Well, not many people know this, but the original script and ending and ending for Disney's version was gonna much darker and far more loyal to Rudyard Kipling's masterpiece. For example, it would include characters like Tabaqui, Messua (Mowgli's mother), Buldeo, Jacala and Grey Brother. And there were songs such as "Brothers All", "Song of the Seeonee", and "The Mighty Hunters". And speaking of the original ending, it was gonna feature Mowgli being followed and forced by Buldeo the hunter to lead him to the treasure chamber under monkey city, but Mowgli would distract Buldeo and Shere Khan attacked, killing the hunter. Mowgli would then use the hunter's rifle to shoot the tiger in the face, killing him instantly.
Kaa was a reticulated python not a rock python, he was actually two centuries old, and if I remember right, it was stated he's 30 feet long. Also, Hathi had three sons not two.
Thanks for re-uploading this, James. If I didn't have my strike or if Dailymotion allowed videos longer than an hour, I would've done so. But in the end, who better to reupload this than the creator of From Pages to Pictures HIMSELF. :D
58:49 he's referring to The Jungle Book Shōnen Mowgli. It's on UA-cam and is 95% accurate (5% as The ancient ruins story is altered and there are some more characters etc.) Just finished watching that anime and came to this! Thanks for making this video.
Nope. I was actually referring to the Russian animated adaptation "Mowgli" which was released at around the same time as the Disney version. It's up on UA-cam, too! :)

@@Hewylewis I disagree with Khan, first I can buy that the jungle is completely harmless if Khan is the soul reason Mowgli is going to the man village, but the fact that he doesn't even show up until the last third is not only lazy but eliminate any sense of dread, we never see physical demonstration of why he's so dangerous instead he acts like he owns the place wich rings hollow, and he just weakly bitch-slaps everyone and then runs away like a Pussy! Aside from the songs the original jungle book aged like milk, wich is why both the direct to DVD sequel and the live action remakes don't Khan better because they not only made them constantly active hunters always on the tail of their pray but actually show why the hero needs to get away from them!
This is the movie where my phobia of snakes originated. Funny enough, this movie made me afraid to look my grandma in the eye...for a time at least. Why, do you ask? Well, her voice sounded eerily a lot like Kaa, who was voiced by Sterling Holloway. In my 4-year-old mind, I thought Kaa disguised himself as my grandma--think Red Riding Hood, but with a snake instead--and I was afraid that if I looked her in the eye I would be hypnotized and eaten alive. Years later I found that not only did she sound like Sterling Holloway, she even looked like him when he was in his old age. What do you make of that?
Fox Kids also had a live-action version of The Jungle Book set in modern day (if memory serves, Mowgli made friends with American kids who just arrived in the jungle and together they stop both human and animal baddies, but it's been a long time since I've seen it). And the Disney version spun off into Tailspin and Jungle Cubs. I always wondered why Jones's version was so different from Disney'. Now I know. Great review!
The remake definitely improves on Mowgli's character. First, he is shown to be capable of making and using tools to get by in the jungle, which serves him in the climax. Second, his refusal to go to the man village is more understandable, as he's leaving the only family he's ever known. It works, because we've gotten to see how much he loves them and they love him back, making the decision to have to leave, due to Shere Khan, more heartbreaking than it was in the original film. Finally, though he still has the temper and bratty attitude he had in the original animated film, the movie gives him more chances to show his positive qualities, like his loyalty and bravery.
I greatly enjoyed his arguments and summary between book vs movie but he left out a small but important piece of Mowgli's story where he meets and marries the daughter of someone, I forgot who the father is, and Mowgli returns to the jungle with his bride and the scene ends with a group of hunters discovering her with the pack of wolves and a naked baby boy.
I've got good news and bad news about the Mowgli movie. The good news is its not all that bad as the elements from the books are used pretty decently. The bad news is it was a straight to Netlfix film, depending on which country you live in that is.
Hewy has no idea how strong a tiger is. While it might be possible for a large enough wolf pack to defend itself from a tiger, neither bears nor leopards can stand up to tigers. In fact tigers will _prey_ on leopards and bears.
In Latin American spanish dub (wich is different from "castillian" or "spaniard spanish") the same actor, the late great Carlos Petrel, voiced Shere Khan in the sixties and Scar in the nineties, and he changed his voice and pitch so much (to sound almost identical to Sanders and Irons) that only a few know he voiced both.
invadertak1001 I agree. My favorite episode is one of my favorite stories from the second jungle book. It's from the story Red Dogs. Tells the story of how Mowgli and his pack stand against an army of Dholes
Believe it or not there's actually an anime adaptation from the 80s called Shonen Mowgli, not much to say about it but it does follow the Kipling stories more than the movie did, though I haven't watched the entire series I've only skimmed and even skipped a Bunch of episodes and only stopped at the most important scenes.
There's also an adaption from Jet Lag productions, which is very close to the book. I love that anime series, I watched it on VHS back in the 90's and I felt was alot better than the 1967 version.
@Jordan Fazende Though both are somewhat faithful to the books, the South Korean-American made golden films version, even if it’s still annoying, is pretty decently executed (and actually made the animals act like the furry subculture) in comparison to the British made Bevanfield version, which is a straight knockoff of Chuck Jones’ Mowgli’s brothers.
robert white There are also films like the Soviet Mowgli and the American Chuck Jones’ Mowgli’s Brothers, both of which are definitely faithful to the books. You would also be surprised that I watched the DQ Entertainment Jungle Book show on Australia’s ABCMe! The animation for such a popular French-Indian coproduction is actually pretty good as I can tell.

@@SlapstickGenius23 Dana Delany herself played bagheera in one version.
I can''t argue with Mowgli behaving like a pest, or in your words like a selfish pompous twerp. Hech, that also reminds me why we should never be watching Caillou since he demonstrates a similar bratty behaviour also. But less said about that show, the better.
The sequel did have Mowgli be less of a brat and more mature. Also, tigers hunt sloth bears and are rivals of leopards so Baloo and Bagheera can't be enough to take Shere Khan on. Leopards and wolves are smaller so they don't stand a chance. I like the sequel.
But-- wait a minute. . . Doesn't the deer that Shere Kahn is stalking in 1967 resemble another character that's none other than . . . Bambi's mother? Who could EVER FORGET Bambi's Mother? And, DANG!! If Bambi's Mother was as protective of Bambi himself as Raksha is protective of Mowgli, then-- People, WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM!!
Warner Bros was originally gonna release Mowgli last month in October, but they probably feared a bomb and sold it to Netflix which will release it next year. I mean it delays things, but it’s better than it being completely cancelled or something.
3:08 The moment Disney adapts just about any story they get their hands on despite being rarely close the sources, the story would become “intrinsically connected” to Disney. I don’t think there’s a single non-Disney version of a story which Disney adapts that people would be familiar with. If you ask people about like for example Snow White, Pinocchio, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty, The Princess and the Frog, etc, MOST not all will say it’s a “Disney film”. Disney Like has the most overhype of any company of all time. For generations peoples lives and childhoods would have Disney as part those. Why would anyone even ask “Disneyfied or Disneytried”(not to mention those reviewers are huge Disney fans) when they’ll still find the story “intrinsically connected” to Disney. This company is rather overhyped, not that it’s necessarily bad, but it has so much popularity just like that.
Meester Feesh What about a few of the British corporate colonialists then? They’re gonna be even bigger villains than Buldeo, so they can be included in the film as well. It’s because they’re the probable greater scope villains of the story as a whole, just like some of them were in real life during India’s British Raj era.
You should have mentioned the last story in the Second Jungle Book 'letting in the Spring' when Mowgli comes to terms with returning to the humans for good.
Hewy Toonmore would you look at the original Russian dub or the English dub. Because I want to know what are thoughts are on the English dub since it has Scott McNeil as Sher Khan and Sam Eliot as Kaa.
Hey man, great video, if you want to see a close adaptation to the jungle book stories, it's an anime TV series called shonen Mowgli in it's original language but its still called jungle book
You should check out The Jungle Book anime. While I myself haven't read the original, based on what I've heard, it's much more accurate to the source material. It's probably my favorite adaptation of the Jungle Book, alongside Disney's 2016 Remake.
A few corrections. The Letting in of the Jungle is not the conclusion, hell you missed one amazing story in which MOwgli goes to war with the wolves, who redeem themselves by driving off the invading Red Dog, with the strategic counsel of Kaa. Mowgli returns to his human mother afterwords and becomes a civilized man. Also, the Letting in of the Jungle itself is a long process, taking months to accomplish. The herbivores slowly destroy the fields, and the predators force them ever onward. The elephants destroy the grain stores, and in the end, the humans are forced to flee ,after consulting a wise man of the jungle. Oh and check out the Russian version, its almost completely accurate to the two stories.
If I had mentioned those stories, the video would be WAY longer than it already is. As for the Russian version, its the one I was talking about that I would review some other time.
@Dcuniverse60 I never said it was important. However personally since I don't like reading books, I'd like to have some media I consume be as close to the source material as possible so I don't feel like I'm missing out. Which is why I watched this video of the book and movie being compared so I know what was left out or altered. It's also fun to see the creativity of different authors and seeing the original vision put on screen, and you can't do that if the story is changed too much.
Oh man this video was how i found out about hewytoonmore so i am happy this video exsits and yea this is my reaction as well 6:29 and a little face sloth bears are really aggersive in fact they have been knowen to face tigers and trust me they can be very dangeros
Personally, Mowgli’s attitude doesn’t bother me personally and I can understand why he would react that way. If you suddenly got tall, do you have to leave the only home you’ve ever known because of some random tiger you’d probably react that way as well, or at least I would, especially as Bagheera waited till they were away from the wolves before telling him!🤦♂️
Great video! Were did you find the audio recordings? Was it an audio drama they released? Or friends of yours doing the voices? It’s very high quality!
Sorry Hewey, but tigers are stronger and they have sharp claws. I bet Shere Khan will tear up Kaa's hide in mere seconds. Plus, Shere Khan can't be hypnotized. So Kaa won't stand a chance. But a Anaconda might.
Knowing George R.R. Martin I'm guessing Robb Stark's direwolf Grey Wind is a nod to Grey Brother, especially since Robb, like all the Stark children including Jon Snow, shares a special bond with his direwolf, but I could be wrong.
This was something I was waiting for someone to do on UA-cam, Sure I've read it once, but I wish we were taught that book at school. I did thought it was nice, especially when you got to the plot elements and explained the lessons/morals in the story. I tried looking up that online, I did found a few but trying and to read it didn't seem to clear to me. Though there were some things I liked to address, though mostly nitpicks. The part of feeling annoyed with Mowgli, I can understand your reasons and this guy's reason's kinghuffy2.deviantart.com/jour… (A person I follow and is making his personal adaptation) but then again it may be a bit logical because like when we move to a new home, and we wouldn't want t move because that was the home we grown up with. Also, Mowgli did act like that in the beginning of Kaa's Hunting. Also there were some potential for some jokes ad things that were left out, but you don't need to have them. But these were some idea but the panther as a pet joke, I would've had the "Financial panther" joke from The Simpsons. Or the famous wedgie scene, I could've pointed out by saying "Here's the scene that inspired many meme pictures on Deviantart, making it like Kaa's coils unintentional pornography." The thing's ou missed was even though the vultures were made for the film they were inspired by Chil the Kite. Mostly because they are both predatory birds that are good friends. And technically Gray Brother does make a brief appearance in one of my favorite moments in the film, the doggy kiss scene. Also, the Vultures do have names you know, Buzzy(bald 0ne), Ziggy(brown feathers wig), Flaps(blonde or yellow feathers wig) and Dizzy(the one you called Ringo). Lastly I thought Shere Khan's real name Lungri was pronounced "lung-gree", like "hungry". Though how I put it makes sense since this tiger us hungry for vengeance. That's what I have to say, other than thatit was still a good review.
@@SlapstickGenius23 You sure, because he's only white in any illustrations that are just black and white. In colored illustrations, he's always been orange.
Maybe it's because disney doesn't want to make thier version of jungle book darker and blooded liked the original book and desided to swap the bear and the lepord so it can be made for kids which I don't liked the disney version
The Disney movie is my fav movie ever so I don't think I would like the original book baloo the bear in the 1967 movie is my favourite Disney character ever I like him as a carefree bear
It nice to see someone else who has read both jungle books

“Hell the kid can’t even climb a tree”
To be fair he was raised by wolves and I don’t remember wolves ever climbing trees
Except in those outrageous Alpha and Omega sequels.
Kaa was a reticulated python not a rock python, he was actually two centuries old, and if I remember right, it was stated he's 30 feet long. Also, Hathi had three sons not two.

True, but he probably wouldn’t have hesitated to eat Baloo if he had succeeded in killing him.

For the sequel of Jon Favreau's movie, they should do the story where Mowgli massacres the village.
And include Buldeo!

That's the one I said I would look at another day. :)
Hewy Toonmore would you look at the original Russian dub or the English dub. Because I want to know what are thoughts are on the English dub since it has Scott McNeil as Sher Khan and Sam Eliot as Kaa.
TheTitandragon100 I'm still debating that.
You should do the Fox and the Hound :) now there is a difference!!
IKR!?!?
Why in all these reviews do I find the good time jetlag production version of these stories are more faithful to their source material
Yeah I Know Right Bagheera Is His Friend He Should Have Listened To Him And Gone To The Man-Village
Mowgli had go to his own kind the man-village
Kaa is roughly nine meters long
Hey man, great video, if you want to see a close adaptation to the jungle book stories, it's an anime TV series called shonen Mowgli in it's original language but its still called jungle book
But of course it still has some differences
What are your thoughts on the 2016 Disney remake and its portrayal of King Louie and Shere Khan.
RandomGfan 19 mine, personally I prefer the remake over the original
Same here, the remake does a lot more justice to Kipling.

Hell yeah, I'm excited.
Hewy Toonmore Do you know about The Jungle book anime series?

I think movie portrayal of Kaa is just stupid and annoying. Also make a pedophilia metaphor out of it is almost to easy. And that's no good at all.
the Netflix movie Mowgli was more accurate.

If you suddenly got tall, do you have to leave the only home you’ve ever known because of some random tiger you’d probably react that way as well, or at least I would, especially as Bagheera waited till they were away from the wolves before telling him!🤦♂️
6:26-6:34 This was my favorite part.
Does what he said in this vid hold up to the NEW live action remake?
I dunno. Ask him.
I love Jungle Book both Kipling and Disney can you do a movie review Disney The Jungle Book 2 please?????
I’m sure Kate is a beautiful horse
Still can't understand Shere Khan, despite talking to him in the final product.
Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have had his voice pitched so low, or maybe not have it be so gruff.
Isn't Hathi neutral character.
9:40 How does that not get ripped off!? 🤣😂
Great video! Were did you find the audio recordings? Was it an audio drama they released? Or friends of yours doing the voices? It’s very high quality!
Sorry Hewey, but tigers are stronger and they have sharp claws. I bet Shere Khan will tear up Kaa's hide in mere seconds. Plus, Shere Khan can't be hypnotized. So Kaa won't stand a chance. But a Anaconda might.
We're talking about a novel, it's fiction not real life. And yes, in the book Kaa is feared by every animal including Bagheera and Shere Khan.
Love this!
What did you and Hewey think of the 1994 Jungle Book film?
This took A LOT of work, that's for sure...
So in other words andy serkis version is more close to the book
Knowing George R.R. Martin I'm guessing Robb Stark's direwolf Grey Wind is a nod to Grey Brother, especially since Robb, like all the Stark children including Jon Snow, shares a special bond with his direwolf, but I could be wrong.
Is Infinite from Sonic Forces perhaps based on Tabaqui?
Right now since for me right now it’s 2018 Andy Serkis jungle book movie is going to be on Netflix
I kinda feel bad for mowgali
I believe that it's on purpose there no straight answer to mowgli being thier son Kipling might be letting the readers using thier imagination
The disney version of kaa might be not a few hundred years old
11:03 59:14 i love that song
This was something I was waiting for someone to do on UA-cam, Sure I've read it once, but I wish we were taught that book at school. I did thought it was nice, especially when you got to the plot elements and explained the lessons/morals in the story. I tried looking up that online, I did found a few but trying and to read it didn't seem to clear to me. Though there were some things I liked to address, though mostly nitpicks. The part of feeling annoyed with Mowgli, I can understand your reasons and this guy's reason's kinghuffy2.deviantart.com/jour… (A person I follow and is making his personal adaptation) but then again it may be a bit logical because like when we move to a new home, and we wouldn't want t move because that was the home we grown up with. Also, Mowgli did act like that in the beginning of Kaa's Hunting. Also there were some potential for some jokes ad things that were left out, but you don't need to have them. But these were some idea but the panther as a pet joke, I would've had the "Financial panther" joke from The Simpsons. Or the famous wedgie scene, I could've pointed out by saying "Here's the scene that inspired many meme pictures on Deviantart, making it like Kaa's coils unintentional pornography." The thing's ou missed was even though the vultures were made for the film they were inspired by Chil the Kite. Mostly because they are both predatory birds that are good friends. And technically Gray Brother does make a brief appearance in one of my favorite moments in the film, the doggy kiss scene. Also, the Vultures do have names you know, Buzzy(bald 0ne), Ziggy(brown feathers wig), Flaps(blonde or yellow feathers wig) and Dizzy(the one you called Ringo). Lastly I thought Shere Khan's real name Lungri was pronounced "lung-gree", like "hungry". Though how I put it makes sense since this tiger us hungry for vengeance. That's what I have to say, other than thatit was still a good review.
Thank you for your input and I'm glad you enjoyed the review. :)
Hewy Toonmore Your welcome.
Tyler Rakstis Shere Khan was a White Tiger in the books with a not so useful leg.
@@SlapstickGenius23 You sure, because he's only white in any illustrations that are just black and white. In colored illustrations, he's always been orange.
Peter Pan should be part of this video series
55:25
not to mention all that fanart on deviantart of kaa doing the same thing to any other character other than mowgli.
The Jungle Book 2 live-action July 10, 2026
Hope the characters that are cut from the Disney original make some screen time
Hewed toonmore? You have TWO channels?!
Maybe it's because disney doesn't want to make thier version of jungle book darker and blooded liked the original book and desided to swap the bear and the lepord so it can be made for kids which I don't liked the disney version
The Disney movie is my fav movie ever so I don't think I would like the original book baloo the bear in the 1967 movie is my favourite Disney character ever I like him as a carefree bear
54:16 54:26
