Crazy Credits
The film ends on a shot of Mowgli, Bagheera, and Baloo resting on a tree branch which then transitions into a illustration from the exact same book of "The Jungle Book" that was featured in the opening of the original animated Disney film. It even is situated in front of the same blue curtain-like background. After it is briefly closed, it is then opened again as characters from the film, including a singing King Louie, dance to the song "I Wanna Be Like You" over the first part of the end credits.

This film tells the story of a boy who lives in the jungle, and is brought up by wolves. One day, a fierce tiger comes to threaten his safety, and he embarks on a journey in order to save his life. Along the way, he makes friends with different animals, and together they all fight against the fierce tiger.
"The Jungle Book" is clearly targeted at younger children, as scenes are clean and dialogues are simple. I don't think there was even an adult in sight, which makes it reminiscent of "The Nightmare Before Christmas". The story is straightforward and simple, animals are all friendly to each other, except the fierce tiger who is the big bully. As I am way older than the target audience, I find it a little plain and not very captivating. Perhaps it is because I do not like talking animals!
