an entire temple scene with a cobra that wasn't in the books, at least in the version I've read), but it's fairly close to the source material othervise and is really enjoyable to watch, with stylish animation and great voice acting. I remember loving it as a kid, and would probably enjoy it as an adult too.
That Cobra scene was in the second book, along with the slaughtering of the Red Dhole that also appeared in that adaptation.
Bevanfeild cartoons are pretty good sleep-aid.
REALLY struggling mentally today, and this was exactly what I needed to make me laugh. These terribly animated and voiced 'films' deserve to have the absolute crap ripped out of them, and you, sir, are the elite. Thank you for always bringing quality reviews to things which, ironically, have zero quality.
Glad it helped!
I’m not sure if I’m completely dead inside or if I have major masochistic tendencies, I actually look forward to seeing a Bevanfield episode. I don’t know what it is about them that makes me love them so much!
The worse the media, the more Phelous has to work with.
Tis the yippee beans!😂
Nice to know right off the bat that Turkey has their own version of "Brightspark Entertainment".
Good point about Disney shying away from the doofy sidekick for once, too.
Every single character looks straight out of a drugs PSA, which is amazing considering they're animals.
And wow, Bevanfield, the ONE time you decide to actually draw DETAILS in a character's face, you end up with Baloo. Damned if you try, damned if you don't.
Baloo, the SCENE INTERRUPTING ABOMINATION! Seriously, even Dingo could draw a bear that resembles a bear.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I agree, the Dingo bears have this rather derpy look to them that makes them sliiiiightly cute. For Dingo. But Baloo here looks like an unholy mutation between a bear, a gorilla, Peter Griffin and Jabba the Hutt. XD

Phelous, you deserve way more subscribers than you have already have. You should have at least 500k. You're really funny 😁
As a matter of fact: he is
I 100% agree😊
Disney created one of the most loveable characters of all time with their version of Baloo
Bevanfield created one of the most loathsome characters of all time with their version of Baloo
This movie could very well be the cure for my insomnia! Thanks, Phelous!
Considering these Bevanfield guys were able to work with Christopher Lee, you'd think they'd have gotten him to play Shere Khan or Bagheera for this one.
Also, does this mean we're going to be seeing reviews for a certain other couple studios' adaptations of the Jungle Book?
Surely yes! We’ll all be waiting for Phelous to review the (rather obscure) 26-episode South Korean Jungle Book tv show that predated DQ’s Jungle Book by about 3 years. It featured Saro, who is basically a very pale Mowgli in all but name.
This movie looks like something you would see edited into a Creepypasta Video. Just take all the shots of the weird characters looking at the audience and add scary music, and you're pretty much done.
Baloo really does look like Mr. Bear from 1999
Okay is it just me or does Piglet the Rippers would be victim looks like she’s trying not to laugh? I keep re-watching it because it’s just so comical!
She actually is laughing...it would spoil the episode to say why though. It's from the Star Trek episode "Wolf in the Fold"
Apparently the monkeys were voiced by Alfred Ashford. Lol
Their grandfathers were the original founders of umbrella.
Oh God Mowgli is voiced by the late Susan Sheridan. She was best known in the UK for voicing the character Noddy in ‘Noddy’s Toyland Adventures’. Her Mowgli voice is the same as her Noddy voice. She also voiced one of the sisters in the Bevanfield Beauty and the Beast😮
Wait NODDY?!😮 whoa
My god, it’s probably Susan Sheridan, the Queen of Noddy voice actors!
@@SlapstickGenius23 It definitely is her. As soon as Mowgli spoke I was like ‘Oh God that’s Noddy’
*Sees Bevanfield Baloo*
Ah, great to see a new horror review from Phelous
I love how they try to make it closer to the book in some ways, but then Bagheera kills a ZEBRA for the wolves.
You should check out "Shonen Mowgli" (80s Jungle Book anime) sometime, it has a lot of the animation models as Mondo World later used them. I'm not sure if it's the same studio, though, as Shonen Mowgli is actually pretty good; I wonder if Mondo World just traced their work. Anyway, it has one of the funniest explanations for the death of Mowgli's parents: Bagheera tries to lead them to their lost child and they're so scared by this big panther suddenly appearing that they step backwards and fall off a cliff.
No, there's actually a sad secret behind these animation models: The japanese animators from Nippon were kidnapped / forced into animating these models for the Korean studios Mondo employed.
Is that the same Mondo of Golden Child Infamy?
@@TheMightyJRW Robin Hood - the Boyhood Adventures wasn’t only animated by Tatsunoko Pro, one of the all time anime studio greats, but also part-commissioned by Mondo.
@@MediumRareOpinions I strongly say yes!
Imagine if Ice Age ended that way.

Watching your Bevanfield cartoon reviews while drawing…makes me feel like Walt Disney or Hayao Miyazaki compared to Bevanfield’s animators 😆
This "Jungle Book" movie ain't winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects.
All these years later and man, I'm still enjoying your reviews tremendously. Both these animated flicks as well as your collaborations with Sad Panda. Keep it up man, you own this style of reviewing and humour!
All the characters in this movie looks like they're drunk. I'm assuming Wabuu traveled to the Bevanfield universe and gave the characters alcohol
15:19 - Dat smug Bagheera face! Looks like those super chill cats from that weird "women pointing at cat" meme.
Tabaqui looks like he's hunting Roadrunners in his sparetime.
An entire video on a Jungle Book "adaptation" without a single Interrupting Bear joke. I don't know if I should be disappointed or impressed
Disapressed
One minute Phelous is pointing out the stretched film pacing and animation mistakes. And then it all comes to a complete stop as he discusses the crime against nature of Baloo's design. Hilariously informative. ^^
11:07 If there was ever a more fitting time to play the A&W Root Bear music!
I literally saw this as a kid and could never find it until finding out about Bevanfield
Oh god. The moment I heard Mowgli's voice, I just hoped to god that Susan Sheridan wasn't actually dragged into this.
And if anyone doesn't know who that is, British viewers would know her as the titular character of Noddy's Toyland Adventures, and as for the rest... Well, she was Princess Eilonwy in The Black Cauldron.
Susan’s the best Moomin voice for sure!
I am gonna take a wild guess with Baloo's design and say that the animators probably thought he was a gorilla until someone told them he was actually a bear, so they had to rush things up and we ended up with this abomination of a design.
The Bevanfield animators thought they were making a Tarzan movie modelled on the Weissmuller films, weren’t they?
Hey, Phelous, I don't normally comment all the time on your videos but just know, man, I fricking love you. I've been watching your Silent Hill, Foodfight, Puss 'n Boots, & Gingerdead Man videos so much that I can just say the entire episodes word for word, your comedy & intellect in noticing random things in movies & manage to make a great joke out of obscure things really makes me always come back to your awesome antics. Thank you so much for existing, Phelan, I wouldn't even be able to sleep without your videos too because they're so comforting! Your voice & jokes are what keeps me laughing some days when my situations are very grim to say the least. Keep doing what you do, brother, much love. 😊🤩
Krusty's charity hit single We're Sending our Love Down that Well is dedicated to Mowgli whom is stuck halfway to hell in that humid jungle
Knowing Bevanfield, I bet it will be just as exciting as reading a book in the jungle. Also...
Shir Khan: ROAAAAAAAR!!! Wolf: Oh it's you. -_-
Regarding the mystery voice cast, the person who voices Mowgli sounds quite like the late actress, Susan Sheridan who voiced main characters in various kids TV shows like Noddy’s Toyland Adventures and Moomin. It doesn’t sound exactly the same as her usual work but that could be rubbish direction and sound editing (though that laugh after escaping the monkeys sounded exactly like Noddy’s laugh in the UK version of the show).
The female wolf sounds like one of the voices from Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Catherine Flye. IDK if it's her but it sounds like her.
I haven’t played Oblivion in a long while, and I’m not really familiar with the voice actors, but I agree, the wolf’s voice does sound familiar.
What is the fine for necrophilia in this part of Tamriel? 🎵

He straight up looks like a DePatie-Freling character.
Looking at all that makes me really want to see you review Soviet adaptation of "Jungle Book", then "The Scarlet Flower" (a slavic retelling of "Beauty and the Beast") or their take on "Alice in Wonderland" and other cartoons done by Soviets. It's a microcosmos of its own.

Wabuu: "Don't eat Mowgli, you idiot! I need him to make red flower."
Old Man: "I didn't know you like roses. I can get you one."
Shere Khan is ugly (actually, to be fair, everyone is ugly when he's animated by Bevanfield. Anyway,) that means he should be thrown into the red flower. He belongs into a great, big RED FLOWAAAH
Raksha: hmmm, I'll adopt it and take it with meeeeeeeeeeeeee
one thing i've noticed with alot of these movies made to cash-in on Disney and similar is that they're often more true to the original text of the story, but the fact that they come across as really dull while the Disney versions are still beloved despite their changes and legitimate flaws shows that just being truer-to-text doesn't necessarily make it better than one that isn't. (i read a reprint of the original Jungle Book for the first time in years last summer and still remember most of the details and yeah, Bevanfield actually DID get most of the details; doesn't make the movie good, though)
(incidentally, i sincerely recommend _The White Seal_ also by Kipling, another of the Jungle Book stories; i read it in detail for the first time at the same time as the original last year and it easily became one of my favorites :) )
You know you're on a roll as a cartoon when Feliz has to use the "major ursus" track twice within 5 minutes. I love that track. 😂
making random roaring noises is probably one of the reasons Derek Jacobi left this off his IMDB. Also Noddy is Mowgli.
Man, I love turning my head from side to side all the time.
Turns me on~
😂me too. I bear-ly notice
When you're too lazy to swing your arms from side to side and Do the Mario.
@KasumiKenshirou I’d rather do The Retirement.
Imagine if Bevanfield attempted to create their own version of Tailspin with these characters. I imagine it would be the perfect thing to put on at night to help you fall asleep.
One thing that bothers me: how come Dingo Pictures never made their own Jungle Book? I mean, they technically have all the assets they need: the black panther could be Bagheera, that bookworm snake from Der Koenig der Tiere could be Kaa, Mowgli could be portrayed by Tarzan (in his pre-teens, of course), X INTERRUPTING BEAR is obviously Baloo. Last, but not least, redraw black panther sprites to make Shere Khan and you're golden. Oh, and I'm sure we all agree that instead of Tabaqui there should be Wabuu. It's not a true to heart Dingo movie if it doesn't include that cheeky raccoon.
Dingo couldn’t make a jungle book movie because JetLag productions already made one years earlier. Instead, it did a short Tarzan ripoff movie with the titular hero and Linda adopting a Boy stand in at the end!
@@SlapstickGenius23 I don't see how one rip-off could stall another one. It's not a matter of who comes first, after all.
Wow, riveting! It has all the emotion of a disney remake!
@AT Productions Sure, that remake was ok, I still found it lack luster. I agree, though still a lot better than this. But im not comparing to a single example, but over all. I found the majority to be pretty dull and soulless. But perhaps thats just me.
@@kagehikari4281 A lot of them are soulless really. Except for the 1996 remake of 101 Dalmatians, which looks to be "So Bad It's Good" material.
@@ExtremeWreck a lot of that is down to Glenn Close and Hugh Laurie's performances. She really steals the show in every scene she's in.
@@MediumRareOpinions LMAO definitely one of those hilariously terrible movies!!!
@@MediumRareOpinions yeah I remember that🤣
Funny you mention watching this to fall asleep to as that's how I use your videos. Not a negative, really a huge positive to me. Interesting enough to keep my mind from wandering but lacking excessive energy to keep me from falling asleep. Honestly thank you so much for the improvements to my rest you have facilitated, and I'm sure it's great for your watchtime too (:
I feel like the voice actor for Mowgli is the same person who used to do the voice for Noddy back in the 90s
Somehow hearing Mowgli speak with an American accent does not take me out as immediately as hearing him speak like a pip-pip Brit does.
We don’t talk like that 😅
I know they didn't list the voice cast, but I'm convinced Baloo is voiced by Michael Hordern who also voiced Monsieur Du Bois in Bevanfield's Beauty and the Beast.
It's most likely Geoffrey Matthews.
It's the same voice as Bevanfields Lamp-Genie in Aladdin and The King in Princess in the Pea
@@TheRoflcer I'll take your word for it. I'm not going to check. Watching a Bevanfield movie is an utter chore. I'd rather watch a Dingo Movie.
Yeah thats Geoffrey Matthews as Baloo alright him and Michael Hordern have different tones to the their voices
Mowgli looked like he was possessed by The Evil Dead when he floated up into that tree.
Cheers for another great vid Phelous.
10:34 Hey look, Fu-Fu from Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat has an uncle!
Actually good book-accurate adaptation is Maugli, the Russian animated adaptation from the 70s. The animation and character designs are amazing, the music is gorgeous, and the pacing is actually well done. Just avoid the version that got an English dub in the 80s because that one removed all the music and went late 80s synthpop for some reason
Well, I watched the Maugli movie in its original Russian, since its cast in the same language is just amazing.
14:31 "Just you wait til I get you in my coils! You'll get a damn good beating!"
This was action packed!
I suppose we should feel grateful, though only so much, that this is Bevanfield and not Dingo, because if this were a Dingo production, Bagheera would be obsessed with DIAMONDS, and Baloo would be a constant INTERRUPTING BEAR...or, whatever bear-strosity he's supposed to be in this.
