For instance, Bagheera's story about being raised in a cage in the King's Palace is told in Netflix's Mowgli but is completely ignored in Disney and Favreau's Jungle Book. While Netflix's movie is obviously centered on Mowgli's story, it takes time to flesh out all the other characters in his life - which is something Disney's Jungle Book never does. However, in Disney's Jungle Book, only Bagheera accepts and educates Mowgli.
In both Netflix's Mowgli and Kipling's book, the Law of the Jungle states two non-related animals must take responsibility for the man-cub, and that's what Baloo and Bagheera do. Taken from The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book, Serkis' Mowgli starts off by primarily following the short story Mowgli's Brothers, which chronicles Mowgli from the time he was accepted among the wolves - thanks to Baloo and Bagheera, who bought his life by capturing a bull - to when he was exiled due to using fire to attack Shere Khan, thus bringing shame to the jungle. Netflix's Mowgli Is More Accurate To The Books
Despite the unevenness in its story, Netflix's Mowgli is a much more accurate adaptation of Kipling's Jungle Book novels than any other mainstream movie adaptation in the past, which primarily means Disney's animated Jungle Book movie from 1967 and Favreau's live-action Jungle Book movie from 2016. It took many years, but it's now out and available to audiences worldwide.Įven though Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle earned some brutal reviews, it's a decent story and an ambitious take on the iconic Jungle Book character. Several years ago, Serkis aimed to tell the definitive version of Mowgli's story, a character from Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book novels, which have been comprised into the collection All the Mowgli Stories. Andy Serkis' Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle is now available on Netflix, and it will undoubtedly be compared to Disney's live-action Jungle Book movie, which was directed by Jon Favreau.
