In the episode " King Larry Swings In," they are a band about to perform until they are chased out by King Louie's twin brother King Larry. The vultures have appeared in House of Mouse. Right after Lucky is attacked and apparently killed, the other vultures fly away in horror (though at the near the end of the film it is revealed that he survived). The vultures try to tell Shere Khan otherwise but to no avail. He ignores their warnings and they begin to leave themselves until Lucky mentions Mowgli in the jungle. Later on Lucky begins to taunt Shere Khan yet again but the Vultures, knowing Shere Khan's power, begin to worry and call Lucky back to the trees. The vultures introduce Shere Khan to Lucky who continues to make remarks until Shere Khan vanishes. They are first seen as Shere Khan is making his way to the man village to extract revenge on Mowgli. The vultures once again appear in the jungle, this time accompanied by a new member, Lucky, who takes every opportunity he can get in making fun of Shere Khan. In the end, they remark how dull it's going to be without Mowgli around, and go back to wondering what they should do to pass the time. To lift Mowgli's spirits, they sing That's What Friends Are For, accidentally giving Shere Khan enough time to discover and corner Mowgli.Īs Baloo holds off Shere Khan, the vultures take Mowgli to safety and then help him scare the fierce tiger away with fire. Hurt, Mowgli walks away, not caring if they laughed, and the vultures feel sorry for him, sympathizing with him since they themselves aren't always the most popular animals in the jungle. They eventually spot Mowgli and decide to investigate him, at first poking fun at his "stork"-like legs. Weren’t we all scared of the cartoon Share khan already? The 2016 Share Khan sends shivers down our spine with the 3D virtual animation look and nerve wracking sound effects.Close to the end of the film, after Mowgli escapes from Kaa, the four vultures are bored and trying to think of something to do (a running gag consists of Buzzie asking Flaps "so what are we gonna do?", only to get an "I don't know" in response). The Baggy of 2016 scares its predators with just a drop of the hat. The over protective panther Bagheera epitomizes a father figure to Mowgli in both the versions but with a scarier look and even wilder moves in the latest flick. Not much has changed over the 50 years but we see a bold and sincere bear with a mature outlook than before. The friendly,funny lump of hair cracking silly jokes Baloo of the 60’s has always been our best friend. The 60’s adaptation stands true to Kipling’s original tale with the same a male python Kaa helping Mowgli thorugh his quests but the latest one swaps the role with voices of Scarlett Johansson and Priyanka Chopra in the respective English and Hindi versions. Our recollections of the 60’s Mowgli has always been the cute little feral jungle child hopping around with his jungle buddies while the 2016 Mowgli remains cute and lovable as usual but the disheveled look with scratches all over matures our imaginations of the jungle in a bit lost and discomforting manner. Here’s a few things that will tell you how Jungle Book’s characters transformed over the years giving an entirely different memory to generations then and now. Same story,same plot,same characters, same drama and same emotions yet an experience with a stark difference – Disney’s Jungle Book tells a lot more than just Mowgli’s story over the past 50 years.



We all must remember the time when we sang the necessity song along with Baloo dancing around in their weird animal moves or the scary roar of Share Khan that would drive chills in our body.ĭisney strung our imaginations with engrossing adventures and jaunty animations in its cute classic 1967 cartoon version and 50 years later yet again charms us with its magic through the serious live action version of Kipling’s classic. Rudyard Kipling’s original classic tale of Mowgli has always been a favourite among generations even today making Mowgli the dream superhero of every young child. Head to the wilderness again with Star Movies special marathon of Disney’s Jungle Book versions both the classic animated Jungle Book (1967) and the live action reboot animation version The Jungle Book (2016) on the 26 TH OF January, 2016 at 1 pm and 3 pm.
