The Vultures were originally going to be voiced by The Beatles. The band's manager, Brian Epstein, approached the Disney studios about having The Beatles appear in the film, and Disney had his animators create the Vultures specifically to be voiced by the band. But when Epstein took the idea to the Beatles, John Lennon vetoed the idea, and told Epstein to tell Disney he should hire Elvis Presley instead. The look of The Vultures, with their mop-top haircuts and Liverpool voices, are a homage to The Beatles; one bird's voice and features are clearly based on George Harrison's. When the Beatles departed the project, the song was rewritten as a barbershop quartet, to make it timeless.
All of the 'scatting' in the film was improvised by Phil Harris and Louis Prima.
Shere Khan's stripes proved to be a nightmare for the animators working on him.
Walt Disney died during production of this film. Many people wondered at what the studio's fate would be, particularly the animation division. The film performed extremely well at the box office, ensuring that the animators would not be put out of work. Had the film failed, it is likely that animation would have been closed down at the Disney studio.
This is the 19th animated feature in Disney canon. It was the last to be personally supervised by Walt Disney and Disney's last animated feature of the 1960s. This is the first Disney film to be released after his death in 1966 just prior to the film's theatrical release, and this film was dedicated to his memory.
"Mowgli: Oh, Baloo, I wanna stay with you. Baloo: Certainly, you do. Bagheera: Oh? And just how do you think he will survive? Baloo: "How do you think he will... " What do you mean how do you think he... He's with me, ain't he? And I'll learn him all I know. Bagheera: Oh? That shouldn't take too long."
"Mowgli: [to the unconscious Baloo] Baloo, get up. Oh, please get up. Bagheera: Mowgli, try to understand. Mowgli: Bagheera, what's the matter with him? Bagheera: You've got to be brave, like Baloo was. Mowgli: You... you don't mean... Oh, no. Baloo. Bagheera: Now, now. I know how you feel. But you must remember, Mowgli. Greater love hath no one than he who lays down his life for his friend. [At this point, Baloo starts waking up, unbeknownst to Bagheera and Mowgli] Bagheera: Whenever great deeds are remembered in this jungle, one name will stand above all others: our friend, Baloo the bear. [Baloo is so moved by this that he starts crying] Baloo: [sniffing] He's cracking me up. Bagheera: The memory of Baloo's sacrifice and bravery will forever be engraved on our saddened hearts. Baloo: Beautiful. Bagheera: This spot where Baloo fell will always be a hallowed place in the jungle, for there lies one of nature's noblest creatures. Baloo: I wish my mother could have heard this. Bagheera: It's best we leave now. Come along, man-cub. Baloo: [suddenly wide awake] Hey, don't stop now, Baggy, you're doing great! There's more, lots more! Bagheera: [shocked and angry] Why, you big fraud! You-you-you four-flusher! I-I'm fed up!... Mowgli: [ecstatic] Baloo! You're all right! Baloo: Who, me? Sure I am. Never felt better."
