  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Jungle Book (or Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book) is a 1942 film directed by Zoltan Korda, loosely based on Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book and starring Sabu as Mowgli.

Sabu had also previously starred in Korda's Elephant Boy, which was based on one of the non-Mowgli stories in The Jungle Book.

This film provides examples of:[]

  • Cats Hate Water: Mowgli tries to use this against Shere Khan. (In Real Life, tigers are among the feline varieties that have no problems with water.)
  • Gold Fever: The film is a flashback told by the lone survivor of a Gold Fever Massacre.
  • In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It: Was promoted as Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book.
  • Narrator All Along: The old man telling the story to the European tourists turns out to be the main villain of the story--the hunter who harassed Mowgli, almost killed his mother and nearly burned down the forest.
