Woolie and the rest of the Nine Old Men influenced immeasurably so many of us animators and animation artists. We continue to appreciate them and discuss them and analyze their great work at 'classical hand drawn animation' forum (do a search).

For some reason Sher Kahn's growls at the beginning of this part sound more like a bear, especially if you've listened to the bear in Fox and the Hound

@TaranWanderer2 I meant Chief in "The Fox and the Hound."

@KTChamberlain They were known to reuse audio quite often during those years...f'r instance, some of the sound effects in Aristocats are taken verbatim from the battered house in Sword in the Stone, as was the storm in Sword in the Stone reused for Blustery Day's rainstorm, as was the Sherriff of Nottingham (who repeats the 'there's something fishy going on aroudn here' twice, the church bells at the end of Robin Hood copied from Cinderella...

No comment on reusing. But woolie did it often.

@trollheimer Funny the things you go through first in your career. :-P

It's sad that Walt Disney died during The Jungle Book's production but i give thanks to him for letting Woolie to carry on with the film and to keep the Disney studio together so they could make other features like the Aristocats, Robin Hood, Fox and the Hound, the Rescuers and The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

I wouldn't go that far in Baloo's case, but I agree with what Michael Barrier (who, granted, is kind of impossible to please) said about this scene----that it feels like a chickening out because they reveal Baloo's alive too early. Thus, you're unsure if you're supposed to be touched by Bagheera's eulogizing, or laughing at Baloo's reveling in it, so you're sort of left suspended between the two.

(I still crack up at "I wish my mother coulda heard this," though.)

[TaranWanderer2]

Baloo being alive at the end of "The Jungle Book" pretty much ruined a very beautiful scene for me, in an otherwise rather boring storyline. The same with Chief in The Jungle Book escaping with just a few injuries, because no longer did Copper's wrath seem justified.

Sometimes, I wish they'd been less afraid to tackle death with some characters, as likable as they might have been (which Chief wasn't).

Bruce was also the first voice of Christopher Robin in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons. Bruce only voiced him in "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree".
