The man was truly a genius such a shame he didn't live to see the Disney Renaissance it would have blown his mind out of his head if only he quit smoking when he was younger he would have probably lived a lot longer than he did
Luka Albijanic Meaning most of the adults who worked on the film, plus Rudyard Kipling (all the child actors that were cast in the film are still living as far as I know)
22:08 my mind can't comprehend that that's his actual voice. It just doesn't feel right hearing that epic voice coming out of an actual living human being. Lol.
as much as i loved the Jungle book that we all love and know , i would've loved to see Bill Peet's version of Jungle book , since the drawing and his story looked amazing and i believe it would've been just as amazing as the classic Walt disney : The Jungle Book
Hey don't assume because you love it that we all do you can find plenty of people who don't love disney movies. Many people like it definitely but saying we all love it is egocentric of you. I love Robert Louis Stevens books they are as much classics as the disneys junglebook movie that does not mean we all love them.When someone says like we all love them it is the same as saying the whole human race loves it with no consideration that there are people who don't care for it. Thats like having a disabiltiy and saying my disability is a diagnoses that we all know and have it is ridiculously exagerated and includes people who do not have it.
I met Frank and Ollie a few times after they had retired from Disney and you could really feel the love they still had for the animation business. l also went to a animation lecture they did were they showed several pencil animations scenes from their work at Disneys, they were very entertaining to listen to.
My favourite Walt Disney movie of all time-Phil Harris as Baloo was just fabulous George Sanders as Shere Khan and Louie Prima as King Louie wonderful characters wonderful picture!
I like how the film still hd some dark moments (like the original book did), but also had it's light moments too. It wasn't too dark or too light-hearted. It was perfectly balanced out.
I love both the 1967 animated classic and the 2016 live action version of The Jungle Book. They each have different takes on Rudyard Kiplings original story such as in the live action movie we see more of my favorite animal the wolves 🐺 then the cartoon version and King Louie’s song I Wanna be like you is slightly darker and my favorite villain Kaa the snake voiced by the great Sterling Holloway in the animated version and is voiced by Scarlett Johanssonin in the live action version. Thanks Uncle Walt and all the wonderful staff and animators for making this timeless classic movie that continues to bring joy to generations both young and old to this day ❤️👍
I love how revered they were about Bill Peet being Walt's right hand guy... when in actuality they never got along. He infamously spilt ink all over Walt in frustration once.
Joey.T.Cartoon.P MrGabeanator I rather see Bill Peet's version of The Jungle Book, because it's a lot more closer to Rudyard Kipling's book. In the new Blue Ray they released they did a new a version of Bill Peet's ending of The Jungle Book, which I really want to see real bad! I could order it from the library but since I'm now in a different region of New York and forgot how to order books from the catalog.
What I give to hear the full cuts from Louis Prima and The Witnesses that start at 35:30. I first heard of them through this movie, and was completely hooked. Amazing.
All those years I LOVED Disney movies, yearning for the next one while knowing it would be a while before a new one was released. I never gave a thought to how they came into being 😳. Walt Disney would live forever in my childish thinking. Now I can say a sincere “Thank You” to him and all the artists who came together to create the enchantment, joy and entertainment that filled me and SO many other children(including adult children) with the magic and joy of these Wonderful Movies. 🤗✨💕
Bagheera the melanistic (black fur) pardus (scientific name for leopard) *panther* or panthera is a group of big cats (tiger, lion, jaguar, leopard, snow leopard)
first movie I ever saw in cinema in 1986. Although according to my parents, I spent a god bit of the film with my hands over my face after seeing Shir Khan.
Escherichia2003 he didn't scare me in thi one but in the live action movie i was terrified i kept my head down half the movie in the theater LOL 1 was 9 LOL in 1994
Wonderful documentary! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us and with so many people all over the world! You're a strong, wonderful person! Thank you so much for what you're doing! Keep it up! R.I.P. Walt Disney. He was a Great Artist, Dreamer, Genius and Man.
"... it's not the most grand artistically" I dunno, those jungle backgrounds, including the waterfall, look beautiful; and the sketchy animation fits the movie perfectly, as almost all the movie's cast is furry animals anyway.
"not the most grand artistically" is a very apt statement. Bambi, Pinocchio,Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty etc- it's certainly "not the most grand artistically" of the Walt Disney era Disney feature films.
I remember these were on after the movie and at the end of the credits on the classic disney vhs tapes! I remember turning these off because they bored me so Id just rewind the tape.
When was this made/released? I think I saw sketches of Rapunzel and Flynn (I think) in the background when Glen Keane came up, or I could just be imagining things :) but thanks for uploading this!
I love the jungle book is one of my bestest favourite Disney movie ever my favourite Disney character is bagheera and my favourite Disney villain in this movie is shere khan
I can’t watch this as an adult,even thinking about it makes me want to cry,I watched this movie every day as a kid and thinking about Mowli leaving his animal friends breaks my heart!
Wonderful documentary! Thank you so much for sharing with all of us and with so many people all over the world! You're a strong, wonderful person! Thank you so much for what you're doing! Keep it up! R.I.P. Walt Disney! :( He was a Great Artist, Dreamer, Genius and Man!
26:49 I have to say, it's really impressive that Disney decided to show Bruce Reitherman's recording of Christopher Robin from "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree" here (albeit from an unrestored print), instead of Jon Walmsley's re-dub from "The Many Adventures" compilation film version (especially since Disney has held back from releasing the original featurette versions and even more so that "The Many Adventures" is the version they prefer the audience to remember. I swear, it's the original Star Wars trilogy all over again; someone should make a despecialized edition of those cartoons).
Bambi was also the same which is to say NOT a children's book. It too was dark. It was a coming of age story as told from the animals prospective. Disney made it a sweet fairytale with love interests. In the book Faline had a fraternal twin Gobo who was not included in the film. She was also his cousin as her mother Ena was Bambi's mother's older sister.
I recently picked up the re-translation that used the original manuscript and was astonished at how much as missing from the English version. Whole paragraphs and sentences omitted. Words replacing the original with something else which changed the meaning of that sentence entirely.
One particular sentence comes to mind of when Bambi, Faline and Gobo saw the two stags on the meadow. The english translation was they were told by their mothers that " Those are your fathers. " The actual german was " Those are the fathers. " I can only wonder what Bambi's Kinder will turn out to be.
I ended up here, because I started watching the 2016 version. I couldn't bear more than an hour. It's so dark and depressing and full of bitterness and negative vibes. If I had watched this as a child, I would've ended up with nightmares. A pity, since the animations and computer work is fantastic.
I think my favourite Sterling character is either the Cheshire Cat or Roquefort, both underrated characters of his career, the latter being the only time a Sterling Holloway role interacts with a Phil Harris role.
They didn't follow the story from the book but they followed a story that made people happy the smile. Some of the stories from the books are pretty dark
You're a good man Walt Disney 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😌😌😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😞😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😍😍😖💗💘✋💕💜💛💚💙👅👅💅👻👹👽💪👀👂👃😷😞😒😛😜😝😋😗😙😯☺😊😀😁😂😃😃😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
But fortunatly in the 80's new animators came in to the disney animation studios nad the 9 old man retired and in 1989 the little mermaid started the Disney renaissiance.
Walt tears want to steer inside of me.walt thank you for your purity.was said that the animators were at their high point in life at this point ,do you know who guided them,do you know who is responsible for the golden age of animation.even when satan got to him when by the little cricket in Pinocchio Walt says why do I need a conscious for, his nephew in a interview said Walt read him Pinocchio before it was made,he said it was an amazing story but when he watched the video he was disappointed.you see if satan hadn't gotten to Walt Pinocchio would have been amazing,even with all of that he still didn't destroy all that was given to walt for , maybe not to the purist but he still kept on giving humanity something no one else has been able to do.
henrik echers, At least The Jungle Book actually being a ‘public domain’ means that Disney doesn’t completely own rights. Up to the point where any other company can adapt The Jungle Book at the same time(We have ”Mowgli” made by Warner Bros coming out this years). Disney general has this notorious reputation of rarely being close to the sources even Walt Disney himself doesn’t make a difference. The Jungle Book is lucky to be a public domain like even the same can be said for Tarzan. There are rights to stories that sadly Disney owns rights to them and we not see various adaptations of them as much other than what Disney makes from them. Like Bambi, the author of the original story was living in exile in Switzerland after Nazis occupies his home in Austria and was in desperate need of money the same year the film had come out and he ended up selling exclusive rights to the Bambi character, but he would regret it having lost the rights to the character he created and part of the agreement was that he wouldn’t be allowed to ever again right another story of Bambi. Prior to that he originally sold the rights to Metro Goldwyn Mayer(guess they can’t be trusted neither cause..) but one of their producers passed and sold the rights to Disney thinking that an intended live action film would be to difficult at the time. There’s even the author of Mary Poppins whom after previous attempts finally sold the film rights to Disney only after agreeing that she would be around to supervise for production of the film, but she ended intensely hating the Disney film and regretted selling the film rights in the end. I’m all about Disney, but only so much that I know downsides they generally been having for the past century deep down.
+Dragon37 Which is exactly why they fixed that mistake with The Jungle Book. The Sword and the Stone used 3 voice actors overall for Wart, because the first 2 went through puberty. They probably didn't want to go through the confusion again of having 2-3 different toned voices playing the same character. Instead of trying to rush new dialogue in with the already recorded dialogue, they thought it would be better to ditch the original, and start over fresh with a voice they felt wouldn't change pitch anytime soon.
Walt Disney was who and what he was inside and out from top to bottom, and that can't be changed, but he meant just as well as everyone else in his studio did.
