Baloo

Baloo is the deuteragonist of "The Jungle Book" and its sequel "The Jungle Book 2". He is a fun-loving sloth bear and the best friend of Mowgli, whom he teaches to have fun. Though friends with the panther Bagheera, he is also contrasting to him, for while Baloo wants Mowgli to stay in the jungle and have fun with him, Bagheera is practical and, caring for his safety, wants Mowgli to be in the Man Village.
He is voiced by Phil Harris, who later voiced Thomas O'Malley in "The Aristocats" and Little John in "Robin Hood") in the first film and John Goodman in the sequel. His appearance in "Talespin" and prequel program "Jungle Cubs" is absolutely excluded.
