Action hots up as the animals fight back to preserve their territory. It's a difficult trek, but greed drives them on to the secret place. The athletic Mowgli with the agility of a leopard in his jungle home is forced to lead a party of soldiers to the monkey palace where untold treasure has been accumulated. The film gives some hope for the future when Mowgli (reared by wild animals) and Kitty, a sweet English girl fall in love.
After all, the jungle is their territory. The animals of the jungle seem to be the most maligned, but somehow get the upper hand. Most of the humans in this film are depicted as tiresome bores, courageous only when their finger is on the trigger of a rifle. It's really about the laws of man and the laws of the jungle and the divergence of opinions which continue even today.
The Jungle Book has been made into a number of film and TV versions, and a sequel to the book, The Second Jungle Book, contains more stories about Mowgli and other jungle creatures.What a rollicking adventure story this film is - straight from the pages of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books and as uncomplicated as any schoolboy adventure yarn. In general, animals talk about killing others for food.
Creatures hunt and kill each other in suspenseful scenes, but almost all violent acts happen "offscreen." In one scene, Mowgli uses his wits to trick an adversary into being killed by a stampeding herd of cattle the animal's death is not shown, but Mowgli is later described skinning the animal. These wonderful stories, which alternate with lyrical poems about the characters, depict a complex and sometimes dangerous natural world in which creatures must respect the "ways of the jungle" in order to coexist. However, in part because of the charming movie, Mowgli's stories are probably the best loved and best known pieces in the collection. Parents need to know that Rudyard Kipling's book of short stories The Jungle Book is far less whimsical (and musical) than Disney's classic animated film, and it includes stories with different central characters besides Mowgli, the "mancub" raised by wolves and befriended by Baloo the bear.
