as much as i love the jungle book as it is, i kinda wish Bill peet's version could be released in like a book, Jungle Book adapted by Bill peet or something.
I'm in the process of reading the original Rudyard Kipling Jungle Book (courtesy of the iPhone app "iBooks") and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, although I'm amazed at the sort of "personality-swap" between Bagheera and Baloo; Baloo is a sort of wise teacher of the laws of the jungle, but Bagheera is more of a carefree personality.
Thumbs up if you think the original beggining with Bahgeera and the wolves rescuing Mowgli would have been a better one than the one they actually used and Rocky the Rhino should have been in the part with the vultures.

In my ideal version, Rockie is the Vultures's best friend who fights Shere Kahn instead of Baloo at the end. He nearly dies when gets thrown against a tree but then Baloo arrives and revives him. Then they wach Mowgli scare away the tiger and when Mowgli leaves, he stays with the vultures.
My one regret that they made a new story as apposed to the original try at re-writing the story is they cut Rocky the Rhino. As a kid, I wanted to see arhino or hippo or gazelle or something in the movie that wasn't there.
I would have liked to have seen the dramatic opening, maybe as an extra feature. But I think the idea of cutting down the action to spend more time on character development was a good idea, especially since Baloo at least is among the greatest Disney characters.
@yamiyugifangirl lol it's on the VHS too I think, maybe a shortened version, but I remember watching the video, then watching this after the credits XD
Did Bill Pete and Walt Disney ever made amends? I always heard Pete was furious at Walt for creative differences for the changes he did to this movie, but did they ever patch things up before Disney ever die?
This world is crazy is itn't?

It's werd, in Kipling's version, Kaa is Mowgli's mentor and helps Bagheera and Baloo but Pete and Disney made him a villian. I wonder why?
