The Jungle Book - Alternate Ending: Mowgli and the Hunter 

5:41 Well, at least King Louie is still here

3:39 Hey, it’s Rocky!

I think Mowgli, Nathoo, Kitty, Shanti, and Ranjan would've been great friends.

Am I the only one who wonders why Buldeo wanted to kill Shere Khan so badly?

0:28 Let's begin

Mowgli is a badass in this alternate ending

Ahh, from the bill peet draft that was more true to the rudyard Kipling mowgli stories

1:02 His parents are still alive

8:01 That's pretty dark.

This ending is so much interesting and omg mowgli character growth

I hear there were a lot of story disagreements during this production. Makes me wonder if this ending was abandoned at Walt’s orders

If I lived in a village where being in underwear I public was allowed. I would definitely roam half naked forever 😂

So Mowgli's name really isn't Mowgli, huh. I guess I learn something new everyday ^^

The Jungle Book 2 (2026) live-action July 10th

I can see Mowgli crouching down and farting on shanties face 😂

Actually the pronunciation of Buldeo’s name is totally incorrect. It’s actually pronounced as “Bull-dey-o” not “Bull-dio”. Just as an FYI.

7:27-7:41 This kinda reminds me of the Jaws movie, where the hunter is killed by the animal, and the hero then uses the hunter's rifle to kill the animal in return. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if this was what inspired that ending.

Despite lack of two stories and bagheera is female, the russian version is much more close to book.

wish we had seen this get in as alongside showing more of the man village/more from the stories such as buldeo(love a amv done of the cut song mighty hunters replacing him with clayton from tarzan that really fit being close timeline wise.) & seeing more of mowgli's character becoming a man to defend the jungle from the dangerous evil of men & nature (showing shere khan causing his own death to man's gun by pettily trying to eat him self fulfilling in a way than if he had let the mancub be.). alongside seeing more of the wolf pack(that i do love the 2016 version/a.k.a the only good live action remake does more with too as they really were forgotten outside being framing making mowgli lose the heartfelt reason for why he wanted to stay in the jungle.)/in a better handled way than 2(would've liked to have seen shanti in this following mowgli trying to help.) showing the mancub living in the home of both man and the animal growing to be a leader like the stories.(if kh ever got to finally handle the jungle book,know it's less likely but would love if this & some of the the concepts of man being viewed as causing a great disaster in ancient times which would fit the keyblade war and perspective of how the animals viewed it being added in a new game.:3)

Mowgli to Buldeo; I'll never even be a man like you, nor an animal like Shere Khan!

Kaa is still alive and the only enemy left.

7:27 😂

I can see Mowgli and Tarzan crossover. The jungleverse. The loincloth verse

It’s funny Mowgli is the only human in the village half naked in underwear

Wait, Mowgli has a birth name?

Don't look now, Buldeo, but it looks like it's your own fear Shere Khan smells, and it also looks like it's his own fear you smell.

It would’ve been cool if this is what we got to see in the live action movie of the Disney jungle book if they have it not been in the cartoon movie since this is a ending in the cartoon one it cool if they put in the live action one I think the reason why this was deleted in the old movie of Disney’s jungle book because they thought the movie was going on too long and the movie didn’t need to villains or animated they run out of money so they couldn’t put this scene and they all ending and color made me or maybe thought this was too dark to put it ending in a cartoon Disney movie so maybe that’s why they scrapped it but I think it’s cool

If they go with this ending shere khan is included is one of disney villain who have horrible death
