Deliberate mistake: After Baloo and Bagheera escape from the monkeys, 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.]

Bagheera: This will take brains, not brawn.
Baloo: You better believe it, and I'm loaded with both.
Trivia: This is the last movie that Walt Disney made himself.
Question: Since Bagheera knows where the village is, why not just take infant Mowgli there and save everyone a lot of trouble?
Answer: He does say in the beginning of the movie that a village wasn't close by he knew where it was but it would have taken him several days to get the baby there. Plus the baby was going to need nourishment, or he would have died.





Answer: The animals considered man a strange creature and did not understand their ways, like wearing clothes and shoes. They were scared when Mowgli brought them fire. They only knew jungle ways, they figured the humans would eat him, like any small creature left on his own. Plus they knew man as a hunter and killer.
