Mowgli : What Kind Of Animal Is King Louie?

He is literally bill murray with fur, snapping the typical bill murray humor, and removing a bit of the magic.but that is thankfully made up for, as the originally playful orangutan king louie has been transformed into a gigantopithecus. he sits on his throne like jabba the hutt, rests in the shadows like don corleone, and appears genuinely threatening thanks to the spectacular voice and facial work by christopher walken.the most resonating of all the on-screen moments is the 150-foot long snake, kaa, whose body coils the forest of vines overrun with echoes. favreau made such a perfect decision in casting the spooky emotive voice of scarlett johansson that punches you in the gut.​then there's neel sethi, the newcomer who plays mowgli.

Mowgli (sethi) is a young human (hereto known as a man-cub) raised by wolves in the thick jungles of india. after a run-in with malevolent tiger shere khan (elba), the creatures of the jungle decide it'd be best if mowgli finds shelter among his own kind. while shere khan is out for blood, the young man-cub is protected by bagheera the panther (kingsley), baloo the bear (murray), and raksha (nyong'o) and akela the wolves (esposito).

I have 3 major problems with the film, that causes the rest of it to be ruined for me.1. shere khan's motive for hating mowgli. in the original book, shere khan hates mowgli because he thinks he will grow up into a man and kill them, in the far superior cartoon version its for the thrill of the hunt.

Fortunately, a lightning strikes a nearby tree and sets its branches on fire. the vultures inform mowgli of shere khan's pyrophobia, and the boy ties one of the burning branches to the tiger's tail. shere khan panics and runs away in terror.

The two of them managed to rescue mowgli from the bandar-log, shere khan, and tabaqui with the help of kaa. when akela ordered mowgli to leave the lair after he used fire to drive off shere khan and tabaqui, baloo was saddened to see him go. in the climax of the film, baloo is among the animals that witness mowgli's duel with shere khan outside the man village which ended with the death of shere khan.

Bagheera hears that shere khan has killed akela and taken over the hills, he is hunting mowgli, baloo realises that he cannot the man cub's safety and agrees to push him away so he will head to the man village. however mowgli is kidnapped by monkeys, who take him to their ruler king louie (christopher walken), an orangutan-resembling gigantopithecus, who tries to coerce him into the secret of creating the red flower, but baloo and bagheera arrive and rescue him, and cause the temple to fall apart. during the chase mowgli was informed by king louie of akela's death, furious that baloo and bagheera never told him he decides to return to confront shere khan, to do so he finds the man village and steals a lit torch to use as a weapon.
