Goodtimes always has this weird knack for having *almost* good character designs that are then ruined by having the cheapest animation imaginable. Still, cheap hand drawn animation has a charm to it that cheap CGI doesn't, so that's something I guess.

[@lotus-prince]

In the original story, they shunned Mowgli because they saw him communicate with animals in their own language, so they thought he was some kind of demon. So Mowgli was like "Wow, fuck you guys, I saved your village and this is how you thank me?" and he just goes back to the jungle.

This does stay pretty close to volume one of the book, which is a plus. I think it's implied in the books that the village woman wasn't Mowgli's birth mother, though - she just lost her kid to the jungle many years ago, and assumed Mowgli to be his reincarnation or something. Also, I believe the book ended with him not returning to the old pack, but starting his own with his wolf siblings (there was also a last-minute remark about him re-joining the humans and scoring himself a wife eventually). Still, out of all the versions, the Russian one is my favourite, despite the changes to the source material. It just has so much style.

Really says something to how much the Disney Animated Canon has influence over the stories it adapts for a cheap cash in movie from 20-30 years later IS considered a cheap cash in.

I surprisingly kinda enjoy Kaa's design here. It's surprising that of all of the animals they could have chosen, the one that ACTUALLY looks the closest to what it's supposed to be... Is one of the least obvious. Anyways, I like how it's probably the only one of these adaptations that has a realistic looking animal. The rest look okay in general, while Mowgli is just hideous.

[@fluffyman85]

Ah this did the whole "Mowgli deciding to stay in the jungle rather than the man village" thing years before the Jon Favreau and Andy Serkis Live-Action Jungle Book films did.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Well, that’s an unexpected first for a jungle book film adaptation! It must’ve been interesting if not for the turgid animation.

[@oroontheheels]

I also like how he abandoned pink slave girl. Poor thing probably never had friends and it was the only act of kindness she had in whole life. But why stay for her, when he can play with wolves all day lol

[@SlapstickGenius23]

The former wage-slave girl is more like a partial Expy of Jumeirah from the Jungle Book anime than being inspired by the Disney character Shanti.

My old local thrift store had both the VHS and DVD of this movie. I did them a service and took them off their hands.

[@ragzartofficial]

Underrated joke, not even a minute in. This is why I love you Phelous

[@XxStarlightshyxX]

Okay but why does Mowgli look like that? 🥴 Phelous' "Halloween" edit was very fitting and it sent me. I had to replay that part like 10 times. 🤣

His parents are on the high position.

[@EysteinKN89]

Thank you Phelous, new episode and another deep dive into the Goodtimes Entertainment rabbit-hole! And their take on The Jungle Book

[@SlapstickGenius23]

I wonder if Phelous will do a viewing of GoodTimes’ own Jungle Boy, a Canuck ripoff of both Baruuba no Bōken and the Monogram bomba the jungle boy films!

[@maggieallen5985]

Maybe I’m just partial to Chuck Jones’s animation style, but that’s my favorite Jungle Book adaptation I’ve seen thus far. It’s even narrated by Cricket Crocket!

[@daliborjovanovic510]

If anyone is wondering why the whole bit with Kaa and the Bander-log feels so disconnected from the rest of the story, that's because it IS XD The original Jungle Book and its sequel were a collection of shorter stories, most of which focused on Mowgli and his allies and foes in the Seeonee jungle. The average Jungle Book mockbuster mostly follows the plot beats of "Mowgli's Brothers" and its sequel "Tiger! Tiger!" but they also shove in "Kaa's Hunting" as the middle third to pad out the runtime, even though the latter short story really has nothing to do with the whole Shere Khan/wolf pack/man village arc outside of starring some of the same characters (Mowgli, Bagheera and Baloo). They mostly do it because Kaa and the Bander-log were featured in the Disney version, so they are expected to show up at some point. It's no different than watching one of those throwaway anthology films you would get on VHS that just combined a few random episodes from an episodic cartoon and called it a movie. Or more specifically, it's like slapping some random 11-min episode in the middle of a two-parter to make its runtime roughly an hour. If these people cared, "How Fear Came" would make for a better tacked-on middle third, or they could make the last third be "Letting in the Jungle" or "The Spring Running", or some combination of the two.

[@thecolourfulpill]

Sorry to bother you, but now I'm curious on whether the Disney sequel is based on the stories that didn't make it into the original. I could google it, but I feel like I would end up having no straight answear 😅😅. This question is banking on the possibility of you having seen the sequel, but wtv.

[@daliborjovanovic510]

@@thecolourfulpill No, the sequel has absolutely nothing to do with the other stories or those from The Second Jungle Book. It's mostly just a half-baked repeat of the first movie.

[@thecolourfulpill]

@@daliborjovanovic510Okay, thanks for replying! I haven't seen that movie in years and the only thing I remember is that I had a massive crash on the girl character, despite her being a pain in the ass (I was like 7 the last time I saw the movie, just to be clear) 😂.

I grew up watching this version! As a kid I always thought it was Disney, but then after watching their version I realized I didn’t remember any of it. Took me years to find out that it was GoodTimes.

[@imaginary-name]

im russian and having phelous mention our soviet union mowgli cartoon is not what i expected today

[@omoidashu]

I came across that version on KZbin years ago and thought it was beautifully done. More true to the story than most but the art was just STUNNING!

[@imaginary-name]

@@omoidashu yeeess it is a very beautiful animation, honestly a lot of Soviet Union cartoons are awesome with a very inspired and masterful art direction

​@@omoidashu Who would expect Pocahontas to having cougar, coyote, bison and eagle as her animal friends ??? This is Mondo World Pocahontas, and in Mondo World Pocahontas there are no Meeko the raccoon, Flint the hummingbird, and Grandmother Willow, since these characters are a purely Disney creation, which mean that only Disney can use them
