Mistakes

After Baloo and Bagheera escape from the monekys, they both have a black eye. However during their conversation by the water, between shots their black eyes vanish. [This is a Disney tradition, but still a mistake.] See more...

Trivia

In a scene near the beginning of the movie, Mowgli is jumped on by his wolf family. The exact way they jump on him, lick him, and the way Mowgli wipes his face afterwards is identical to a scene in The Sword in the Stone when Wort is greeted by his dogs. See more...

Corrections

'Now when you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear' is a line from 'Bare Necessities.' It doesn't work though, as neither pawpaws or prickly pears are native to India, where the film is set. [Neither are any bears except the sloth bear, which is nowhere near as big as Baloo.]

Some of the monkeys have prehensile tails. No Old World monkeys possess this trait, only some species of New World monkeys. [And no monkeys, in our universe, can speak like they do in this cartoon universe.]

After Baloo and the Bagheera save Mowgli from King Louie you can see that Baloo and Bagheera both have a bruise on their eyes. Baloo has one on his left eye but when he looks at his reflection in he water the bruise jumps to his right eye, the reflection is reversed. [It's not a reflection; the viewer is looking up at Baloo and Bagheera through the water. That's why neither Baloo's bruise (left eye) nor Bagheera's (right eye) is reversed. Ditto the position of the characters; if it were a reflection, Bagheera would appear to be on the other side of Baloo.]
