Disney's 1967 adaptation of ''The Jungle Book'' is a famous departure from the tone of the novel. Major changes include Baloo and Bagheera's reversal in roles (Baloo becomes more fun-loving and goofier compared to his stern book counterpart, and Bagheera becomes a more stern but loyal character) and Kaa becoming a slapstick villain (he was more heroic and wiser in the novel). The 2016 live-action remake has a balance between the original animated film and the novel, with Mowgli using human tools to help survive in the jungle.
Chuck Jones created three versions of ''Mowgli's Brothers'', ''The White Seal'', and ''Rikki Tikki Tavi''. The first two are narrated by Roddy McDowall, and ''Rikki Tikki Tavi'' is narrated by Orson Welles. Chuck Jones's adaptation of ''Mowgli's Brothers'' is notable for being the only adaptation to have Shere Khan be a white tiger; white tigers are often said to have difficulty surviving in the wild due to their white fur not blending into the grass.
