One has also forgot my grandfather Dallas McKennon as one of the monkeys, he also was the sound effect of the fly that lands between a Dawn Patrol elephant's eyes who was also used in "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" short. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realar (talk • contribs) 19:51, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Highest Grossing Animated Movie
When adjusted to inflation, Jugle Book is the highest grossing animated movie of all-time during its first run. Shouldnt this mentioned on the article?

Well, yes, the film beat the Snow White record until it was beaten by The Rescuers with one million over. Then An American Tail, The Land before Time, The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, and finally Shrek 2. That's why I added an reference.

...there should be a plot section. Table3 18:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Prose
This page needs some prose. I'm tempted to give it a stub, but someone can fix it. Also the title in other languages is not encyclopedic. See the featured article discussion for The Lion King. --Supernumerary 01:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Some Confusion
Most websites consider the girl to be Shanti from The Jungle Book 2 but is not in the opening credits it says the girl is unamed it is a huge confusion due to Shanti looking a lot like the girl to many people but it's not Shanti.

-From Mrsanitazter

HOW does it differ from the book
It makes it a point in the begining of the article that the movie is based very loosely on the book. I think its worth write a section that deal with the simularities and differances of each. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.26.83.36 (talk) 23:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

Actually, it differs from the book so much that the list of similarities would be shorter than the list of differences. - Don golgi 22:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism?
The bit "( some people believe the hypnotizing scene/ process leads to sexual desire, and encourages homosexuality)" looks like vandalism to me. If it's not, it is at the very least badly punctuated. 62.181.255.64 13:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree. It's also using weasel words. Fcarolo 15:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * The Hypnofetishism article cites this scene as a major influence on the fetish, and from what I've seen it's true, but neither the article nor I can cite any reliable source on it. Lee M (talk) 17:19, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Thurl
This article says that Thurl Ravenscroft did the singing voice for Shere Khan, but Thurl Ravenscroft notes specifically that he didn't. Does anyone have any proof? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.147.92 (talk) 13:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Tidying up
I just removed the "fact" that some of the music was provided by The Beatles - that little nugget had escaped for nearly a month. I'm also not happy with this paragraph from the Songs & Music section - In the scene where Bagheera and Mowgli believe that Baloo is dead as well as Bagheera funerals Baloo, Paul J. Smith's organ score from Walt Disney's first film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is heard from the scene where the 7 Dwarfs mourn Snow White on her bed before she is put into the glass coffin. - anyone got an idea what that means? -- Snograt  talk here 19:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Beatles cast as vultures
Were the Beatles ever signed to play the Buzzie, Ziggy, Dizzy and Flaps? This is stated in both The Jungle Book (1967 film) and The Beatles in film. "Dropped out at the last minute" (as it says) implies the deal was well-known and more or less confirmed, so verification should exist somewhere. The characters are obvious Beatle parodies, which may have inspired some editor to perform a bit of original research.

If someone can source it for this article, The Beatles in film also needs a the same reference. / edg ☺ ☭ 00:16, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Appearing at the furry convention Anthrocon in 2008, animator Floyd Norman was asked about the Beatles possible appearance in the film. He said he and others were given Beatles albums to listen to but when Disney was asked about it he said he wasn't sure if the Beatles would be a flash in the pan or not; he didn't know if they would still be popular in a few years. Thus it was changed to a barbershop quartet.

Budget: $20 million
A budget of $20 millon in 1967.Could that really be correct? It sounds to be awful much. 84.48.35.203 (talk) 11:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC) There's no way on planet earth it could've cost that much.The Fox and the Hound (film) cost $12 millon,and that was in 1981.It's probably about $4 millon.68.220.162.180 (talk) 22:10, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Plot
There seems to be themes derived from the stories of Moses and Sargon, etc. 3 August 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.74.228 (talk) 22:28, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
