Funny on how the only closest adaptation that in anyway closely resembled the book was a 1989 animated European-Japanese series, The Jungle Book: The Adventures of Mowgli (Shonen Mowgli). For in this show, a lot of the major characters actually closely resembled the characteristics of the novel counterparts, such as Kaa being for a friend/mentor to the Boy Cub, Baloo being a bit more strict and kind to Mowgli, and Bagheera having a past where he was raised by humans but escaped.
Kaa is completely different in the books and is a friend of Mowgli. Always found that change to be very odd and just felt like "Big snake must be bad."
I grew up with the Jungle book . The Disney cartoon is my dad's favorite Disney film, I personally love Disney's 1994 retelling . when i was in my early 20's I read the novel by kippling and it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy darker then Disney, but as a book lover I very much enjoyed it .
Rudyard Kipling actually wrote more than four Mowgli stories. There were eight total, but only three of them made it into The Jungle Book. But Kipling later published The Second Jungle Book, which included the other five Mowgli stories as well as additional non-Mowgli stories. The treasure chamber storyline is from the Mowgli story titled "The King's Ankus." Incidentally, two years after publication, Kipling decided he didn't like the way the stories were arranged, so he changed the books so that all the Mowgli stories were in the first volume, while all of the non-Mowgli stories were in the second volume. Unfortunately, most publishers today are either unaware of this or just don't care, because they go with the arrangement from the original publication. It's quite sad really.
My favorite was the 1994 version, how did it minimize the role of animals? I thought it did a very good job of sending the message that we should respect animals, even the final line of the movie was about keeping the jungle law
I agree with u Monterey Songs n Such Where Khan was never evil to begin with in my eyes I mean truly think about it all over social media we see baby cub tigers portrayed as innocent & cute & friendly since the day they were born correct? But throughout their entire lives just like in the 1994 which in my opinion is my personal favorite of The Jungle Book just like Mowgli said "Shere Khan has a accepted me does not see me as a man, but as part of the Jungle" why? Cuz I have watched those TV commercials about saving tigers getting trapped in those deadly teeth like traps like in The Fox of the Hound with the adult fox Todd but what happened to Amos Slade the hunter he ended up falling into it & realized from adult Copper the hound dog that animals who are known to be evil villains like Shere Khan help us as children then adults growing up watching The Jungle Book is hey have we ever considered the fact that Shere Khan's lifetime & previous parents like mother tigers & father tigers along with siblings were killed & hunted for sport food money if not worse I read in a magazine that people in Africa use 🦧 ape skulls to sell to people who travel there as souvenirs to buy with money home?! What???? How cruel & depressing to see in reality today in the year of 2021 that's why I prefer watching my fav CZcams channel The Dodo which talks about good mankind saving different types of varieties of wild & domesticated animals which I tbh find phenomenal & tear jerkingly beautiful don't u think???
Well the first 3 films mentioned also took elements from the sequel, The Second Jungle Book. The treasure in the ancient ruins was from the King's Ankus, and in the first adaptation, takes some inspiration from Letting in the Jungle. Jon Favreu's remake included an element from How Fear Came.
Tarzan is a bit trickier to compare and contrast than The Jungle Book. There are films that loosely adapt the plot of the first book and stray from the way the characters are written, and there are films at after Tarzan’s origin where these character details are more faithful to what the E.R. Burroughs conceived. Still, it would certainly be an interesting video to see!
@@oscarstainton not only is Tarzan such a hard character to stimulate, he is trademarked and belongs to a book series that still exists to this day thanks partly to ERB fan Winn Scott Eckert.
🙏 I'd love to see "Sense and Sensibility"... Or , better yet, "The Count of Monte Cristo" (have four versions of the film on DVD and *_NONE_* match up with the book!)
первый вариант 42 хорош (хоть актёру не хватала опыта), второй вариант 94 красивый фильм от Соммерса ииз чётвёрки (на мой взгяд лучший) 16 и 18 года (особенно 18!) полное ДЕРЬМО!! да графика красивая (в 16) НО это единственный плюс а в 18 и графика хрень! а за сравнение автору этого ролика большое спасибо.
I have fond memories of the 1994 version, which is a hidden gem.
My favorite

I like all the adaptations of The Jungle Book. They’re all dope 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯. But my favorite ones are 1967, 2016, 1994 and 2018
1994 still & will always be my favorite.
loving all this recent content!

Thank you for all your videos! They’re so fascinating!
I've gotta go with 1994. Real animals surpass CGI every time.

Animals are our friends if not pets who are domesticated family
love the new mic/audio! it sounds so good!

Although I've never watched the 1942 or 1994 adaptations, I enjoy Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (2018) the most.
Great video as always! :D now i wonder what a Tarzan analysis would be like.

I love all films. To hell with what books have
Thanks for sharing!
Mowgli is the most faithful to the book. It's a direct adaptation.
You seem to forget that the 1994 film was also done by Disney and it was their first live action remake before the 2016 version.
I think I enjoyed the 2018 version most.
Good
The best is still the one of 2016!I'm going to see it at the cinema
Baloo = Hagrid
Bagheera = McGonagall
Kaa = Dumbledore
Shere Kahn = Voldimort
🙏 I'd love to see "Sense and Sensibility"... Or , better yet, "The Count of Monte Cristo" (have four versions of the film on DVD and *_NONE_* match up with the book!)
The 1975 Richard Chamberlain Count of Monte Cristo is pretty close the most you can do without being three hours Long
Or gothic horror novels like Dracula, Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
2016 jungle book went all the lion king on us
I remember jason scott lee played bori khan in mulan (2020)
The 1st and 2nd movie were my favourites
My favorite version of the story 2018,1967,2016
The 2018 version didn’t premiere on Dozens of Movie Theaters in the USA. It only premiered in 2 somewhere south in New York.
rudyard kipling jungle book 1942 rudyard kipling jungle book2 1994
The Jungle Book 2016
mowgli lenged of the jungle 2018
I never even knew about the 2018 one!
Well If you’ve got Netflix Watch It. You should Enjoy Mowgli. It’s the closest version to the Book from 1894!
Why was the 1998 one not on the list
Just to annoy you
Because it’s a straight to video film.
I agree with you
No mention of the Chuck Jones version?
I like 1994 the most
0:54 What is Mowgli from The Jungle Book (1942) wearing?
1942,1967,1994,2016 and 2018 are the movies from. Four as live action and one cartoon
There's also a 1980's animated tv series called Jungle Book: Shonen Mowgli, that is much closer to the source material than the movies.
I'm currently reading a combined book with Call of the Wild and White Fang. I'd love to see a video of these movies compared to the book!

They’re interesting. But there’s just 1 problem. 5:46 This last one didn’t premiere to any of the Selected Movie Theaters.
The Jungle Book (1942, 1994, 2016, 2018, 2023)
I do not see Shere khan as a villain but the human hunter is more evil.
1942 is so far ahead of its time!
What’s even funnier is that it probably has the inspiration behind King Louie, an orangutan who leads a group of monkey.

What about the 1967 animated version? How could you forget that one and its sequel?
They mentioned in the video that they were only covering live action versions.
And the Chuck Jones animated Jungle Book stories.
The 1994 film is done by Disney and is their first live action remake.
The Jungle Book 2 live-action films (2022)
the live disney version was full of anachronisms: the term gigantopithecus wasn't known until 1932.
первый вариант 42 хорош (хоть актёру не хватала опыта), второй вариант 94 красивый фильм от Соммерса ииз чётвёрки (на мой взгяд лучший) 16 и 18 года (особенно 18!) полное ДЕРЬМО!! да графика красивая (в 16) НО это единственный плюс а в 18 и графика хрень!
