This is a great
novel about a boy growing up in the Indian jungle and his adventures in this
classic coming of age story. It's an interesting piece of literature because
it's not very clear who the audience is supposed to be. Disney made it for kids
by turning the story into an animated movie and a live action movie later on.
Neither depictions of the book are even close to the original content; just
throwing it out there. The book may be through the point of view of a child,
but it deals with more adult issues. There's betrayal, vengeance, violence, and
sacrifice in a story about Mowgli trying to find his place in the world.
I personally don't think the animated Disney movie is bad, but it is interesting to compare it to the original book. It's interesting to see what Disney took from it and made more "child friendly". I will compare the book to the animated version because it was the first Disney adaptation and majority of people are more familiar with this version than anything else.
