Talk:The Jungle Book (1967 film)

message: This is Dusseldorke saying that I would like to add to this page.  Under the topic "Legacy," in the first note on the influence on "Robin Hood" I would like you to add that the dance between Baloo and King Louie in the song "I Wanna Be Like You" is the exact same dance between Little John and Lady Cluck in the "Robin Hood" song "The Phony King of England."  The following link shows the comparison.

In the original book The vultures are grim and evil characters who feast on the dead. Disney lightened it up by having The vultures bearing a physical and vocal resemblance to The Beatles. The members of the band would of almost sung the songs for the movie as well as voicing the vultures

message: In "Cast" change Shanti's description to "Darleen Carr as The Human Girl, the girl who lures Mowgil into the Man Village. She is not named in this film, but named Shanti in the sequel." Under "External links", take off the vi interwiki because it's already at the wikidata. The bot forgot to remove it because it has been renamed, and the new name is at wikidata.

message: The Jungle Book, written by Rudyard Kipling, was made into a film....etc.  
This was Kipling's work and it is necessary to keep his name alive.  Thanks for considering this change.  Our younger generation need to be familiar with this Nobel Prize winner.  This request is for his name to be in the beginning of your article.  Many thanks.  From member of the Kipling Society, London.

replies: text: Not done: This article is about the 1967 film and it already does mention that it is an adaptation of Kipling's work in the first paragraph. I believe that the spirit of your request is already accomplished by fact that the article The Jungle Book (note no parenthetical disambiguation) is about Kipling's book. What this means is that anyone coming onto Wikipedia searching for "The Jungle Book" would see the article on Kipling's book first and then have to navigate a couple of steps before arriving at this article. —KuyaBriBriTalk 22:18, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The article use the reference "Toon of a kind, The Sun, April 21, 2009." with a link on an article in the Sun writtenby TIM SPANTON. But this Sun's article use a video named Ressemblance dans les films Disney, a title in French. This video is this one published on youtube on 24 august 2008... 
* First the reference is uncorrect has the attribution to Spanton of sometjing he just republished. So could I remove it ?
* Second the replacement, i don't know if we could use this video ?

thread_title:  Issue with a reference 

message: Seeing the Jungle Book 2 did not come out until 2003 why is the girl named Shanti in the original movie's article when she was originally is given no name? As for reference (17) "Child actress Darlene Carr was going around singing in the studio when composers Sherman Brothers asked her to record a demo of Shanti's song "My Own Home". Carr's performance impressed Disney enough for him to cast her as Shanti." That review came out in 1998, 5 years before the release of the 2nd movie. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 00:28, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

message: WP:EUPHEMISM states: "The word died is neutral and accurate; avoid euphemisms such as passed away." The Critical reception section on this article reads: "The Jungle Book received an outpouring of positive reviews upon release, undoubtedly influenced by a nostalgic reaction to the passing of Disney". The wording needs be changed to read "the death of Disney" in accordance with MOS standards, as passing does sound silly. 82.8.252.13 (talk) 00:45, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

message: As near as I can tell, the book went into public domain in 1950 (copyrights lasted 56 years at the time).  If Disney exploited that, it puts an interesting spin on the Copyright Term Extension Act. - Richfife (talk) 18:43, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
