“He couldn’t have gone far…but that’s far enough. After Shere Khan is gone, Colonel Brydon and the other people don’t bother going to look for Mowgli assuming him to be dead. The horses got scared during the ruckus and fled into the jungle unknowingly throwing Mowgli off the cart. What happened to Mowgli?

You see, some of the British soldiers hunted more animals than they needed from the jungle which infuriated Shere Khan. I find it odd for Mowgli to be so old before he becomes a jungle cub, at least so old in comparison to other adaptations of The Jungle Book!Įverything goes well until a tiger named Shere Khan attacks the British camp one night. His mother passed away when he was younger and only has a father. Of these Indians is a young kid of about 5 years old named Mowgli. Thankfully, he appears to have a sense of justice and does his best in protecting the Indians as well as the British. So, Colonel Brydon not only has authority over his soldiers, but also over the Indians with him. The movie takes place during the late 1800s when the British were ruling India. I find it enjoyably unusual to hear Sam Neill NOT put on an American accent! The soldiers are led by Colonel Brydon, played by Sam Neill, who also provides narration for the film. This is already more people than I’ve ever seen in any previous adaptation of The Jungle Book! We see a bunch of British soldiers traveling through India with some of the natives.
